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

Portreath outer harbour on a benign day (just for a change!) And, yes, the Monkey Hut survived another storm (please see previous photos from about 6 weeks ago.) but a lot of repair work still needs doing!

'My' path to the pub again. Every time I pass here, it presents a different face. But Spring is at its peak now, so it's to be expected. Bluebells smothering the old retaining granite wall. A definite candidate for 'plants versus structures'?! And a composition I'm particularly pleased with.

I'll leave this one for you for now; I return to Spain first thing tomorrow morning. I have some more shots of this fave path of mine and will post them on and off together with new Spanish material. Felt like a bit of David Bowie; www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JahAw8IpNE&list=RD6JahAw8IpNE&start_radio=1 Sight and Sound

I had to leave before fully in flower.

I know she likes rock pools, especially Cornish ones! I hope this won't disappoint. I know it's hard to see any water here but in fact everything you see is covered by seawater; the light was so perfect and the air so still that you wouldn't know it was there! www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5jOJc851hQ I know the shot is Cornwall and the music vid is Spanish but what the hey!

My sister's shot in my Mums garden this week

My sister's shot as she's currently staying there for a bit.

Typical floral clifftop - Northcliffs, Cornwall. This stretch of clifftop has long since fallen away into the deep blue and the coast path goes some considerable way inland now.

One of many rock pool shots I took in the years 2011 - 2015. Low tide. Better on large.

I never know if these into the sun shots will ever work with my phone as I used to be able to have some control in my days of SLRs and filters. (but I'm talking 1970s and 80s here!) Sight and sound. Always liked the Winter brothers version of authentic blues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzhgmJtKNZw

My mother's garden. This time a summer shot for a change! Sight and sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTj1LpG2SM0 Another from War. I just like their version of blues and funk and soul.

An oldie and a winter shot. Bitterly cold. This shows much of the taller western end of the Sierra. I hope to return here before too long. Better on large for granite detail.

I have maybe a couple more to post in the fullness of time. The map puts me in the neighbouring parish of Fuente El Saz. I checked and they're right - by about 5 centimeters!

Algete garden. Sight and sound: An all time hero, Sixto Rodriguez: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W978zoLu1w HANWE Everyone!

Portreath outer harbour. Better on large and large again. Sight and Sound. Big Mama Thornton with 'Ball and Chain' made popular by Janice Joplin, but Big Mama wrote it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJlBo5KJ3b4

Cornish coast. The figures give the scale. The path down starts at the bottom of the photo, left hand corner and it's not for the faint hearted! So it's mercifully free of the summer hordes! Although surfers like it here and can swamp the place if the conditions suit them.

I was amazed when I saw the outline of a map of Spain through this rock window! OK, it's not a perfect outline but you couldn't get much better! La Sierra de La Cabrera and the Bustarviejo Valley.

Situated on a minor side road between St Day and Chacewater, I only re-discovered them when sent on a detour due to a road closure. I don't know their names. Perhaps worth viewing on large for detail of the stonework. Sight and Sound: I heard this aged 9 at the same time as Penny Lane and fell in love with them both and it was the first time I listened to popular music - I was having a classical musical training. Have ever since loved the 'best' of both! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDgqIyprGLM
