I bet you'd all forgotten I promised you these, hadn't you?

This evening I found my St Ives photographs.

Alas, I don't seem to have taken any the first night, when there were three huge seals swimming in the harbour and some teenage girls were giving them fish. I also don't seem to have any that indicate that it's a big surfing venue, and quite a party town after hours, but in a pubby way rather than a ( Read more... )

out and about

Omg, that town looks gorgeous! I want to go there.

I hope our run of cold, wet summers has finished now. It doesn't really show on these photos how cold it was- mind you most of the ones I took on wet days I didn't put up. That last one where the sky looks almost brown? Most of the reject ones look like that.

However, it's been in the low 20s for most of the last 2 weeks so hopefully that won't happen this year...

We should switch weather patterns. We've had a heat wave for over a week now. Except today is looking to be much nicer, finally! I would take chilly over heat any day though.

Actually, it's not temperatures that I get tired of... it's the grey skies. Cold sunny days are alright (though I do like the warm- I love summer clothes!), but sometimes for days and days, even in summer, the light is so poor there are no shadows- the sky is off-white from horizon to horizon, like living inside a pingpong ball. Then again, these pictures are in Cornwall, where they have demonstrably warmer, brighter weather than the Peak District.

I want that street - the one with the flowers, and the cobblestones. Also, I'll take the beach. Ok, the harbor full of boats, too. Pretty!

Well, the beach and the harbour are actually one- the harbour completely empties at low tide and leaves all that sand. Those boats sitting on the sand float in fifteen feet of water for half the day (with seven-foot seals swimming between them) :) Here's someone else's vid:

What a lovely little town! We definitely don't get anything so picturesque in this part of the country, and of course I'm jealous of your nearness to the ocean. Also I like your sandals.

Actually, it's even better than it looks in these pictures. (As are my sandals. They have jewels.) It has two further beaches, which we never went to, due to coldness- it's on a peninsula and curves round into a bay, so there is one on each side and a third one on the edge, that I wasn't really even aware of until we had a long walk. (That sounds weird. It makes sense on arial photos.)
