Orange light (2015) Photograph by Gary Moger

North Cornwall, winter 2015.

The sun is going down and the cliffs are on fire.

That orange light. It arrives low and fast in a Cornish winter, catching the top of the headland and turning it gold, while the Atlantic below stays cold and silver-blue. The rocks are dark, the sea is still, and for a few minutes everything is lit from the side like a painting nobody planned.

I've lived alongside this stretch of coastline for over twenty years. I surf here, walk here and spend a lot of time watching the sea. You begin to recognise its moods, but the light can still catch you by surprise. These are the moments I keep coming back for.

This photograph is part of my ongoing exploration of the Atlantic coast in winter — its changing light, its textures and the contrast between the warmth of the land and the cold water below.

The print
