I wanted to shoot something during the day as I really wasn't expecting such a lovely sunset over the poppies (thank you all so much for all the lovely comments by the way!)
So when the clouds and light got a little bit more interesting we found ourselves here. Tin mines just say Cornwall to me and I'm sure I came here on a school trip, mind you it was 1976! Hopefully this mine does pre-date my childhood! I would love to come back here for a moody sunset or a stormy day.
This was followed by the obligatory cream tea but I am pleased to report that less food was consumed then my 2019 visit!

In December of 2015 I'd taken my photographic hobby to new heights. A month earlier, I began processing in HDR. I began utilizing auto exposure bracketing (AEB) in my 10 month old Canon EOS Rebel T5i, my very first DSLR. I wasn't very good at it, and am sometimes appalled at the cartoony look of my first HDR images, but I got better as the years ticked by, and a decade later, I rarely shoot anything other than HDR.
I always had a wide angle "attachment" to my Sony Cybershot, my camera for the previous 8 years. In December 2015 I got my first wide angle lens for the DSLR.
Here is a newly processed photo taken on my very first "Photo Expedition" with my then brand new Canon EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM wide angle lens.
I love to shoot as wide as possible, esp. when attempting to get tall buildings in the shot.
This morning (01/13/2025), I'm awaiting the delivery of my NEW wide angle lens, a Canon RF10-20mm F4 L IS STM. I've been using the previous lens, with an EF mount and an adapter, on my first full frame camera with an RF mount, the EOS R from 2020, and now the EOS R5. The lens I get today uses the RF mount and allows usage of the full area of the 45MP sensor. I've waited over a year for the lens to become available on Canon's website. It sold out almost as soon as it was introduced. I'm pretty excited.

Again, a shame that there is no credit given to who did the wonderful illustrations on this Metropolitan Life Insurance pamphlet. I'd like to think that the jolly illustrations made for lighter reading on serious issues like illnesses, hearing problems, bad eyesight, cancer. Anything to take your mind off, I guess.
Farmers' Insurance announced it has become the first auto insurer in the nation to offer a five percent discount to customers who drive hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles. Councilmembers Wendy Greuel, Eric Garcetti, Jan Perry and Tom LaBonge with Kevin Kelso of Farmers'Insurance. Oct. 17, 2005.
As it was full moon I stayed local again and went to this house i've been meaning to go to for a while now.
Apparently an insurance scam gone wrong, a guy burnt down his own house for the insurance and they wouldn't pay out.
Now I believe it has been sold off at auction, bought by a developer, it will be knocked down and a few new houses to be built in its place, such a shame people get greedy.

well a girl just doesn't know when trouble will come her in 1940s Europe better safe than sorry,
Having a mess around with my WW2 look even did my own hair do. Not totally happy with hair but the idea works and I really should stay blond.
I've done a few photos with look and I will be posting the best of a bad bunch over the next few days.
Would love to go to a 40s event dressed like this.
Even yet you’re profitable for homeowners insurance , we substantially wish we won’t have to use it. Short of a break-in, bursting pipes, or a kitchen inferno, we mainly will go years though wanting to ring adult your agent.
Sometimes you find a location that is just your sort of thing and the Allianz Arena in Munich was one such place for me. As the sun goes down the lights on the outside of the stadium come on – ideal for a silhouette type shot. This is a black and white version of a shot from a while back, I’m on a bit of a black and white phase at the moment!
I went to the bank for my usual transactions and met Marianne, an insurance agent—a friendly girl with an easy smile. She doubled as receptionist and was more than willing to explain insurance and other investment opportunities the bank had to offer. She has been in the bank for 6 months. She's into sports and loves to watch the sunset.
I have been wanting to make a Flo minifigure for some time with simply no time to sculpt the hair piece. Since the LEGO Movie figures are now out there is a perfect hairpiece that simply needs to be in a slightly different color and BAM, you have FLO.
Added a small rubber band for the hair band and the gun and Flo is armed for the ever dangerous world of Insurance.

I love how Westerns always seem to be the thing that is on TV back in the 50's.
This platter goes out today for an insurance company having an open house. They wanted a variety of houses and cars, so hopefully they'll like these!
I happen to notice this building as I was going into the driveway of my Site Shop office so had to get a shot of it ... I processed it in a new Plugin by Redfield called Elementary... It is an interesting plugin and more my style than some of the others I have ... Happy Window Wednesday, Everybody!!
Technology arrives in the world of the insurance claim. One small bump in a car park, and a few photos later the repair is approved.
Most of it would polish out, and a bit of coloured tape makes the rear light legal, but the bent and cracked plastic bumper means a trip to the body shop. And that means an insurance claim.
This abstract is made up of just two photos, the rear light, and my reflection whilst photographing the VIN , buried under the wipers and windscreen.

Italian postcard by Bromofoto, Milano, no. 227. Mistake alert. This is NOT American actress Joan Leslie as indicated on the card but British actress Hazel Court!
Flame-haired English actress Hazel Court (1926 – 2008) was a Horror Queen of the Hammer films of the 1950s and Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe adaptations of the early 1960s. Alfred Hitchcock called her 'the best screamer in the business'.
Hazel Court was born in Sutton Coldfield, Great Britain in 1926. She attended Boldmere School and Highclare College. Her father was G.W. Court, a professional cricketer. At the age of fourteen, Hazel studied drama at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the Alexandra Theatre, also in Birmingham. Two years later, she met director Anthony Asquith in London, which won her a bit part in the musical film Champagne Charlie (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1944), made by Ealing Studios. Her only line of dialogue was "I never drank champagne before". The film was based on a play that depicted the real-life rivalry between 19th-century English music hall performer George Leybourne (Tommy Trinder), who first performed the song 'Champagne Charlie', and his colleague Alfred Vance (Stanley Holloway). She got a contract with the Rank Organisation and trained at the studio’s ‘charm school’. Court won a British Critics Award for her supporting role as a crippled girl in Carnival (Stanley Haynes, 1946) about a ballet dancer of the Edwardian era, starring Sally Gray. Years later, Tom Vallance wrote in his obituary of Court in The Independent: “Pert and pretty, Hazel Court was a versatile actress who for several years was the epitome of the deceptively demure, often spunky, but very English heroine in British films of the Forties.” She appeared in supporting parts in the comedy Holiday Camp (Ken Annakin, 1947) with Flora Robson, My Sister and I (Harold Huth, 1948) with Sally Ann Howes, and the drama Bond Street (Gordon Parry, 1948), starring Jean Kent. About the latter Hal Erickson writes at AllMovie: “This multistoried drama purports to detail the events occurring in a single 24-hour period on Bond Street, a "typical" British thoroughfare. The Grand Hotel-like construction of the film allows for several colourful character vignettes.”
In 1949 Hazel Court married Irish actor Dermot Walsh. They co-starred together in the fantasy film Ghost Ship (1952, Vernon Sewell) as a young couple that acquires a yacht. The ship is haunted by the ghosts of a crew that had disappeared off the ship years before. A cult classic became the science fiction film Devil Girl from Mars (David MacDonald, 1954). Patricia Laffan starred as Nyah, an uptight, leather-clad female alien, armed with a ray gun and accompanied by a menacing robot. She arrives at a Scottish inn to collect men as breeding stock, while Court played a disillusioned fashion model who hides for a man who is following her. In 1957 Court played the naive cousin-fiancee of Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) in The Curse of Frankenstein (Terence Fisher, 1957). It was the first colour horror production by Hammer Film and the first of the studio’s Frankenstein series. Its worldwide success led to several sequels, and Hammer's new versions of Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959). Court's red hair and green eyes were seen in colour for the first time and her role plus her buxom gained her the status of a ‘scream queen’. However, she wanted to act in comedy films, and in the 1957-1958 television season, she appeared in Dick and the Duchess, a CBS sitcom filmed in England. She played the role of Jane Starrett, a patrician Englishwoman married to an American insurance claims investigator living in London (Patrick O'Neal). Court travelled back and forth between Hollywood and England, appearing in four episodes of the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1958-1961). One of them showed her being transformed by her jealous husband (Laurence Harvey) into chicken feed. In England, she played in Hammer horror films like The Man Who Could Cheat Death (Terence Fisher, 1959) with Anton Diffring and Christopher Lee, and Doctor Blood's Coffin (Sidney J. Furie, 1961) with Kieron Moore. In the first, Diffring played a sculptor who had found a way of stopping the ageing process so that he was around 70 years older than he looked. While posing for him, Court bared her breasts, a scene cut from the British and American releases and only used for the foreign film market.
By the early 1960s, Hazel Court had permanently moved to the United States. In Hollywood, she continued to appear in horror films, now for American International Pictures. She knew how to project a smouldering sensuality in her roles, and it propelled her to a cult siren. Court was featured in three of AIP’s Edgar Allan Poe adaptations. At the climax of the first one, The Premature Burial (Roger Corman, 1962), Ray Milland shovels dirt on her as she lies in a grave. In the black comedy The Raven (Roger Corman, 1963), she co-starred with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff as a trio of rival sorcerers. The third and best was the exotic The Masque of the Red Death (Roger Corman, 1964), with Vincent Price. The blog Cult Sirens notes: “The Masque of the Red Death in 1964 is probably her most well-known role and surely her best performance. As Juliana, the bride of Prince Prospero (Vincent Price), her sex appeal is at its peak and her tragic death (a bit on the bloody side) is one of the film's highlights.” Court's roles often relied on her cleavage and her ability to shriek in fear and die horrible deaths. It brought her fan mail, even in her later years. Court had divorced Dermot Walsh in 1963. They had a daughter, Sally Walsh, who at the age of four had appeared with her mother in The Curse of Frankenstein (1957). While shooting an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Court met American actor-director Don Taylor. They married in 1964, and Court retired from the film business to concentrate on being a wife and mother. They had a son, Jonathan, and a daughter, Courtney. Through the years, she guest starred in episodes of many classic TV series such as The Third Man (1959), The Invisible Man (1959), Bonanza (1960), Danger Man (1960-1961), Rawhide (1964), The Twilight Zone (1964), and Twelve O’Clock High (1964-1965). She continued to do so and could be seen in Dr Kildare (1965), Gidget (1966), The Wild Wild West (1966), Mission: Impossible (1967), Mannix (1968) and McMillan & Wife (1972). Finally, she appeared briefly in the third Omen film, The Final Conflict (Graham Baker, 1981), starring Sam Neill and Rossano Brazzi. Like in her first film, she was uncredited in this Horror thriller and played a champagne-drinking guest at a party. In addition to acting, she was also a painter and sculptress and studied sculpting in Italy. Following her husband Don Taylor's death in 1998, she appeared on the cult movie conventions circuit. In 2008 Hazel Court died of a heart attack at her home near Lake Tahoe, California, aged 82. A week later, her autobiography 'Hazel Court - Horror Queen' was published by Tomahawk Press. One of Court's biggest fans is writer Stephen King who mentions her in various of his novels.
