A Quiet Scene...

Since Cornwall is bordered by the ocean at 3 out of 4 corners, it isn't much of a wonder why so many Britons holiday here in the summer. It's the only part of Britain with a subtropical climate.

Yesterday evening, I took my dog for a walk on the harbour of St. Ives - the tide was going out. Still rather a quiet scene, residents were probably having their dinner and others heading home from work, we were joined by just a few other dogs and their owners. You could smell the fish aroma coming from boats that were docked and the salty sea air... close your eyes and you can hear the seagulls flying above your head!

In a few short weeks, summer will have officially arrived, and this quiet scene is yielded to the visiting crowds!

Shadowed views of a Church...

Happy Happy Easter!!



The name of this church is unknown to me, but it sits directly on the beach of St. Ives Harbour.

I like to think of days long ago, when it was just a quiet fishing village, how the villagers would commune, and their fishing cottages built along the harbour; the women waiting for their fisherman to come home, having been gone since the tides had gone out that morning, to return with the tides... And every Sunday, the people of this little fishing village would congregate at this church...
