With no more rain (and it isn't forecast), this little stream will dry up within the week.

You can't walk between the two at sea level; even at low tide. You have to ascend the cliff, move along the coast path and descend by a steep scramble to the end of St Agnes Head. The whole thing takes over 30 minutes and yet it is within spitting distance. Perhaps best to swim!
Rock pool, enormous cave, no tourists, a gorgeous day, low tide, calm sea and WARM! What more could anyone want! H. A. N. W. E. everyone! For Pam of course!

Porthcadjack, Cornwall. Sight and Sound. A Paul Tortellier masterclass in the original French. Paul Tortellier: A musical genius no doubt but also the best proselytiser of classical musical I have ever heard. Sheer passion, allied to musicological insight, sound didactic methodology, rationality, humanity and humour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTPls_aozMw

I'm unsure about the brightly coloured stones. This area (Porthtowan) was heavily mined for many years and for a number of minerals and I assume that these are the ores of some of them.

No tourists here; only a few locals (and me!) who know the (hidden / secret) paths.

I think one of my favourite rock pool shots because of the colours and very gentle ripples. As Peggy advises, best on black and full screen .
