Try as I might, I just couln't get a shot of these two horses together!

Another fine fellow I come across on my walk to the pub! Sight and sound: this amused me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz-AuBcmASA

Possibly the last of my low-light shots. The weather is slowly getting more Spring-like and I shall be back in Spain next month anyway. Sight and sound. Janis again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfK0tChiWQ4

View down to Pink Moors from my path to the pub! Perhaps better on large for view of handsome horse!

Saint Day, Cornwall. The steeple of the old, disused and now collapsed parish church can be seen on the horizon. In the period 1770 to 1850 this view would have been one of utter devastation and industry with mining for tin, copper and arsenic all happening here. It was called the 'richest square mile in the world'. Then it all suddenly stopped as cheaper labour and mining costs for these minerals were found in South East Asia amongst other places (slave labour in the main). Nothing remains of this previous hive of activity, I'm pleased to say..

Lane near Little Beside, Saint Day, Cornwall

The town of Saint Day is on the skyline. My parents live here. This is a tranquil scene. But in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, this would have been hell on earth. It was the mining capital of the world for tin, copper, and arsenic.

I have walked this stretch of the Roman road many times these past 5 years and I always stop and give an apple to my friend here. My girlfriend brings a few carrots (although she wasn't present on this occasion). Horsey accepted the apple graciously enough but turned away as soon as he realised carrots weren't forthcoming!

Happy Fence Friday!! From the Eastern slopes of Carn Marth looking south in the direction of Penryn and Falmouth, Cornwall
