Godrevy, for Pam.

Photos for Pam - 100 + photos, mainly of Cornwall, because as Pam herself once told me; "That is where my heart is!"

In support of Pam J in her recovery programmes and a sincere wish for a quick and total return to normality!

In the distance, the Sierra de Guadarrama is shrouded in haze and cloud. The sun had just gone in when I took this shot and that fact has helped mute the stridency of the red.

A typical rock pool. And as there was no one about, I did strip off and get in, it being a very hot day. A real pleasure!

It's my name for this rock as it looks like the crown of the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt (I think) before unification. Anyway ... be that as it may, typical granite scenery of these parts.

The only thing missing here is a lovely Cornish pub! However, if you are thirsty enough to undergo a 25 minute trudge uphill, you can reward yourself with an energy re-charging and refreshing pint of bitter at The Logan Rock pub in Treen.

Seen (just about) at bottom left. I think most of it is in the much later wall! Zarzarlejo, El Escorial, Sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid Province. Granite country.

I remember this as an exceptionally hot September day. As hot as any day I had spent walking here in June and July that year (August I was in Cornwall). Sierra de La Cabrera - granite country, and then some!

You can just about trace this tiny mountain stream doing its darndest in full spate zig-zagging its way across this shot. Sierra de La Cabrera at the Valdemanco end.
