September 4, 2007

I’m back in the US briefly so no new posts. Instead, I turn to the archive for photos taken in Septembers past, starting 16 years ago in September 2007. Some of the pictures that follow over the next week or so have never been shown here before, others are re-edited using newer tools and an evolved sense of how best to use them.

Indian Echo Cavern, Pennsylvania

I wonder if they will update what they call this place?

Some More North Berwick Beach

North Berwick, Scotland

Click on any of the pictures below to see them all enlarged (you may have to click the post title first if you’re seeing this in email or social media).

North Berwick: At the Beach

Here’s a first view of part of the town from the beach. We spent a few hours exploring and walking around. I took lots of pictures to try and capture the feeling of the place and there will no doubt be a certain repetitiveness to the pictures that follow in the next few posts. To see the pictures below full sized click on any of them (first clicking on the post title if you’re seeing this in email or on social media).

Predannack to the Lizard

Continuing on our way from Mullion we progressed from Predannack to Lizard. Here is a set of mostly unremarkable holiday snaps that hopefully conveys the beauty of the area and the riot of colours we encountered. (If viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger.)

Mullion Harbour

Our final day of the group walking tour (26th May) we started from Mullion Harbour, shown here, and walked past Predannack to the Lizard, the southernmost point in the country, before circling back to Mullion. The first picture shows the harbour from atop a nearby hill but we actually started from inside the walls and you can see the beautiful clear water in the 2nd shot (if viewing in email, click the post title to click into the images and see them larger). Then we climbed up and out and were on our way.

Close to Land’s End

In the distance of the first picture you can see some white buildings. That’s as close as we got to Land’s End, the most westerly point in the country. Somewhere along the way we passed a Bronze Age barrow cemetery but it wasn’t tremendously apparent where it began and ended. If you click to enlarge the picture of the beach (click the post title first if you’re seeing this in an email), you can see a couple of people down there to provide some sense of scale and distance. As we walked back from almost-Land’s End to Nanjizal we came upon the same herd of horses who again tried nibbling at my clothes (while one napped).
