The Scilly season, all year round
Article Abstract:
The Scilly Isles are very different from the rest of the UK. Their granite is whiter and softer than that found in Cornwall, England, and they have unusual flora and fauna. The light is very intense and sharp, and this makes the Scilly Isles very attractive to photographers. The island of St Mary's is home to more than half the islands' resident population of 2,000, but the most attractive island is St Agnes, where there are extremely interesting rock formations.
