Started a holiday in Cornwall this week and visited the harbour. What a fascinating place. The harbour looks as though it has been created by cutting through rocks (mainly slate). It consists of two harbours, inner and outer. The town itself is largely unspoilt with narrow streets, some still cobbled, old drainage system with grills made from iron, beaten into shape by blacksmiths. In a word, marvelous.

There are many birds about and I shall post some more on this thead. The first ready for posting is the Shag. A beautiful bird. The one depcted wa perched on rocks in the outer harbour. This is an uncropped image and yes, the bird was close and not at all bothered about being photographed.

The link in Peter's post does not work for me (seems to happen a lot lately with linked images) - I presume that this is the same shot in Peter's gallery which I have already commented on?

Thanks Joe and Colin.

Joe,
I also have posted this image in another gallery which requires a minimum width of 800. This being in portrait format has forced me to use this size.

Yes the link is to the photo that you have kindly commented on.

I am having a lot of problems applying PP using this laptop as the results are not very clear. I am travelling back from Cornwall tomorrow and will endeavor to improve some of the images before reposting/posting them here.

Lets hope we l have a good weekend. Its rained for a lot of the time I have been here. Thank goodness that the E3 is weather sealed. I have proved Olympus' claim this week.
