Andy Rodker's photos

This is pleasing artwork to me and makes worthwhile use of material which would otherwise have been discarded.

Sadly, these wall murals were whitewashed over last year. Photo taken in May 2013, not in 2012 as per the exif!

Dawn, August 2014. St Day, Cornwall. Well, it's still my bedroom window even if I haven't spent more than 10 nights here in the past 5 years! The building in front is the annexe to my parents house. It comprises a good sized ground floor kitchen and on the upper floor bedrooms and a bathroom. This annexe used to be a temporary bedding down place for tin miners who had worked a late shift; the property being in the possession of a tin mine captain. Poldice Valley seen in the distance and with a chimney just visible, was a world centre of arsenic mining and production. Even today, 150 years later , nothing grows there and certainly no houses can be be built on the poisoned land. The life expectancy of the miners was horrendous! Not all Cornwall is romantic!!!

Wall built during the reign of Felipe V, in the early 17th century, mainly for duty/tax purposes rather than defense.

El Cancho Largo, El Cancho Gordo and Convento Monasterio de San Julian y San Antonio. Granite. Winter sun.

An attractive town to the south of Madrid, overlooked by tourists, which makes it a pleasant place to visit for those in the know!

Rosa Daniel Gelin. I discovered, some time after posting this, that Daniel Gelin was a well-known French actor who died in the early 90s.

Looking down the steps from Dead Men's Hut. Another very early HFF but it's because I don't know where I'll be tonight or tomorrow!! PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! THANK YOU!

Porthcadjack, Portreath, Cornwall. August 01, 2012. High summer - and a filthy day! I'm sure most of you have (not all as I know a few are against) but, if not, PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY VERY SOON. Z please.

An interesting town, for many reasons. Well worth a visit. I'm sure most of you have (not all as I know a few are against) but, if not, PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY VERY SOON.

Tenacity is a requirement for all plant life here, struggling against the fierce Atlantic storms.

My Mother's garden has fences. A good source for HFF photos! Photo taken in August 2012, the exif is wrong!

Monasterio de San Antonio below Canchos Largo and Gordo.

La Bola del Mundo in the Sierra de Guadarrama from El Pardo, northwest of Madrid. This mountain was thought at one time by the residents of Madrid to be the highest mountain in the world! It isn't even the tallest mountain in the Sierra de Guadarrama! (Z please!). Photo taken in May 2013, regardless of the exif date!

St Ives, Cornwall. August 2015, Low tide. PLEASE STAY, DON'T RUN AWAY (ESPECIALLY NOW)!!!

Taken with my short-lived Samsung. It self-destructed 2 months after I bought it. The company said 'water damage' which wasn't true. But I got nowhere with them so I vowed to have nothing to do with Samsung ever again. Poor PR in my book!

Happy Fence Friday!! From the Eastern slopes of Carn Marth looking south in the direction of Penryn and Falmouth, Cornwall
