A lot of sliding to tryand get a high key image. The original was quite dark as it was after sunset and not much light. Saw these surfers begin their long walk back up the hill to the car park. HSS!

A very stormy day at the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. I could hardly stand up so had to be careful to try and get out of the wind to take photos! Converted to mono for Mono Thursday.
Many thanks for any comments/favs - I am off Aurora hunting later on so may be off Flickr for a couple of days so will catch up with you all soon!

I find tin mines fascinating - it is amazing how close they are built to the edge of cliff tops so Botallack was top of my must visit places. I have seen some fabulous shots taken from there but the day we went it was horrible - drizzle and murk all day. I had to take a shot though and this is the best I could get. It did make me think of the awful conditions the miners must have worked in. They definitely would not have had lovely warm sunny days! Botallack produced roughly 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper and 1,500 tonnes of refined arsenic. A staggering 1.5 million tonnes of waste would have been dumped into the sea and dyed it a distinctive red colour. The buildings are the remains of the engine house and mine and on 24th July 1865 the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall visited the Crowns - hence their name. The mine workings went 1/2 mile under the seabed!
