Thanks: Gave 1,143, Got 1,013 | Some from last week - Cornwall
Just got back from a week in Cornwall where we stopped in St. Ives and managed to get about a bit with the camera in hand. We went to some simply stunning places, particularly Botallack which was just an incredibly photogenic place to be. We had amazing weather with not one spot of rain until we got in the car to come back earlier today. St. Ives The Lighthouse at the end of Smeatons Pier Window Botallack Mine House
More to come from here...........just incredible!!! Waterfall Red, Yellow, White Tin Mine Shaft
As always, I have made each image a clickable link to the Flickr photo page where much larger sizes and .exif can be found.
Lots more images to come tomorrow (there are already more on my Flickr stream), and any comments welcome.

That first one is a beauty love St Ives so many photo opportunities there. Look forward to seeing some more.

Looking forward to more of the mine pictures. There's something about abandoned industrial installations that is really dramatic. B&W conversions awaited |

I really like the red,yellow & white pic the best.
the sharpness of the picture does justice to the person who did such a neat job of painting, a photo opportunity that was well spotted |
