🎵Here Comes the Sun🎵
Probably the last one from Crown Mines, Botallack, Cornwall, UK - certainly for a while.
I gather George Harrison came up with the seed of 'Here Comes the Sun' when he bunked off a meeting with Apple and went instead to see his mate Eric Clapton. Sitting in the garden he reflected that Apple was a bit like school with 'sign this, sign that' and he felt liberated in not having to go and see a load of "dopey accountants".

Now despite me not having any musical aptitude (beyond knowing what I like to listen to) the general sentiment strikes a real cord with me. When you have had 20+ years of 'experts' telling you how they could repair roads a hell of a lot better than we do and how they are now driving on third world roads and why can't the road gullies cope with a monsoon ....well lets just say the idea of bunking off has a great attraction. So George, it may be 54 years later but I (and probably a vast number of people out there) can totally understand where you were coming from!
Slightly different composition taken nearer the 'Ledge of Doom' . I'd have liked to get separation between that rock the other side of the ledge and the bit where the coast joins the sea near the mines but there was a family settled in for the sunset just out of frame and I did not feel confident I could clone them out and too many of them to act as a 'scale'. I decided to just shoot what I could as by this time I could see the colours/light would be very nice and wasn't going to be too fussy.
This one is obviously taken a just before sunset when there was the light on the Crown Mines and the water. it's a set of 2 lots of 3 brackets - one for the foreground and one for the mines.
Some of you will know I've a workshop in Iceland coming up in October which is coming up quickly now. I need to get on and do some research and fine tuning as I feel obligated to try to shoot enough 'good' shots in my 5 days there to make Dom Haughton jealous. Between that prep. and my work I have to apologise again for being sporadic with comments on your photos and my postings/replies. I will try to do batches of comments but if I miss commenting on some of your photos please excuse me.
