The path up to Saint Day

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!!

Wheal Pink / Pink Moors

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.

HANWE Everyone!

The back of the house at dusk.

HFF!

Another attractive corner in St Day. Sight and Sound. Beethoven's Moonlight sonata - worth waiting for the explosive third movement here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4591dCHe_sE

One more (small) granite stile.

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

A fine sweep of Cornish coast.

Another ancient granite stile.

I tried this path to Treskerby today but it's definitely a welly walk. Will have to look for my old wellies! They're here somewhere!

HANWE everyone! I see the Ukranian flag colouring…

Bosigran Head: yellow gorse, grey granite and blue sea. Typical of Cornwall on this coast.

Ancient granite stile.

One of many such stiles on the old path between Vogue and Treskerby. I'll upload a few of them as and when. They often span a brooklet such as this as well as hedges (Cornish for stone walls!)

HFF!

Portreath outer harbour again. For me, this was a lot of fun and certainy blew some of the cobwebs away! Sight and Sound. I love this song by War with Eric Burdon; www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDNS3rtfD3I

Carn Galva (or Galver, the jury's still out) and p…

The Sea and Bosigran Cliffs are behind me. I'm looking inland towards Carn Galva. Please see notes.

Portreath Outer Harbour

We moved further up after the drenching! Also marginally better on large.

Bosigran Head - granite of course!

I remember doing this climb in 1978 but I forget its name or its grade (of difficulty, possibly a VS - very severe - actually not so technically demanding). It was nice to escape for a few hours today and re-visit an old stamping ground: Zennor. Shooting into the sun. Wasn't sure if it was going to work.

Mum's garden once more.

I've probably posted this before on ipernity but I didn't think many would object to a re-visit!

HANWE everyone! ( ... and this one's for Rosa who…

Outer Harbour, Portreath. This was great! I escaped for half an hour at the coast this evening and as it was very windy in St Day I thought conditions might be interesting on the coast. Serendipity it was't as I guessed this scene was a possibility. There are a few more shots from here to come.

HFF!

Vogue Hill, St Day and double-bubble fence!

More granite, this time clothed in lichen.

Man and His Man, Bawden Rocks (I'm sure he does - rude not to!), Cow and Calf. The three names used for that pair of rocks. St Agnes Head, Cornwall. Sight and Sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=50ciMZufh0Y I'd not heard this version before. It's superb. If you've got the patience, it's worth a listen.

St Agnes Head

I pair this with my previous upload simply due to the gorse cheering up these otherwise dull views!
