It's amazing those structures are still standing at all.... And the wildflowers are gorgeous =) Nice capture...

Thank you, Fizgig. This Wiki link gives details.

Note that the tin mines went some way out under the sea. The miners had to climb all the way back up on ladders after a back-breaking stint in the mines! All best wishes,
Andy

When I see these type structures holding on way past their useful time, I wonder if there is anything we create now that will be able to persevere.

I like the grain in this photo. Works with the stone and water. (Was it windy?)

Thank you Laura! Today inbuilt obsolescence is everywhere. Not in those days!
Windy? It was too long ago to remember (5 years) but I don't think so. Why?
