Porthgwarra. We have to hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel! H. A. N. W. E. everyone!!!

Superbe.... Bon Weekend.

Merci, Malik!

Perfect for discreet movements..I bet quite a bit of smuggling was carried out along that tunnel...
an appropriate caption Btw. Have a good weekend Andy... and Cheers from Dj.

Many thanks, Dave!

Didn't they used to call these tunnels "Smugglers tunnels"? This is a brilliant picture - you can imagine how much fun children have running through here.

Thanks, Jenny.
Maybe they did but this one was used more for lugging fishing boats from one cove to the other depending on tides and weather conditions, etc.

I've walked through this tunnel many times Andy ~~~ Apt title

I remember that you know this coast well Nick. I have much enjoyed seeing your photos from here and Porthcurno / Logan Rock round the corner, over the years.

I got a bit confused about the location when I noticed you'd included this in your Central Spain album, but the key words included Cornwall. Never mind, it doesn't take a lot to confuse me these days. ;-)
Thank you for the title. let's hope we see a light sooner rather than later.

Woops! Duly corrected!!!!
Thank you, Amelia.

JUST A BARREL WIDE !!!!

HA HA, PAM, SO IT IS!!!

Makes a lovely image especially with the ray of sunlight. I'm pleased to see it isn't a very long tunnel.

No, it's quite short!
Thank you, Jean!

Fantastic, Andy !! H.A.N.W.E. !!!

Merci, Marie-claire!

Superb shot! HANWE!

Gorgeous light here Andy.

Thank you, Jaap!

Joli cadrage !!

Thank you, Boro!

Have a very nice weekend too, Andy !

Many thanks, Ulrich!

Bonne perspective !

Thank you, Gilbert!

Knowing our luck, the light at the end of the tunnel will prove to be a train hurtling towards us :-))

A nicely captured image Andy, beautifully exposed too. I'm sure you've posted it on IP before, but well worth another look anyway :-)

Thanks Keith.
All my Cornwall photos have been seen on either ip and/or Pano but that can't be helped as I don't have any new ones. I won't be getting any this year either by the look of things. :o(

Fantastic find and capture, Andy! Have a great weekend, my friend.

Many thanks, Valerie!

Grrrrrrr, j'aime mieux les grands espaces !*************
Bonne soirée Andy.

Me too, nonetheless I thought it appropriate!
Thank you, Jocelyne!

Very beautiful shot !

Thank you, Proxar!

And that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the headlight on the locomotive! ;)

Pleased you recognised that, Steve!

Are you still in Madrid now? Stay safe...

Thank you, Isabel. You too!
I live in Madrid permanently and only visit Cornwall for a couple of weeks every couple of years. It will be a longer gap than that this time, sadly and my parents are getting older ...

Hard to be away from beloved ones...
On the news we see that in Madrid you are in “hard” quarantine, here not yet but in big cities it is getting there too.
Stay safe Andy

What is 'hard', Isabel? My girlfriend thinks that the new decree means that people should still go to work, including her. It is not clear!!! I know that I can't give face to face classes and am restricted to my flat but I can give online or telephone classes in some cases.
Boris Johnson is running a very high risk strategy in the UK. But in any country, many of us will be left to our fate as the health services won't be able to cope. They will be heroes but ...
I have recently re-read Camus' La Peste (in the original French ... it was an A level set book at school and I had kept my copy ..), but I re-read it just before we heard about Wuhan and Covid-19. Prescient or what?
Stay safe of course!

I meant that in big cities quaratine is more difficult than in isolated villages... and harder to go shopping for food.
By prescience or coincidence I took La Peste to read in Norway last month... I dont know if people will learn the lesson this time and be less arrogant, but no hope when I see how fast spanish flu and WWI horrors, WWII extermination camps etc were thrown away as things of a remote past.
I confine myself as I can, I am lucky to have desert nature close, I help older ones even if I am not so young myself...

Stay safe too, both of you...

Hi Isabel.
Replying to this this very late due to computer issues as you know. But temporarily I have a computer window (I can see signs that it will 'die' again shortly).
We are some weeks further down the line and politicians haven't covered themselves in glory., ... But in truth, what can they do?
Stay very safe.

Glad to hear from you... stay safe too... here covid didn't arrive yet...

Isabel, is that possible?

There are some preserved "niches", but it will come to us one day or another, we just have to be prepared.
I live in the middle of a desert, uphills there is very few people and in the seaside there is almost nobody: place too expensive to live for most, and per the workers as everything is closed they are not there...

I understand. Let's hope there's a vacine before it finds your secret enclave!
Stay very safe!

Nice one Andy.

Many thanks, Rosa. Stay safe!

Really spectacular Andy. I love it . Hopefully the end of the tunnel is in sight as soon as possible.

Pleased ypu like it Anton! Stay safe!

Wow, dreamy! Spectacular photo, Andy!
