Sunset at Wheal Coates.
Taken from the slopes of St Agnes Beacon. Looking towards the headland on the left, you can just about see the lighthouse Island of Godrevy and beyond that Carbis Bay and St Ives. The buildings are the top ones of Wheal Coates Tin Mine. This was built in 1872 and drove 32 heads of stamps as well as winding from Towanroath shaft below. The engine stopped working in 1887, although it was modified during the 1910-1914 reworking. It was consolidated in 1986.
Of course a great sky for the lover of such things too. The type of view I will never get closer to home.
Essential full screen.

The colours in the foreground are beautiful and I like the almost silhouetted buildings.
If I was being really picky I might have cropped out the tiny tree branches on the right - but they don't detract from how good this shot is - just a small distraction :-))
