Amazing Milky Way images captured over Cornwall
"It's one of the darkest places in the UK," Mr Nuttall said."There's just nothing there - it's just blackness, you know, once you look out to sea. "And yeah, the Milky Way looks fantastic."A lot of people say that you have quite a lot of cloudy skies and a bit of rain in Cornwall, so it's quite a rarity to get clear skies especially."I had three nights in a row while I was down there, so it was a bit of a bonus really."
Mr Nuttall posted the images onto social media and said he was surprised how popular they have become.He said: "I put them on a local Facebook page. "Obviously it went viral on there, and a lot of people, you know obviously liked it, and commenting on it and all that, saying how fantastic they were."

If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Few trends have made a comeback quite as stylishly as the ballet flat. Once a defining footwear choice of the early 2000s, the ballet flat has re-emerged in recent years as a staple - and this time, it's more versatile and coveted than ever. One person who has been ahead of the curve is the Princess of Wales ' sister, Pippa Middleton. Known for her effortlessly chic wardrobe, Pippa has been a loyal fan of ballet flats for years - long before their current revival. From sleek monochrome designs and classic neutrals to bold pops of red, she has consistently proven these flats are both timeless and endlessly wearable. This season, the high street is brimming with ballet flats for every taste - whether you're after a minimalist style, something floral and feminine or full-on glamour with embellishments. At the top of my wish list are the Amber flats from LK Bennett. With a sleek silhouette and elaborate strap, they're the perfect blend of sophistication and sparkle. The Mary Janes from Tabitha Simmons' collection for Next are also a standout thanks to their scalloped edging and metallic gold finish - ideal for day-to-night dressing. For those prioritising comfort without compromising on style, Vivaia delivers with a red lace-up design that is made to carry you through the day in ease. Ever-iconic Pretty Ballerinas are offering chic mint green and white woven leather shoes, which are light, airy and ideal for warmer weather. And if you're looking to make a statement, Penelope Chilvers and Schuh are embracing bold animal prints, with leopard and zebra designs leading the charge. For a feminine finish, Aldo's Floralina Ballerinas in a pretty lilac tone will add just the right touch of charm. Take a look below to see these and more of my favourite ballet flats this season - there is something for everyone.
