i've been taking photos for over 20 years and most of the images on here are quick snaps from family trips out. I use mainly Canon kit, 550D or 450D with 10-22 lens. More of my photos can be found at my website: http://www.mykp.co.uk

i have a view of this before the library was built,see it on flickr.

At the end of the Newlyn end of Penzance Promenade, this memorial is to the fisherman who have lost their lives fishing this stretch of Cornish Coast

View across the bottom of Geevor Mine workings and across to Levant Mine

Home of the Penlee lifeboat which went to the aid of the Union star which had got into trouble off the Cornish coast on the 19th December 1981. Unfortunately that night the weather was foul and all souls on the lifeboat and the Union Star where lost.

The lifeboat station is maintained to this day as a memorial to those who gave their lives to rescue others. RIP

This stone Obelisk is situated close to the bottom of the geevor mine site, close to the coastal path between Botallack and Pendeen.

This is Tatar Du lighthouse which guards ships against the rocks called Inner and Outer Bucks. These two rocks can be seen at low water, where pivitol in sinking the 1868 the SS Garonne.

The lighthouse is the most recent lighthouse built in Cornwall.

The sky is trembling and the earth rests firmly. Extraordinary well taken. Greetings to my beloved Cornwall.

View the full size image to see why the title is so apt. This photo was taken close to the old mine buildings at Botallack, near St Just in Cornwall.

That view brings back memories, you know we used to ride down that hill (Cherwell avenue) when we where kids doing no hands all the way to the bottom!

Is the farm still owned by the Robinsons as is there still a pond over to the far right of where this picture was taken from?
