The sculpture: "A LA DIVERSIDAD HUMANA" Sculpture by Josep Capella and Clara Capo. I have Steve Drury to thank for finding the title from my Pano gallery when I thought Google had erased all notes and comments!

The tin mines extended far under the sea. St Agnes' Heritage Coast, Cornwall.

My girlfriend is never to see this (although she ought to be secretly proud of it!)!!! Hoyo de Manzanares, November 2012.

The notorious (for shipping anyway) Hell's Mouth is tucked in the cliffs in the middle distance. Fundraising is still going on. Apparently and, ultimately, IMA need at least 50.000 $ to continue Ipernity into 2018! www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity

Only the fence posts survive but it'll do for me! Gurnard's Head, Zennor, Cornwall. With montbretia. The South West Peninsula Coast Path.

HFF to all my ipernity and IMA friends. There is a fence in there somewhere; the horse has got it (almost) covered!

Segovia province, September 2013

Spring revisited no 7. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Chun Quoit (quoit = Cornish for dolmen). Although small, it is the best preserved quoit in Cornwall. All the others have dislodged capstones or some other disturbance. These are presumed to be burial chambers but no burial remains have ever been found. They were all originally buried under a mound of stones and earth but erosion in the harsh environment of West Penwith and the action of tomb robbers has meant that you can see the vestiges of the mound only at one quoit; here, at Chun. Estimated to be approx. 6,000 years old. Sited in Morvah parish, West Penwith, Cornwall. Misspelt Quiot on Google maps! Photo; July 20, 2012.

The 'Pepperpot' at top right was the huer's look out. A huer had the responsibility of calling (hueing) the first sighting of the pilchard shoal. When that happened, the whole town swung into very serious action! The jetty and round stone hut on the left, having withstood many severe storms, finally succumbed to a huge storm the following year. And rebuilt extremely quickly. When I re-visited in 2014, it was as if nothing had been destroyed! I was impressed!

Granite cliffs, Cornwall. It's a good fun scramble down to this point. Over many years I have seen a total of 3 fishermen down here and no-one else. Fundraising is still going on. Apparently and, ultimately, IMA need at least $50,000 to continue Ipernity into 2018! www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity

Some of you may remember, from Panoramio, this piece of land belonging to my girlfriend. She is still trying to sell it, if anyone is interested! In the foreground; Spanish lavender.

aNNa Schramm solved the puzzle as to what tree these catkins come from. They are the male catkins of the Populus Tremula (Lt), European Aspen (Eng), Zitterpappel (Gm), Peuplier tremble (Fr) or Alamo (Sp). Thank you aNNa! Taken March 2013, first posted on ipernity 2016. Valdemorillo, Madrid Province.

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

The cliffs and the sea are one foot behind me.

Rock hopping here at low tide is not really an option - with all this seaweed about!

I know it's VERY early (I will be away for a couple of days) and also it's not exactly a fence, but it will have to do! Stone field borders are called hedges in Cornwall.

Tucked away between Porthcurno and Lamorna. Perhaps best on large.
