Andy Rodker's photos

The steep path up from Trevaunance Cove and towards Newdown's Head, St Agnes District.

My girlfriend saw the camera and ... there she goes ... walking away very smartish!

One of the joys of teaching Business English is the early start of a morning! Top executives want to have their classes between 7 and 8:30. I do sometimes get to see sunrises in compensation!

Mallow and margaritas by the side of a lane. On "z" please.

I got a little bit wet again!

Not sure how to put a comment directly onto a photo. So I will say here: Very well done all at IMA and not forgetting Christophe whose original vision we all appreciate so much! Now to make it all work!! Sorry about the rather grim expression here! But I simply couldn't find any other self-portraits! This was a shot from a batch taken for my passport back in 2010!

Pasiflora. My Mum's garden again! Despite some sour and peevish comments many of us received from an unexpected source (unexpected to me anyway!), let's make this terrific site flourish!! 'Surely it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness!'

Covering the hillsides in late April and May. Central and southern Spain and Portugal.

Very low tide. Looking between Asparagus and Samphire Islands over to one of the Crane Islands.

Madrid Province. Very close to the capital! On the horizon, La Sierra de La Cabrera.

Spring Greens! From the Roman road near El Escorial.

Purpose-built 1980s park in northeast Madrid (but then I suppose that ALL parks are 'purpose-built'), full of grandiose metallic sculptures and broad vistas much beloved of surfboarders and roller skaters (I'm not 100% certain of the vocabulary here as maybe one of these activities is related to water rather than land?? I'm floundering as neither activity interests me in the slightest!) and whatever is fashionable in such circles these days.

Looking across from North Cliffs to Navrax Point. South West Peninsula Coast Path. This looks innocuous enough in fine weather. In rough seas it is an entirely different matter for shipping, hence the name! This happened here the previous year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMnbOlvx72k

Lower Market Street, Penryn. Now a sleepy backwater, Penryn was one of the major market towns of Cornwall in times gone by.

The Palace-monastery from the Herreria Woods, Abantos behind. The Capital of Much of the Known World, circa 1590.

Sorry about this HFF shot two days early but my plans are too fluid to know whether I'll be on-line on Friday or not! This was taken on April 25, 2016 as the town was preparing for it's bull feria..

The faint indentation in the grass is the fun path to follow!

I have walked this stretch of the Roman road many times these past 5 years and I always stop and give an apple to my friend here. My girlfriend brings a few carrots (although she wasn't present on this occasion). Horsey accepted the apple graciously enough but turned away as soon as he realised carrots weren't forthcoming!
