Botallack Mine

Wonderful tonality and nice composition.

Your series on this mine led me to google it. Interesting history at this place. From what I read, mining might have started around 300BC here. In modern times, starting around 1813 and ending in the early 1900's. I find it interesting how they dug a slanted shaft extending to under the sea to the depth of hundreds of fathoms. Great series of photos, Ian.

Very nice indeed, Ian.

Great viewpoint which composes well into the square format with a good 'Z' lead to the lone chimney. The overcast sky also suits this simple composition and stengthens the feel of isolation and bleakness.

Neil.

I was searching for images of Botallack today, as I am planning on returning there next month (Oct). This looks good as Neil has said.
