A Quick Photo Trip Around Cornwall

I haven't been out with my camera for a while - the weather and other things seem to have got in the way. Anyway, here are a few pics from my archives to show I haven't forgotten everyone.

We start off above in Charlestown on a windy day and below Mevagissey with a few of the fishing boats in the harbour.

Swiftly moving on to a view of the sea from the Esplanade at Fowey - one of my favourite towns.

Shopping now at Trago Mills. They sell just about everything. One of the entrances to the store is via the attractive  bridge below. 

A splash of the sea now at Spit Beach.

There's a heck of a lot of sand at Padstow - when the tide is out.

Here we are now at Newquay famed for its surfing. The photo, though, is of the harbour.

A glimpse of Cornwall's Eden Project. Plants and flowers tucked up nice and cosy in giant biomes.

A look across the River Fowey to Polruan.

Moving on to Mullion Cove with its granite harbour wall.

Cliffs on Cornwall's Lizard Peninsula.

Some interesting thatched cottages to be seen when out and about in Cornwall.

A final stop to enjoy the beach at Bude on Cornwall's north coast.

That's all for now ~ thanks for visiting my blog. Take care.

All good wishes,  Mike.

A Mixture of of Photos Snapped in Cornwall

 A mixture of photos today, but all taken when I have been out and about in Cornwall. Above is the  Towanroath Shaft Pumping Engine House. It's hard to imagine that this area would have once been a hive of activity with tin and other minerals being exported all around the world.

Next a glance inside of the Huers Hut in Newquay. It was used in the past as a look out when shoals of pilchards were expected. The hue and cry would be heard when the fish were seen.

We are now by the White River near St. Austell.

It's definitely a hotchpotch of photos. The next photo is of the old lock on the church door at Tywardreath. The village is known as a setting for Daphne du Maurier's book, The House on the Strand.

Just along from the church, in a field, were these happy faces making hay.

Charlestown now, but probably a view you haven't seen previously

 A couple of cloud photos, how quickly the weather can change.

The new(ish) part of St. Austell all lit up, at least for a while.

The Eden Project lights last Christmas.

And below plants in Eden's biome ...

... plus a West African shop. You never know what you might spot at the Eden Project.

Moving on, a few houses before the rain came down.

 An aeroplane ready for take off at Truro's Victoria Gardens.

At Charlestown again now, with a father and young son fishing. Good to see.

Red berries: it's often said that if there are lots of red berries, especially on holly, it's going to be a cold winter.

Flying high, a black and white photo, clicked on an evening walk.

Looks like St. Austell town is trying to get locals to shop locally - perhaps free parking would help.

We must have had a 100 plus of these fellows on our back garden grass - also a reminder that our grass needs cutting!

Not too sure what this is but looks very tactile and could well tell many stories - imagine how many people must have touched this over the years.

Oh yes, and this dog was sleeping when he should have been on guard duty.

Finally today, all is quiet at Charlestown.

Thanks for visiting my blog, all good wishes ~ Mike.
