Photos for Pam - 100 + photos, mainly of Cornwall, because as Pam herself once told me; "That is where my heart is!"

Approaching the Wheal Gorland (former vast copper mine) area of St Day. The storm broke 5 minutes later just as I reached home!

Portreath Outer Harbour, Cornwall

The former Wheal Pink copper mine was located exactly here. No one would believe it today unless they knew! St Day, Cornwall. Marginally better on large.

It's good that I can now walk this path in daylight after a few months of dark and dismal light for any shot! Better perhaps on large and then on large again, to follow the path into the light at the end of the tunnel!!

In other words my occasional walk to the pub for my swift half and then a quick return to cook supper!

Rather different weather from my last visit! A bit puzzled by the lack of boats!

The weather has warmed up sufficiently for the horse to be undressed for the first time since autumn! Perhaps on large to do horse justice! Sight and Sound: More Janis and I think my favourite song of hers and a genuine reactor not messing up a performance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=azWUxxgN_Yc

Portreath inner harbour.

Portreath Outer Harbour on a wild day.

The coast at Bosigran Head. A good contrast with the previous upload I feel! This one works reasonably well on large (imho). Sight and Sound. A bit of Mozart; www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcZfJrIG0Y

Far newer than the others in this series / album. It wasn't there on my previous visit in 2015. The path from the road to Bosigran Head, Zennor Parish, Cornwall.

A cold couple of days predicted. Hope you don't mind more horsey shots. They do provide some interest and character imho! A field off Pink Moors, St Day, Cornwall. I also think that this gently undulating countryside retains some interest no matter what the weather (fog excepted of course!). Definitely better on large and then large again! Sight and Sound. A mellow song from War. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjL4iF2cN5M

Not somewhere I'd want to be shipwrecked! I suggest on large and on large again, if you know what I mean - to see the granite and sea detail here. And yes: there is a (somewhat perilous) way down to that beach! Sight and sound. Robert Palmer (RIP) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVTciOT1AwM

Between Penberth Cove and Porthcurno. There is a way down. On a much earlier visit I saw a couple of anglers scramble down and it looked easy enough so i did it on a later visit. Yes, easy but very few people had done it as there was no evidence of flora disturbance under foot. (I dare say they had more intelligent and safe things to be getting on with). Sight and Sound; This just amused me, www.youtube.com/watch?v=rksFGQ4-_JM Crikey! I remember this as though it were Yesterday.

From my (by now well-trod) path to the pub. No horses this time but there we are. On the blackthorn / hawthorn doubt, I do know from personal experience of many years of collecting sloes that hawthorn and blackthorn very rarely, if ever, grow in close proximity to each other and I wonder why. More Janis but a goodie, imho! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL80W8dQIsU

It's getting very green, as you would expect at this time of year. St Day, Cornwall.

Our equine friends once more. And with grass this lush, they should be as happy as a pig in ... I think on large then large again for a better image, imho! Sight and Sound. After the exciting World Snooker Championship just now, I thought this clip might amuse! www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_F214y7vyU

It's granite scenery with evidence of very ancient fields and their walls, and more recent tin mining activity (although not so recent, really; the tin mine never really paid its way and closed down in the 1860s). Best on large and then large again for detail.
