Superbe compo **

Wonderful color and beautiful perspective, Andy.

Wonderful patchwork of colours, building a stone lookout shelter shows how vital to their survival the fish were

True, Peter, especially after the collapse of the tin mining industry in the 1860s. Together with Charleston, near St Austell, Portreath was the main port for the import of the coal that was fundamental for the functioning of the Cornish engine houses (tin, copper, arsenic, etc.)
Unfortunately, the pilchard shoals suddenly declined too (over-fishing? climate change? who knows?). Portreath then declined rapidly, as did much of Cornwall.
Apart from tourism, which is only selectively beneficial, Cornwall relies massively on EU help. And it voted overwhelmingly for Brexit.
Go figure!

Excellent shot...beautiful colours! Admired in:

How glorious this is Andy. Such a beautiful view and a perfectly composed shot. Nice to see blues skies too!

I know how you feel, Carol. Madrid has just gone from 'Winter? What Winter?' to white out and minus lots! today! And I have a very busy timetable this week that musn't in any way be disturbed by 1) my cold, 2) the weather stopping my students attending class, and 3) my being unable to take classes. I am paid by the hour taught. It is the way here! :o(

John,
Carol,
Thank you both!

what a contradiction in itself
Cornwall relies massively on EU help. And it voted overwhelmingly for Brexit.
oh,oh,oh
I've never known before... ;-((
and it is very interesting that the sardines (pilchards) there were so many swarms.

One of the bitterest ironies of the referendum result is that the people who voted 'leave' are, in the main, the ones who will suffer most. I have strong feelings about this and don't want to get started on a rant here!
As to the pilchards: They suddenly declined around the turn of the last century; no one really knows why. They are still caught, but in tiny numbers compared to then. The Cornish tourist authority decided, in their wisdom, to re-brand them (about 20 years ago, or so) as 'Cornish sardines', probably thinking that 'pilchard' had connotations as a fish for the poor and that sardines had connotations of a Mediterranean beach barbecue, or something like that! A mistake in my opinion, but what do I know??

Outstanding shot!

So beautiful !

love this cliffs

Lovely scene! The wild flowers really add beauty.

Preciosa costa llena de brezales, muy parecido a lo que tenemos en el País Vasco.

I'm sure you're right. I haven't been there yet. Cantabria, yes but not Pais Vasco. So many places to see! So little time! so little money! So much aspiration!

Thank you, Katja!

incredible composition andy / best wishes and my greetings / yves

I appreciate your YS, Yves!

The glorious beauty of Cornwall !!!
such a gorgeous catch and composition, Andy!
Unfortunately never been there even though I would have always loved to, above all when had the opportunity being in England so many times.. what's more, as a teen-ager I was so deeply attracted by the Breton Cycle or..Daphne due Maurier 's novels :-o) that I've been always thinking of it as a fairy land. And it is , in spite of all.
Thank you so much for your very interesting pieces of information about what I was so completely ignoranT!! This a start for me to deepen my historical, cultural and social awareness(not only being based on.. novels!!:-D) before taking my trip to Cornwall!! 'ìll go there!!
Fingers crossed !!
Sorry for my so long-winded comment.:-)
All the best-Bea

You are right Bea ... a world of difference between the fantasy world (Daphne de Maurier, Rosamunde Pilcher, etc) and the reality for over 9/10ths of the population, who have always been extremely poor. One of the most deprived areas of the UK. Often the way; beauty in the countryside and coast but much poverty as well.
You can't eat scenery!
But pleased you like this photo!
Best wishes,
Andy

Vraiment de jolies couleurs Andy ; j'aime !
belle soirée !

Thank you very much, Lucette!

Thank you, Bill!

I don't know why I missed this beauty !!!

Thank you nora! I do it all the time! It's because some people upload their photos TWICE, about 12 hours apart. So when I come back to view members photos I think , 'Ah yes! I remember seeing this one before, so I don't have to go further back'. And then I miss 12 hours worth of members' uploads! :o(
It does irritate me because I think why are they so special that we have to view their shots twice as often as they view ours! It seems arrogant to me!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful picture.
