Ancient field wall, heather and granite.

Admirable et bien rendue avec ces belles couleurs...Vivement le printemps.

Many thanks, Malik!

Gorgeous capture and colors! Stay well!

Thank you, William!

Veo las piedras neolíticas y realmente tendrá su valor. Pero al ver la foto me he preguntado ¿Porque se formarán esas manchas blancas de la mar al embestir contra las rompientes y permanecen un tiempo sin disgregarse? ¿Será que al chocar la mar contra las rocas sale espuma blanca y se mantiene sazonada con el salitre marino?

I have no idea, José Manuel.
I have never known anything different around these coasts so you may be right.
I remember asking the same question when I was a child, thinking it might be pollution and, while I can't now remember the answer I was given, it definitily wasn't caused by pollution!
The rock is all granite here.

Vertigineuse !!! Superbe

Thank you, Boro.

great pov and compo

Many thanks, Mario!

Beautiful, Cornwall and its cliffs... treasures!

Thank you, Isabel!

Nice and colourful picture Andy.

Many thanks, Jaap!

Fascinating that something which looks like part of the landscape was built all that time ago.

Thank you, Jean. The walls proablably looked more effective 8,000 years ago!

Wonderful Cornwall, Andy !!!

Bon regard !

Marie-claire,
Gilbert,
Thank you, both!

A great POV and colours, plus fascinating information, Andy.

Many thanks,
George!

An inhabited place long ago and is now a beautiful flowery field..
Splendid photo and note, Andy

Thank you, Judite. Probably not used as a field now but still used as boundary markers between farm properies I suspect! Here, obviously a field edge and at one time substantial enough to keep cattle from straying down the cliffs. 8,000 years of severe Atlantic weather has reduced the walls to these mere stubs!

Marvelous thia

Thank you, Annemarie!

Lovely view and what a wonderful old fence! Would have needed something to keep catttle away from those cliffs.

8,000 years ago and I imagine the walls would have been substantial enough to do the job, Ron!
But Atlantic storms are fierce and often destructive and I'm amazed we can still follow the line of these walls; a testament to the building skills of those early farmers!

Very nice again, Andy !

Thank you, Ulrich!

I'm guessing that most of these neolithic walls weren't as close to the sea when they were first laid down!

A lovely view over the cliff edge Andy.............I like the textures and details in the rocks. A nice display of heather on the cliff edge too!

Thank you, Keith.
Not completely sure about that. In many cases you're quite right, especilly where the rock is softer than granite, but here it's granite and I should think less quick to erode.

Beautiful dizzy view, Andy. You chose the perfect POV to give us a thrilling shiver!

I didn't mean to give anyone a shiver, Annalia and am struggling to see how that could be but if I did, I apologise! If you mean being close to the edge, I am standing on the coast path which crosses left to right (or right to left) some distance away from the edge. Appearances can be deceptive, but nothing along these lines was intended!!!!!

I meant an exciting shiver, Andy, not a terrifying one! :) And yes, the POV gives the appearance of standing right at the edge. I am not afraid of heights and even did some mountain climbing when I was younger, so to me that feeling is more thrilling than scary. Although, of course, the perception of being at the edge of a precipice always entails a heightened sense of danger. Sorry I made you think I disliked the image when it is quite the opposite!

No worries, Annalia! It's only after your comment that I realised that it was possible to see the drop in that light! I suppose I don't notice these things because, like you, I did a lot of rock climbing in my teens and twenties! Have a good weekend!

Une côte aux mille couleurs qui doit est très agréable à découvrir !**************

Thank you, Jocelyne!

Fantastic!

Un amalgame d'éléments de la nature qui caressent mes pupilles curieuses !

Superb Cornish coastal view Andy.

Cheryl,
Léopld,
Rosa,
Very many thanks!

I always like the combination that your photos offer us of the discreet hues of the coastal flora, of the grass that surrounds it, of the rocks that they overhang and of the omnipresent water that wants to swallow everything in this kind of omnipotence that governs our lives! I simply love this balance of power, so much more natural & healthier than that which our society induces...

fine observations and great comment, Eric. Many thanks!!

Being a Scot, I love to see the heather!

In my Spain shots of the countryside you tend to see the same colour of the wild flora but here it's lavender rather than heather! I like both,
Thank you, Joe!

Outstanding capture, my friend! Wonderful light, compo and details! Kind regards, Anton.

I'm pleased you like it, Anton. Thank you!

Nice shot!!!!!!
Have a nice and safe new week****

Thank you, Nouchet!

Super Blickwinkel und wunderschöne Farben.

Many thanks, Andrea, and thank you for your visit!

Wow, thank you for explaining those huge rocks to us. I never knew about these being originally there as a field wall, and I've often seen them on the top of the cliffs around here.
