With a storm front coming through along with high tide I made my way to Botallack Mines, hoping for the perfect wave... 30 minutes of standing in furious winds and rain! It was actually easier walking UP the hill back to the car with the wind behind me than making my way down earlier fighting against the wind.

Ja is denn heut scho #FootpathFriday? Na gut, da hab ich echt mehr als genug Bilder. Hier eins aus #Cornwall, ist ja schließlich auch #MeerMittwoch! Das sind Überreste der #Botallack #Mine, die da über dem #Atlantik thronen. Genauer gesagt die Engine Houses der Crown Mines. Abgebaut wurden hier bis 1895 Zinn, Kupfer und Arsen. // But it isn't #FootpathFriday yet! Oh well, I have more than enough photos of footpaths and #hiking #trails. Here's one from Cornwall, because it's #SeaWednesday too! These are some of the ruins of the #BotallackMine, the Crown #Mines engine houses, to be exact. The mines produced tin, copper, and arsenic until 1895.

A nice evening last night at Botallack. What an ewe inspiring view this is. #botallack #stjust #nationaltrust #photography #cornwall #photography #landscape #seascape

We visited one of my favourite places again today, the disused tin mines at #Botallack in #Cornwall
Just how anyone could work in such a precarious location is beyond me. Its such a beautiful place but I'd be terrified of going into those mines, it must have been a very dangerous way to earn a living.
I didn't see any #Choughs which was a shame as I've spotted them here before, they're still a reasonably rare sight. We certainly don't have any on the Isle of Wight.
