Sep 22: Caradon

South Caradon mine at dusk. Looks peaceful, and it was, except for Archie, who was at the bottom of the hill barking his head off at the stream that becomes the Seaton river, and two stupid kids messing about on quads. Actually, it's probably not the kids that are stupid. At 13, I'd have loved the chance to ride around the moors on a quad. No, it's the more likely parents who are stupid. "Here ya go lad, go knock yerself out", and off they go on their own with no training, no helmet, no sense of danger. Guess Darwin would have a thing or two to say about that...

I've never been there, but it looks like you did a fine job of catching the sweep and the mood. Moor power to you!

That's a cool misty valley you've caught. Darwin could have said a few things about child labour too...
