[Leica] IMG: More scans - Lizard peninsula, Cornwall

[john at chiaroscuro.co.nz (John McMaster)]

Not many houses around that area, first landfall after the Atlantic so quite
windswept. The Lizard is quite sparsely populated outside of a few villages,
particularly the western side. It is flat and is on very solid ground
(serpentine) so it houses Goonhilly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goonhilly_Satellite_Earth_Station although I
see it has closed now. Some farms and there is an Royal Naval Station (RNAS
Culdrose) at the top of the peninsula, many retirees and a few commuters.

Thanks for looking

Impressive images, John.  But that does seem to be a desolate area, great
for images but difficult to live with.
