And on the third day..

..Mark created some more Cornwall photos!
Up before the crack of dawn to shoot sunrise at St Michaels Mount, I followed in David Notons very well troden footsteps, only to find 2 other photographers ahead, so I strayed from the flock slightly and hopefully did something a tiny bit different.

I didn't really get the effect I wanted with the water (I really must buy some ND filters), but it's a nice pic. I have a few more pics of this to process later too.

Roche rock. A fantastic eruption of freak geology which has an equally brilliant early 15th century chapel built into the granite.
The granite outcrop is estimated to be 270 million years old and is surrounded by remains of ancient rituals and settlements.
.
The stone is Tourmalised (contains Tourmaline and other geochemicals) and some parts appear like sparkling blue gold.
.
The Chapel itself is mentioned in several myths and legends:
It is the refuge of the ghost of the giant Tregeagle, a 17th century villian, whos soul is tormented for all eternity by the devil. He was chased across Cornwall by headless hellhounds before claiming sanctuary in the chapel.
.
It is also said to have been used as a refuge for Tristram and Isolde in the legends of King Arthur, after Tristram stole Isolde from King Mark.
.
The finale of The Omen trilogy of movies was also filmed here in the early 1980's. Where a group of priests, attempt to kill the anti-christ, Damien Thorne (played by Sam Neill).
