Did the walk between Bottalack and Cape Cornwall today, and got rained on again! I must admit that the post-industrial architecture down that way is going to provide many hours of entertainment, (for me anyway.)
Fans of the recent Poldark series may recognise the Crowns Mines used in that production. The mines went 2 miles out under the sea, in places the miners could hear the sea tides rattling pebbles on the sea bed too close above them.

Pic #3: is that the prototype for the Einstein–Rosen bridge portal device?

Re: My hobby
Don't know what breed he is (no horns - Angus??) but he looks pissed. How long is your lens? I'm assuming you were at least 15 m (50 feet) from him and hoping you were more like 25 or 30 m away. 200 mm?

On the plus side, if the bovine gets mad and tramples him, Gob's family can get a six-figure settlement.ex-khobar Andy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:09 pmI'm assuming you were at least 15 m (50 feet) from him

He's not in Austria; he not even in the EU anymore.
(But I'm sure he's got plenty of long telephoto glass for just this sort of situation.)

The bird looks very British. It would also look normal smoking a pipe.
Re: My hobby
Nope, I got close enough to touch him. He was docile. I live on a beef/dairy farm, I'm ok around stock.ex-khobar Andy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:09 pmDon't know what breed he is (no horns - Angus??) but he looks pissed. How long is your lens?

Re: My hobby
I don't think so, even though the field has a designated public footpath through it, it's a case of "at your own risk" around here. I'm sure the farmer would be wise enough to not put dangerous bulls in a field with public access.

Re: My hobby
Don't feel so assured. More walkers killed by cows in the UK than by bulls. Farm workers OTOH are more likely to succumb to bulls
Where recorded, 91% of HSE reported fatalities on the public were caused by cows with calves; only one death involved a bull, and even this was unproven in court. Of all attacks, we found that 48% were caused by (unspecified) herds, followed by single cows (22%), cows and calves (20%), heifers (7%), and one bull attack (2%).
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Impromptu stroll over to Porthgwarra and back with the chaps today. Lovely light /clouds about, got a few tasty snaps.
Lovely sky out the back of the Manor last night.

The sun came out, so I took a walk up the hill with the chaps.
