I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.

Thanks to Alice Popkorn for the use and abuse of her texture "Magic Veil".

Another from the spectacular evening up on Holmepark Fell. I was taken by the way the fiery clouds to the right of this windswept tree sort of complimented it's shape. The textures of the weathered Limestone Pavement on this high exposed plateau also added to nature's rich palette. The colours were spectacular after the sun set, giving the whole scene an ethereal feel.

The sun had set around 20 minutes before over Morecambe Bay with the Fylde Coast and Welsh Mountains in the far distance beyond Heysham Nuclear Power Station. You can also see the car headlights on the M6 in the middle distance near the Carnforth exit and the Bowland Fells lie to the left of the Tree..

I got some lovely images whilst up here again and I also knew my friend John Bleakley was getting the same colours and sky whilst down by the coast in Morecambe. I look forward to seeing the same sky on his shots!!

A beach pebble found many years ago. About 25mm (1”) tall. I’ve tried ever since to cheer it up - but it just won't have it! I may need to put it back?

Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!

Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

All the complicated details

of the attiring and

the disattiring are completed!

A liquid moon

moves gently among

the long branches.

Thus having prepared their buds

against a sure winter

the wise trees

stand sleeping in the cold.
