Polly Joke.

Polly Joke is a place in Newquay, on a visit down there I was introduced to this place that I had never heard of. On Fathers Day it was heaving with people, however I managed to get some shots minus peeps. Apparently quite famous for the Poppy fields.
Here they are, I'm not sure on my focus in them, but my favourite first, hope you enjoy. KP and a Tamron 18-200 my travel lens.

1. My favourite;

I didn't know of it but I am going to Port Quinn soon and will look out for it. I also take that lens with me on holiday.
You have given me inspiration!
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Gorgeous. Just goes to prove, yet again, it's the skill and ability to 'see' of the photographer not the kit. If pushed, and it's a big if, my two favourites are #3 and #5. Nah, on second thoughts - they're all great.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Thank you all for the comments, appreciated. I should go back one day and improve on them, they were in haste as usual but also many people getting in the way. If taken at the right time they would improve greatly.
The location really is stunning, who needs to go abroad?
Nearby/nextdoor there is a Cottage out building come workshed where a sign advertises Gramophone repairs etc, and a welcoming door open with one displayed. Oh how I wanted to go in and take some shots, but SWMBO and family wouldn't have allowed. Perhaps one day. Maybe one idea for David if he goes there?
