Camp Cameron, Saint Agnes, for Pam.

Camp Cameron, Saint Agnes, for Pam.
Half accident (in that it was horriblly unfocused), and half rescued in editing to make it tolerable.
I eventually decided I liked the slightly hazy effect so here it is, after 18 months of dilly-dallying (or is it shilly-shallying?)!
Shasta daisies and montbretia and a yellow interloper (teasel?)
Camp Cameron: the US army's camp in WWII for their coloured personnel, it being thought best to keep them out of the way in isolation form the Brits in case they should frighten the horses (or something). As I've mentioned before; boxer Joe Louis was stationed here for what he recalled as the most boring time of his life. There is absolutely NOTHING left of this camp. When fully operational it covered most of the St Agnes Headland.
For Pam.

What a fabulous place. What a great time of year to go too - all those amazing flowers. I think dilly dallying is the same as shilly-shallying so either will do, regardless we know what you mean!!! LOL. Joe Louis could have shadow boxed while he was there, he didn't have to feel bored!!!!

There is a very small, rusty plaque on a wall near the entrance to this place which I saw quite by chance and which led me to look it up, otherwise I wouldn't have known either!

It almost looks like snow in the thumbnail. Very pretty, Andy, like a painting.

Thank you Karen. That was the (inadvertant) effect I achieved after trying to correct its flaws in editing!
