Encina (holm oak), Canchos Largo y Gordo. And granite, granite and more granite!
Look closely at the oak. It has been lopped. This is a 'managed' wild landscape! It is also my favourite walking country.

This looks innocuous enough in fine weather. In rough seas it is an entirely different matter for shipping, hence the name!

Granite cliffs, Cornwall.
It's a good fun scramble down to this point. Over many years I have seen a total of 3 fishermen down here and no-one else.

Fundraising is still going on. Apparently and, ultimately, IMA need at least $50,000 to continue Ipernity into 2018!

Some of you may remember, from Panoramio, this piece of land belonging to my girlfriend. She is still trying to sell it, if anyone is interested!

The 'Pepperpot' at top right was the huer's look out. A huer had the responsibility of calling (hueing) the first sighting of the pilchard shoal. When that happened, the whole town swung into very serious action!
The jetty and round stone hut on the left, having withstood many severe storms, finally succumbed to a huge storm the following year. And rebuilt extremely quickly. When I re-visited in 2014, it was as if nothing had been destroyed! I was impressed!

My final comment on what Google did to Panoramio!

Chun Quoit

Andy Rodker has posted:

Chun Quoit (quoit = Cornish for dolmen). Although small, it is the best preserved quoit in Cornwall. All the others have dislodged capstones or some other disturbance. These are presumed to be burial chambers but no burial remains have ever been found. They were all originally buried under a mound of stones and earth but erosion in the harsh environment of West Penwith and the action of tomb robbers has meant that you can see the vestiges of the mound only at one quoit; here, at Chun. Estimated to be approx. 6,000 years old.
Sited in Morvah parish, West Penwith, Cornwall. Misspelt Quiot on Google maps!
