PhonePhotography - Newquay at 5am
In early 2022 we discovered the house we were renting had a fuel-oil leak which would require extensive work to repair. We had to move.
There is such a paucity of affordable housing stock in the area we live that we were unable to find anywhere before we had to vacate.
The council offered temporary accomadation in the form of a room in a hostel, for a family of 5, forty-seven miles away. My oldest daughter stayed with friends so she could continue with her job. My wife and other children went to stay with family in Scotland. I stayed in the hostel. It was in Newquay.
Newquay is a pleasant seaside town and I spent much time walking around it. A couple of times these walks were in the early hours of the morning when the situation had induced insomnia.
The picture above was taken one such time.
And it's a moment I remember as it is tied to a night of fretting which, by the time I took the photo was resolving towards peace.
During the walk I spent some time in prayer, I took deep breaths of the cool morning air, and I listened to some music.
I'd walked for quite a bit by the time I got to this point which is just off Trebarwith Crescent. I'm looking down over Towan Beach toward the headland. Directly before me is Killacourt, a lovely public open space with grass, seating, and bandstand.
During the day it gets busy, but at 5am I was the only one there and experienced a feeling of potential and renewal about the day ahead.

This is such a beautiful view! Looks so calm and serene, certainly mood uplifting.

I love everything about this image especially the blue color. I guess it's because that's my favorite color. I'll just be lost in this beautiful scenery, enjoying every thing it offers.
The beauty of staying in a seaside.
I've always imagined that. I hope I get to experience it one day
Wonderful, Stuart! Sometimes we all need a good walk to clear our heads and gain perspective, and when you have the crisp salty air of the sea and the views to accompany it, you can't go wrong. Seems like you found a nice spot to sit and contemplate. Nevertheless, I hope that situation of being apart from your family didn't last too long and that you are now more settled where you currently live 🙏
hehe getting your posts in Dreemport curation seems to be a regular thing for me now :-)

And yeh, it was a walk thay did the trick.

That was really unpleasant
It was heartwarming to know you walked and prayed. Sometimes that’s all we need … a little time away in the quietness of it all
