Sunset at Wheal Coates.

Sunset at Wheal Coates.
Taken from the slopes of St Agnes Beacon. Looking towards the headland on the left, you can just about see the lighthouse Island of Godrevy and beyond that Carbis Bay and St Ives. The buildings are the top ones of Wheal Coates Tin Mine. This was built in 1872 and drove 32 heads of stamps as well as winding from Towanroath shaft below. The engine stopped working in 1887, although it was modified during the 1910-1914 reworking. It was consolidated in 1986.
Of course a great sky for the lover of such things too. The type of view I will never get closer to home.

Essential full screen.

One for you here Toz. I loved this light. I hardly noticed the right hand branches and they do add a little depth. Cheers for the star. Herb

Thanks so much Judite. Light is a thing I strive for as it is that that makes photography.

What an amazing sky..............dark and threatening clouds with gorgeous light along the horizon and some beautiful sun rays.

The colours in the foreground are beautiful and I like the almost silhouetted buildings.

If I was being really picky I might have cropped out the tiny tree branches on the right - but they don't detract from how good this shot is - just a small distraction :-))

I do love a BIG sky and we have one here for sure. A lot of nice ingredients for sure and as I said to Toz above, I never even noticed the right hand branches. They do give a little depth though, I think. Thanks for your admiration.

Cheers, Herb
