Thanks, Mark. I'll dig out some more as there has been such a favourable reaction. More to come tomorrow also
First one - Sunset over Penzance.
Second one - an old Arsenic stack at Botallack Mine. About 100,000 tons of arsenic were produced here at the turn of the 19th century. Some was used during WW1, the rest was dumped on the US Cotton Fields as an insecticide.
Third picture - a thorny plant, known as Gorse, that abounds in these parts. The flowers have a strong smell of coconut - a bit like Hawaiian tropic. During the Spring, its great to be riding the TBA amongst (but not in!) the Gorse. As far as I know, it is the only plant in the UK that burns fiercely when green. It is represented by the yellow colour on all Cornish tartans.
