Tubby's Head, Cornwall.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=18620H_z8Uk I like listening to Chopin and looking at the sea at the same time!

Basset Cove.

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.

Another choppy sea shot at Portreath.

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

From Bosigran Head, into the sun.

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

CORNISH ROCK POOL FOR PAM!

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

Granite scenery - Bosigran Head

Andy Rodker has posted:

Typical of the granite coastal areas in Cornwall. This was a surprisingly warm and sunny March day. I only came here on a whim and couldn't have been luckier with the weather. Both before and after had seen weeks of dreary grey skies.

HFF everyone!

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!

HANWE everyone! Cornish granite

Andy Rodker has posted:

Between Penberth Cove and Porthcurno. There is a way down. On a much earlier visit I saw a couple of anglers scramble down and it looked easy enough so i did it on a later visit. Yes, easy but very few people had done it as there was no evidence of flora disturbance under foot. (I dare say they had more intelligent and safe things to be getting on with).
Sight and Sound; This just amused me, www.youtube.com/watch?v=rksFGQ4-_JM
Crikey! I remember this as though it were Yesterday.

Bosigran Head, Cornwall

Not somewhere I'd want to be shipwrecked!
I suggest on large and on large again, if you know what I mean - to see the granite and sea detail here.
And yes: there is a (somewhat perilous) way down to that beach!
Sight and sound. Robert Palmer (RIP) www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVTciOT1AwM

Another Cornish granite stile.

Far newer than the others in this series / album. It wasn't there on my previous visit in 2015. The path from the road to Bosigran Head, Zennor Parish, Cornwall.

Cornish Coast 2. Serene

Andy Rodker has posted:

The coast at Bosigran Head. A good contrast with the previous upload I feel!
This one works reasonably well on large (imho).
Sight and Sound. A bit of Mozart; www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcZfJrIG0Y

Cornish Coast 1. Angry!

Portreath inner harbour.

Basset Monument, Carn Brea.

nobody@ipernity.com (Andy Rodker) — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 22:02:43 +0000

Andy Rodker has posted:

Monument erected in 1836 in memory of Francis Basset, First Baron de Dunstaville, an influential mine owner. Paid for by public subscription by legions of grateful miners (or so they say - I have my doubts that ANY mine owner would have been that beloved by his serfs / minions / slaves!).
Perhaps marginally better on large for stonework detail.

Portreath Inner Harbour.

Rather different weather from my last visit! A bit puzzled by the lack of boats!

Carn Brea

nobody@ipernity.com (Andy Rodker) — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 21:54:03 +0000

Andy Rodker has posted:

The castle at Carn Brea with the sea at Porthtowan in the distance. The castle was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge and has been a restaurant for at least the past 30 years. The same owners but has been closed for some years on and off. Currently open and it seems to offer a sort of French / Indian fusion. I'll look at reviews.
OK here goes: www.google.es/search?q=carn+brea+restaurant&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwim49Tt7Z3-AhVTQ0EAHUT9CU8Q7xYoAHoECAkQAQ&biw=1252&bih=556&dpr=1.09)
Sight and sound: A favourite Beethoven piano sonata, expertly analysed by Andras Schiff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk-iqxqixhY&t=255s

Stormy sea

Bosigran Head, sea-cliff climbing, nursery slopes.

Andy Rodker has posted:

Looking away from the sea and towards Carn Galva. The slopes here are gentle ones - great for beginners. Better on large for greater detail of the granite and this landscape.
This is looking the other direction: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/51829324

Bosigran Head to Gurnard's Head

HANWE everyone! I see the Ukranian flag colouring in here!

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