Land's end and Back.



Land's End is the extreme southwest point of England.












Once again, my brother will have better pictures of this place, but that's because he climbed way out on these rocks and somehow didn't die.






We had split up and spread all over the site, and when I climbed up to find my father, I found this (European) kestrel instead. It hovered into the wind as they do, then plunged down behind a berm. A second later it flew away with a vole in its talons.




There was a tourist centre up there, but it was closed. It was nice to see European starlings in, you know, Europe.


If that TARDIS is bigger on the inside there must be 2000 seat auditorium in there.


The "First and Last Postbox in England."


One last look at Land's End before heading back to Penzance.


Where we were greeted with open arms!

It looks lovely. The landscape reminds me a bit of Kerry in my country.

I contend that the place wouldn't have been improved by arriving when the centre was open.

Beautiful! Nice to see the Cornish language in sight (on the hotel). Were there many signs/pther things in Cornish down there? Funny story - when I first moved to Boston, I ended up taking free Cornish classes at Harvard. I only remember a few words, but it was a great class and I had a lot of fun.
