Carn Galver Mine. The name Carn Galver means rockpile at the lookout place. There is a small pumping and a whim engine house on the St Just - St Ives coastal road (B3306). The mine was worked until 1878. It was restored twenty ago by the National Trust. This mine was never really productive and suffered from drainage problems.
Carn Galver Mine appears to have operated 1851–59, and 1871–77, 1882, becoming in 1907 Bosigran Consols
Gurnard's Head copper mine was operating in the 1830's using a 20 inch wide water wheel. Porthmeor Valley - contains many mining remains, including water wheel pits and circular ore washing sites Carn Galver - near the hamlet of Rosemergy, was part of Morvah and Zennor United. It was a very wet mine, and the pump drew water from 780 feet down, with a second engine used to raise and crush the ore. It stopped working in 1878
1871 it employed seventy miners, with an adit 70 fathoms below the surface and a shaft sunk to 130 fathoms. The ore was crushed by a compound steam engine, fitted with two pneumatic stamps. The mine was pumped out by steam power.
In the top #3 of the Rome-bucketlist is the ancient city. That includes Palatine Hill, Roman Forum and the Colosseum. I am particularly intrigued by the extremely rich and often bloody history and will try to share some of it. But these are all classic tourist attractions. What local diamonds did you visit and should not be missed? #localgem (bij Colosseum)
No doubt! #TorresLatinoAmericana #tower offers an exceptional night view of the #Mexico City. You can easily spot heavy traffic on the roads, huge Christmas trees 🎄, and various museums across the city. #Amazingview.

February's #nationalconservationlands, BLM Winter Bucket List, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument in Arizona for Its Dark Sky Park Status
The Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument is a vast remote landscape where the only nighttime light comes from the stars. The International Dark Sky Association (IDA) recognized the unspoiled quality of its pristine and breathtaking night skies with an official IDA designation as “Parashant International Night Sky Province,” joining an elite group of other international Night Sky Places around the globe.
Twenty-two organizations throughout the southwestern United States supported the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument’s nomination for IDA’s “Dark Sky Park” status, including the scientific community. Its pristine “Gold Tier” night sky view creates prime research and discovery opportunities.
The scenery continues to impress during the day at this rugged corner of northern Arizona, with views stretching from the lower portion of the Grand Canyon to the pine clad peaks of Mount Trumbull and Mount Logan Wilderness Areas. Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument is jointly managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service.

There’s nothing quite as spectacular as seeing a 200,000 pound southern righthand whale fly into air so effortlessly, exposing its whole body.
It was pure magic to see this just a few meters away from me!
Have you been whale watching before?

I am in the process of replacing a few items on my Lifetime Dreams list, and one of the new bucket list items is to spend time at 100 waterfalls.
I have discovered the beautiful and enchanting experience of not just seeing a waterfall, but sitting next to it, hiking in and around it- feeling the breath it pours out. So I don't want to just go see 100 waterfalls... I want to go experience 100 waterfalls (two on the completed list so far!).

Year Fifteen Of My 365 Project
On my bucketlist was this favourite spot of mine where a very good friend of mine Aline van Weert showed and produced some awesome shots with these fisherman nets. But it needs extremely low tide. 22nd June, unfortunately without Aline, with a small group of fans of this place from the photographers group Life on Pixels joined me to this fantastic photo spot! Aline thanks for the inspiration!

April #conservationlands15 #bucketlist: Bodie Hills, California, for Wildflowers, Wildlife and One-of-a-Kind Ghost Town!
California’s Eastern Sierra region is a dramatic transition zone between the snowcapped granite spires of the Sierra Nevada and the endless sagebrush covered uplands of the Great Basin. A visit at the right time of year will reward visitors with a diversity of wildflowers.
One great wildflower viewing area is just north of Mono Lake and east of Yosemite in the rolling Bodie Hills – hills being an understatement since they top out at over 10,000 feet! Because of their high elevation, wildflower blooms are later here than much of California – typically arriving in May-June on the lower slopes and into July on the highest peaks. Several back roads traverse the area and offer access to view the displays of phlox, penstemmon, and paintbrush to name a few of the many wildflower species. More than 100,000 acres of BLM lands cover most of the Bodie Hills and include several wilderness study areas.
This year’s bloom promises to be early and short due to the dry winter across much of California. However, even if you miss the peak bloom, there is no shortage of things to see in the area. Bodie State Park is the site of the best-preserved ghost town in California, and arguably in the U. S. Wildlife viewers can see antelope, mule deer, and if lucky, get a glimpse of a sage grouse. If you visit later, around early October, crisp clear nights will turn the scattered aspen stands to gold, giving a second opportunity to see the Bodie Hills in color.

BLM Winter Bucket List #14: Cache Creek Natural Area, California, for Eagle Hikes
On Saturdays in January through mid-February, you can join the BLM California and other outdoors enthusiasts for guided eagle hikes in the Cache Creek Natural Area. Spend four or five hours hiking across the secluded, hilly expanse of oak woodlands and grasslands - a combination of over 70,000 acres of BLM managed lands and 4,700 acres of state and county lands.
Eagles often soar over the Cache Creek or perch in streamside trees, and visitors often spot other wildlife, including tule elk, golden eagles, osprey, herons, red-tailed hawks and egrets.
The Cache Creek Natural Area is managed to improve habitat for wildlife and rare plants, to protect cultural resource values, and to offer primitive recreation opportunities, including wildlife viewing, river running, hiking, equestrian use and fishing. In 2006, approximately 27,245 acres within the Cache Creek Natural Area were designated as the Cache Creek Wilderness Area.

April 23, 2022 - Hollywood Sign Hike from Wonder View Trail in Los Angeles - Hollywood Hills, CA. This was a Bucket List Photo Hike for me!
I have lived in South Korea, Alabama, Texas, and Kentucky. I have traveled to 25 countries, and 49 states and enjoyed many cruises, train and road trips. Hadley gave me a gorgeous Diamond ring when we married. I don’t care about clothes, a big house, or a fancy car. But I have been wanting really nice pots and pans since I started cooking last year. So… I am delighted to announce that last week, I crossed this wish list item off. I have an awesome set of Calphalon pots and pans. Next is a new oven….ODC: Bucket List

What is an National Conservation Area? From the vast deserts of western Nevada to the fog-shrouded coast of Northern California, the BLM’s National Conservation Lands has stewardship of 16 NCAs and five similarly designated lands in ten states. Each area is has its own unique congressional legislation guiding BLM stewardship and public use. They offer a wide range of recreation opportunities, from whitewater rafting and gold-medal trout fishing in the Gunnison Gorge NCA in Colorado to world-class rock climbing in Red Rock Canyon NCA in Nevada. These lands feature exceptional scientific, cultural, and ecological values. For example, the San Pedro Riparian NCA in Arizona supports over 350 species of birds while the Steese NCA in Alaska contains critical caribou calving grounds. They differ tremendously in landscape and size, the largest being Nevada’s 1.2 million acre Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon- Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area.

BLM Winter Bucket List #16: Baldwin County, Alabama, for Warm, White Sand Beaches and Wildlife
Are you tired of cold weather and mounds of snow? Then come on down for a visit to BLM’s pristine white sand beaches in Baldwin County, Alabama. Here you will find six small beach front tracts, totaling about 30 acres, managed by the Southeastern States Field Office located in Jackson, Mississippi. These tracts provide access to recreation activities on the Gulf of Mexico and its many beaches. Made almost entirely of quartz grains washed down from the Appalachian Mountains thousands of years ago, the white-sand beaches that make up the Gulf Shores shoreline are some of the finest in the world.
With winter daily average temperatures are in the 60’s, these beaches make the bucket list if you wish to trade snow drifts for sand dunes, seagulls singing, and waves crashing; it’s everything you need to discover a whole new side to BLM public lands. And, if you are lucky, you might get to observe sea turtle nesting or catch a glimpse of the Alabama beach mouse, both federally endangered.

Located in the magnificent red rock country near Grand Junction, Colorado, the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area offers dinosaur buffs an opportunity to explore sites of significant historic excavations. Step-back 140 million years and hike the 1.5-mile Trail Through Time, an interpretive trail adjacent to an active dinosaur quarry. In addition to learning about past excavations, visitors will occasionally see paleontologists working onsite between May-August. The list of dinosaur remains found here is quite extensive, and includes Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus Camarasaurus, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, and Nodosaurus.
Visitors will find no shortage of outdoor activities in the 123,000-acre NCA. The area includes a hiking trail to the second-largest concentration of natural arches in North America. World-class mountain biking can be found on Mack Ridge and along the 142-mile Kokopelli trail, which extends to Moab, Utah. Twenty-five miles of the Colorado River wind their way through the NCA, offering a flat-water float through spectacular red-rock canyons. Pictograph and petroglyph sites abound, and the Old Spanish Trail - once referred to as the “longest, crookedest, most arduous mule route in the history of America” - runs through the NCA.
