La Sierra de La Cabrera

Where I had planned to walk today and catch the last of the spring flowers. But today was just about the wettest June day on record so I ventured nowhere near! But I hope to get up there fairly soon, and before the relentless summer heat kicks in, which it will do in a week or two! This shot was a taken at midsummer but here, high up, it is still showing Spring wildflowers so I still have some hope!

I know I'm back in Spain but I just can't help myself!

Typical floral clifftop - Northcliffs, Cornwall.
This stretch of clifftop has long since fallen away into the deep blue and the coast path goes some considerable way inland now.

Granite scenery - Bosigran Head

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.

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.

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

HFF! (1st of 2 today)

On the footpath from St Day to Carharrack, known as School Hill as it is used by the Carharrack children who have to attend the school in St Day and have a fairly stiff upward walk to do so! Good exercise I suppose.

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

The gorse is well and truly out this week.
Two granite blocks (undoubtedly from old mine works, not from prehistoric stone circles!) and the right hand boulder is interesting but I'm not sure what it is, Does anyone know? (Marije, perhaps).
Sight and Sound. Maybe I've linked this before. If so, apologies but I like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZmeFGmiQDI&list=RDDZmeFGmiQDI&start_radio=1
Add on, Steve has given as good an explanation as can be - please see below.

At least the gorse is coming into its own!

Another staggeringly DUUUUULL day, but my walk to the pub (and watch England being trounced by France at home) is at least brightened by all the gorse bushes coming out. It seems to work OK on large.
Sight and sound. An enjoyable Robert Palmer song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyNa-ReeZc8&list=RDlyNa-ReeZc8&start_radio=1

Carnon Viaduct. HFF Everyone!

I dropped my mum off at her hair appointment in Point Mills just up the road and went for a little stroll. I used to walk here as part of my walk from St Day to the southern coast at or near Devoran then go back using this path to the northern coast near Portreath, then back to St Day, In all it took me 10 hours. But I didn't have a camera or smart phone then.
The fence is new. Belatedly they realised that the old arsenic mines were still contaminating the streams and rain water run-offs so what was a good old bycicle route, much used by families, became blocked off. Probably just as well!
The viaduct carries the branch line from Truro to Falmouth. The stumps represent the old viaduct, I haven't looked up the details of this but will let you know if I do! (Don't hold your breath!)
I wanted to get a shot of a train but had to go and pick my Mum up!

Another evening shot at the coast

On a good sunny summer's day on the Southwest Peninsular coast path, Northcliffs above Greenbank Cove.
Another strip of coast that fell into the sea a few years ago.
I know I posted this before possibly more than once, but I long long ago ran out of fresh Cornwall photos.

Granite, broom, gorse and lavender.

La Sierra de La Cabrera - fabulous walking country.
Midsummer; but in reality late spring in the mountains.

HFF! (a tricky shot, almost directly into the sun!)
