Iron Man


The Iron Man overlooking Llanbedrog Beach in North Wales.  


As a child I would climb the hill to see him and look out across the bay, blue sea and Snowdonia providing the backdrop.  He no longer stands....due to the materials used and the untreated surface, (all the better to blend in with the natural surroundings) the 'Iron Man', as was expected, gradually decayed until all that was left were his boots.


Do you think he was ever replaced?

Cornish Church


Peace and tranquility in the doorway of a Cornish Church.  Cornwall is a wonderful place to visit.  It has quaint fishing villages, lush scenery, beautiful beaches, and is one of the best places to surf in England.

What is she thinking?
