Album 900 - 999 photos from Andy Rodker

Sierra de La Cabrera (one of the many rock climbing faces)

One of the ascent / descent routes to or from the ridge of La Sierra de La Cabrera. I took the shot from the path (steep, admittedly but neither exposed nor dangerous!), not the cliff face.
However, I don't expect micritter to believe me! :o)

Still in love after all these millennia!

This hasn't been posted before. There were 2 or 3 posted on Pano and one here from the same sunrise, but all at different stages.

Whether it's a Shetland pony as all the notices say, or not, has been discussed at length on Panoramio. I still don't know!. I can't get local people to confirm either. People say it is too big to be a Shetland. I should put this question on Rene's new group! Perhaps I will!

Saint Day. Dull day.

Not all Cornish photos can be full of exciting clifftops, dramatic skies or sunny days.

Crane Islands.

North Cliffs, Cornwall.
This shot is taken from the ramparts of Crane Castle, or what is left of this Iron Age hill fort. The flowering bank in the foreground leads up to the top of the landward defensive rampart; nearly all of the fort is now under the sea and would have occupied the now disappeared land between this position and the island ahead.

Porthcadjack at low tide.

Asparagus and Samphire Islands from Carvannel Downs, Cornwall. My girlfriend was bowled over by this view and didn't want to leave!
(She had only ever seen it it on cloudy / misty days before - what a difference a bit of sun makes in Cornwall!).
I know where it is, but can any of you spot St Ives here?

Even the out of bounds and long decommissioned nuclear research station of Nancekuke seen on the horizon at far right can't much detract from the scene.

Amazingly, my first walk in the Sierra de La Cabrera since December 2015!
And it hasn't changed a bit!

One of the joys of teaching Business English is the early start of a morning! Top executives want to have their classes between 7 and 8:30. I do sometimes get to see sunrises in compensation!

Of course we did have ropes and safety equipment but I was obviously being stupid for the camera!

View from my (very occasional) bedroom window, early one morning. Looking over Poldice valley.

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!!!

Sorry about this HFF shot two days early but my plans are too fluid to know whether I'll be on-line on Friday or not!
This was taken on April 25, 2016 as the town was preparing for it's bull feria..

Crane Castle was an Iron Age (possibly older) clifftop fort and settlement. It has fallen into the sea over the centuries and I am standing on what would have been the landward battlements. Maybe another 200 years before it falls away completely?
