This little island has been called 'General de Gaulle wallowing in his bath'

Carn Gloose, Saint Just, Cornwall.
Again this is the cloud that caused much excitement and front-page newspaper photos from nearby Land's End, and I have no idea why!

I read this in a book about Cornwall written in the 60s. I doubt too many people today would get the reference!

You missed a trick there, Pam. 'I am UNDER 55 and I get it!!' ... might have been good but perhaps your nose would have become as long as the General's!! :o)))))

Nice image Andy, I suspect the cloud interest is because we have had months of very dry weather and there are a lot of dried up rivers and ponds.

An interesting cloud and a beautiful image.

This is a nice tribute to Ms. Franklin and such a good song. The video had some great photos of her.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Many thanks, Karen. I wanted to add the song but none of my photos really did it justice so I attached it here almost at random!

Hi Andy

Great picture of a fat man with a big nose lying in his bath!
As for the General, I don't remember what he looked like. Perhaps being over the age of 55 makes you 'forgetful'!
Sorry for lack of contact recently, I've been away on hols.

Best wishes
Peter

A breathtaking scene very well photographed indeed, Andy. Love the cloud formation and the light on the water. A fitting tribute to Aretha Franklin.

Rest in Peace, Aretha.
