Basset Monument, Carn Brea.

Basset Monument, Carn Brea.
Monument erected in 1836 in memory of Francis Basset, First Baron de Dunstaville, an influential mine owner. Paid for by public subscription by legions of grateful miners (or so they say - I have my doubts that ANY mine owner would have been that beloved by his serfs / minions / slaves!).
Perhaps marginally better on large for stonework detail.

An interesting looking structure..............it and the surrounding large rocks stands out well in the surrounding landscape. A nicely composed and taken shot Andy (yay.......I got your name right)!

The people at the base of the monument look like a hoody-wearing pair of young lads. As to the "public subscriptions" I would guess that they were probably taken directly out of the miners pay!

You may be right, Keith. His Baronship might well have been a sterling geezer but I retain my suspicions about the whole thing, as I can see you do too!

Wonderful view from there, Andy. I think that guy is wearing a hoodie.

You may be right, Jenny. I've been in Spain these past dozen years or so and fashion there never extended to hoodies, so I was a little bit puzzled!
Many thanks!

The ungrateful chap with the strange headgear is attempting to remain anonymous so as to avoid paying a "subscription" to the Baron's estate!!

That's a nicely surreal take on it, Scott!

Impressive. Reminds me of a quite similar one we have on northern frontier with Galicia…

What does that one celebrate, Isabel? This one would seem to celebrate someone's ego!
