Between Porthcadjack and Basset Cove

A horrible day, weatherwise but later it turned out absolutely gloriously. In England (and more specifically Cornwall) "you don't get climate, you get weather"
This is part of a shoreline walk / scramble / rock hop I have done many times and enjoy immensely.
Miranda del Castanar
There's a fence in there somewhere!

HFF!
Castle at Manzanares el Real, Madrid Province.
El Yelmo, A prominent peak in the Sierra de La Pedriza, is visible in the background.
Mutton Cove, Reskajeage, Cornwall

Often a beaching place for seals, and lots of them, but not at this hour, or this day.
On the Godrevy / Hell's Mouth stretch of coast path and very popular with walkers and families (there is a huge car park, sadly - and a huge sandy beach behind me).
HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY
HFF! PLEASE STAY, DON'T RUN AWAY!!!

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall.
High tide (at low tide, this is on one of my favourite shoreline rock-hopping 'walks'!).
The South West Peninsula Coast Path once followed the line of the fence. Now it has to veer sharply inland due to severe coastal erosion.
Which way?
Polished.

Accidental shot on the Madrid metro. But I was pleased that I had polished my shoes that morning!
It's like your Mum making sure you always had clean underwear on 'because, you never know, you might be hit by a bus'!!!!

... or Huer's Lookout, Portreath, Cornwall.
The Huer had to look out for the coming of the pilchard shoal; when seen, the town would galvanise into frenetic but well-practiced action! The nightmare scenario was if it was missed because it passed by in the night! In which case somewhere else in Wales or Ireland benefited.

Another fine sunrise to wake up to. I was fortunate for a few months as there were many such sunrises (Late 2012, early 2013).
HFF everyone!

Granite and fog.
La Sierra de La Cabrera. Climbing through the fog, not knowing if the peaks would poke out from under, was interesting. Much better was when I eventually did break through!
Later that day I watched the weather news and it seems that the sea of fog stretched over the whole of the central Iberian Peninsula; an unusual phenomenum!.
HFF, everyone! Happy horse browsing among the blac…

The town of Saint Day is on the skyline. My parents live here.
This is a tranquil scene.
But in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, this would have been hell on earth. It was the mining capital of the world for tin, copper, and arsenic.
Another shot of the best positioned tomb ever!

Prehistoric and brilliant. Unfortunately there are no contents now - tomb robbers very soon after and wild weather down the centuries cleaned this out but still ... What a terrific site for a tomb! Obviously someone much loved (or feared?)

If you were not 100% catholic, in the days of the reconquista and after, it made sense to declare your undying adherence to the True Faith of the Winning Side by such means as these biblical extracts over your door!
HFF everyone!

Horses on Carn Marth. This is inland Cornwall but you can just about make out the sea at or near Falmouth.

She wouldn't then. She doesn't now. I respect that. Of course. It doesn't matter that I don't understand it. 5 years on and I have accepted it!
