A reflection in an iron ore-coloured puddle of water, the wheel house of Ale and Cakes mine in Cornwall stands shimmering against a blue and cloudy sky upon green grass shuddered by a breeze on the water.

A photo of the Ale and Cakes wheel house in Cornwall, silhouetted in the background on the blue sky and white cloud horizon, a swathe of yellowed grass leading to it from the foreground, with scrubland undergrowth on either side of the picture, and trees on wither side of the wheel house as a frame.

Reflections of times past
In waters where ripples
Change the way
These edges and broken bricks
Are seen in puddled haze,
I am more beautiful
In veiled mystery
Than ever I was in harsh life
And dusty toil.
