This is the album cover for Changing Tides and shows the iconic flagstaff on Porthleven harbour.
Porthleven Harbour lies on Cornwall's South coast between Penzance and Lizard Point. Its position leaves it exposed to the wind and swell from the South and West. In particularly bad weather, the harbour is closed as it is not considered a safe anchorage. This is signaled by the red ball being hoisted on the flagstaff as we can see in this picture. |
