One of the times I look forward to each summer is when the farmers harvest their wheat and barley. Its a time when the skies are blue and the fields have turned to a light golden brown. It’s a time when I head to the fields myself and capture the harvesters working hard to finish the job in hand before the light and weather fades. The Cornish summers are always unpredictable but the farmers carry a wealth of knowledge when it comes to harvesting time.

There's more to Levy than meets the eye
Step aside, step aside, I urge you please, distance yourselves from what the tourists see
Harbour views isn’t just coffee and cake, stainless steel fittings and posh fish and chips
Look further, look further, there’s more to be seen, Porthlevens beauty isn’t just skin deep.
Harboured boats, such as “Sharon Tracey”, granite steps and multi coloured bunting,
rusting ladders, piles of ropes, sea defences protected by big black guns.
Porthleven, Porthleven there’s so much to see, beyond the facade of cornish cream teas.
There’s colour everywhere, in different forms, from window displays to murals on walls.
seagulls, even a black and white bull and cow, keeping an eye on us and looking rather profound.
Red curtains hiding some galvanised steps, a closed container and a place to rest
Porthleven, Porthleven, you’ve so much to offer, just look around more and then discover the other,
look further, look further than the end of your nose,
and you’ll see how Levy begins to unfold
Don’t forget the pier in its granite splendour, view it from angles that local postcards don’t cover,
victorian railings, deep brown in colour, guard those who wish to go much further,
mix up with film to give a different prospective
on how Levys pier will look when it’s printed.
Porthleven, Porthleven, its a pleasure to shoot you,
when you see something else that the normal might not do
