Zennor parish from Carn Galva, and L to R the three hamlets / farms of Bosigran, Porthmeor and Treen (Gurnard's Head). The mist (sea fret or just fret around here), either comes at you very visibly in a white-out or creeps up on you unawares such as here.

Granite and coastal platform. Bosigran and Rosemergy Farm. Cornwall - West Penwith typicity. Below is Carn Galver engine house. Tin was mined here between approx 1850 and 70. Rather late - Cornish tin was already being out-competed on price from East Asia. It was the end of Cornish tin mining to any meaningful extent. Also, the stone walls seen mid-distance here ('fences' in Cornish dialect) are thought to be the oldest extant man-made stone constructions - still used for their original purpose - of any in the world, at up to 8,000 years old.
