Cornwall pictures

So here are a couple, literally, of pictures from my recent camping trip to cornwall. Not entirely convinced by them yet, but im sure they'll grow on me and i'll be happy with them enough to send them for stuff down the line!! That usually happens haha!

"Island in The Sea"

"Yellow View"

Also, the names will cange i think - especially the Yellow View one but i couldnt think of anything else while working on it and saving it so there you go!! And if you look veeeeery closely on that picture you can see a plane in the sky. It'll be like a Where's Wally!

Look at me ma, top of the world!!

Another addition to my Dead Animal series. This poor fellow was found just down the road from my house, i think he must have fallen out the tree because he seemed in perfect condition...apart from the deadness.

Couple of new pictures for you

These were taken in the "goldmine" up the road from my house. I don't actually think there's gold in there, i mean it doesn't look very gold...more sort of brown and green, and desolate. I'm sure if there was gold there'd be more going on up there!!

But over the years it's become more and more eerie up there, the old train accessories being taken away so there's nothing much left but a big empty shed and train carriages. People are often dumping rubbish up there too, be it small amounts or loads - have come across a broken down old jeep left up there once. It has started to feel like the sort of woodland area that you see in a horror film where the inbred evil family take pleasure in stalking, hunting and torturing people. Maybe i should have someone holding my hand next time i go up there?!?!
