statue of King Arthur on the top of Tintagel cliffs

I love this, in a beautiful way it’s only half there and kinda ethereal, which is as it should be since the legends and theories about Arthur are many but there’s not a lot of certainty.

Wasn’t quite such good weather the day I was there – which meant my photos have a very different atmosphere!

@cosmicvoodoo

It’s not just that he is ethereal, but that he is a part of the land, and the land is part of him.

It’s terrifying standing on that area; I went there at the beginning of summer and it’s totally exposed, right on the edge of a huge cliff into the sea, so you constantly feel like the wind will pick you up send send you screaming

Interestingly, while the area is famous for its connection to the Arthurian myth, it’s also interesting in that it has one of the largest excavations of bronze-age (I think it was) artefacts, that show amongst other things their trade so so long ago with the Med; if you look at that place on a map, and traveling by ocean in that period…
