It's interesting how the mood of of a place can alter as the weather changes.
Today's photos are of the fishing village of Mevagissey.
I always enjoy a stroll by the harbour.
A pleasant place to rest and enjoy the view. As William Henry Davies wrote:
This gentleman seemed to be equipped for whatever the weather.

Lighthouses are always interesting. This one is only about 26 feet tall but the light can be seen for around twelve nautical miles.
How different everything looks as the fishing boats huddle together.
Blue sky and coloured boats to lift the spirits.

I was over at my mother's place yesterday and she was watching the Australian version of the quiz show 'The Chase' on TV and one of the questions was " which country is the Lost Gardens of Heligan in?" and I thought of you and your blog Mike, for which I probably wouldn't have known the answer to if I hadn't have read your previous posts over the past weeks:-)
ReplyDeleteAnd a nice walk you have presented here in Mevagissey, too.
I'm becoming hooked on your posts ... pardon the fishing line pun;-)
Glad to read that you were able to answer that Heligan question - what a small world we live in. Mevagissey and Heligan are both near to where we live.Always good to hear from you, best wishes.
DeleteI remember visiting mevergissey with all the brightly painted boats in the harbour. Lovely photo's and memories for me. David.
ReplyDeleteHello David, glad the photos stirred a few good memories for you. Mevagissey is quite near Helligan Gardens, but I guess it wouldn't have been opened when you visited the area.
ReplyDeleteIt’s no secret that I love a harbor full of colorful boats and reflections on a beautiful day! These photos are lovely all around. I’ve been curious about the village name and finally have looked it up to learn its origin. Interesting choice of names to combine into one! I especially like seeing the jumble of houses stacked on the hillside. I enjoyed this post a great deal, Mike. Best wishes from Ann.
ReplyDeleteHello Ann. On a sunshine day Mevagissey is always a treat with the fishing colourful boats in the harbour. Trust all is well, all good wishes.
DeleteThis is a lovely post, Mike. The harbour and its gorgeous array of colourful boats are so attractive. And that moody sky is terrific. Thank you for reminding me yet again how beautiful Cornwall is.
ReplyDeleteHello, many thanks. Mevagissey is an interesting village and harbour especially on a sunshine day - and we've had a good spell of sunny weather recently. Good wishes.
DeleteFab pictures Mike. The colours of the houses and the buoys are wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lulu. On a sunshine day it's pretty special. Good wishes.
