Oh, I love the 1980s quality of the colour. They can go either way, can’t they? Lots of mine are orange.
Sadly, a lot of mine have gone a weird magenta, loads of my North Wales ones, Perugia film was the worst, bleached out.
If only we’d known then… All the earlier b/w ones are just fine.
Yep
My thoughts exactly . . . something rather special about the colour in this
Thank you, Becky!
and realised I forgot to mention how fabulous the image is too 🙂
Aww!
Lovely angle down to the beach. Is this Jude’s friend? 🙂 🙂
No, up on the North Western coast of Cornwall!
Thought it didn’t look familiar 🙂 🙂 Not that I would get too familiar, you understand!
😳😄😄😄
If only Alice was so close to the sea as this one is!
Indeed
Yes, that would be too much of a good thing? 🙂 🙂
😄
And what are you doing out of bed at this time of day, madam? 🙂
Now who’s cheeky?
Well, it’s true, but I should apologise for using your home space to hurl abuse. 🙂 🙂
😄😄😄
Wonderful square Sue, did you remember you had it or have you been disappearing into your archives?
Archive hunting!
Think lots of people might be doing the same today, it hasn’t stopped raining here yet and I was up before 6!
Oh!
Love this – so wish I could be there now! Grear shot from the archives.
Thanks, Caryl!
I like to see old slides like this. No doubt Jude has some shots of this mine since she moved to Cornwall.
Best wishes, Pete.
I think she might know St Agnes, although that’s well north of where she lives
True.
Not that far from me, about a 20 minute drive on a good day. I think my last visit was in August. Time to go back when we can, I want to see if I can walk down to Trevaunance Cove. But I suspect it is too steep for me now.
Oh, its closer to you than I thought…. and Trevaunance Cove….a name from my childhood!
I like the colour wash Sue. Interesting building situation.
An old tin mine…
Where is Poldark?
In fiction…
Riding the cliffs behind the camera man (or on this case, woman 🙂 )
Great answer!!
Great composition, geometrically pleasing. I think the faded color adds to the image.
Thanks!
Looks like Wheal Cotes. I’ve stood in the same place to take a photo. 🙂
It is, indeed, Wheal Coates
Funny, I was trying to figure out how they maneuvered down that cliff to build before I realized that they built it from the ground up! Shows you the vertigo I had looking down in that photo.
Yes, here they had flat ground at the top, behind the mine, with reasonable access, not like those monasteries built on rich pinnacles!!
Those are probably what I was thinking of when I first saw your photo.
Aha!
Oh, that is taking us back in time, Sue. Back to our youth! Lovely square image
You went there?My first trip was in the early ‘70s, this image was taken on the last trip, mid ‘80s
No, I haven’t 😦 I just meant taking me back to the 1980s 🙂 🙂
Aaaah, I did wonder!
And I still have not managed to get there at such a low tide that I can walk out that far onto the sand to take a photo from the beach. This must have been an exceptionally low tide.
Presumably it was
Visited a few of these on our one trip to Cornwall, but not this one. Such an important piece of industrial heritage.
Indeed it is
Ah to be there now Sue 🙂
Lovely, I don’t suppose it has changed too much Lol
Probably not….
