A new addition to my HDR galleries which will build slowly over time.

Cornwall, (Cornish: Kernow), is a unitary authority and ceremonial county of England, within the United Kingdom. It is bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by the county of Devon, over the River Tamar. Cornwall has a population of 534,300, and covers an area of 1,376 square miles. The administrative centre and only city is Truro.

Cornwall is the traditional homeland of the Cornish people and is recognised as one of the Celtic nations, retaining a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history. The geographical area of Cornwall also constitutes the Duchy of Cornwall. Some people question the present constitutional status of Cornwall, and a nationalist movement seeks greater autonomy within the United Kingdom in the form of a devolved legislative assembly, and greater recognition of the Cornish people as a national minority.
