In Cornwall but I can no longer say exactly where since Google stole my notes as well as my photos. So I choose a favourite place. Why not? For Pam.

Loch Coruisk is an inland freshwater loch that is situated in the very heart of the Black Cuillins, an impressive granite horseshoe mountain range, the closet Britain gets to Alpine conditions. This photo looked good when originally taken in 1978 but I have had to heavily doctor it just to get something worth showing! Scanned from a damaged print.

A huer's lookout post. A huer looked out for the annual pilchard shoals - large sardines - and this was big business. When they were sighted, the town sprang into action. For the past 100 years and more, the pilchard shoals haven't passed this way.

A favourite rock pool you can swim in (well a little bit). I have been known to skinny dip here if I thought there was no-one around, and often there wasn't. Godrevy Point, Cornwall.
Field mushroom again, this time with its even more adventurous mate! For Pam.

I may well have posted this on Pano and on ip before but as I took so many shots like this, if it's a new or an old one, I don't think it matters all that much!.

Just to while away the hours here is not idleness. It is profoundly beneficial.

This would have made a superb course for 4 people of mushroom on toast, gently fried in butter and with chopped parsley, on sourdough toast maybe. But I couldn't pick it, it looked so at peace here. I left it alone. Above Basset Cove, North Cliffs, Cornwall.

Taken from the remains of the landward ramparts of the neolithic coastal fort, known as Crane Castle. The seaward ramparts have long since vanished into the sea.
