Newdowns Head, St Agnes, Cornwall.

Cornish coast, Red Head Cove. High tide.

North Cliffs, Cornwall. And, yes; there is a (faint) path down! Perhaps better on large for the detail in the cliff face.

St Day old parish church ruins.

HANWE everyone!
Built in inferior stone and on the cheap in the 1820s, this church soon started listing (possibly due to being built on ancient, uncharted tin mine shafts - St Day isn't known locally as 'Sinking City' for nothing!) and by the 1950s was unusable after the roof fell in. No money was available to shore it up and re-roof it so a more modest church was built nearby. Nonetheless it's still a local landmark and the spire is visible for miles around.

One more evening coastal shot

Near Basset Cove. Southwest Peninsula Coastpath, North Cliffs, Cornwall. Perhaps better enlarged.

Goodnight!

From above St Agnes Head. I just felt the combination worked well. (...and works quite well too on large). Above all, I just liked the colour and slight choppiness of the sea here!

HANWE everyone

Went for a brief lungful of sea air in the hour I had available before returning to cook supper and It was fortunate that I co-incided with this colourscape!
North Cliffs, Cornwall.

Mum's garden again.

Aubutillon Canterbury bells. At least that is what I learnt from someone somewhere! I may be wrong and would be pleased to be corrected.
Abutilon megapotamicum: Thank you for the identification, Adrian Jones.

Another evening light shot on the Cornish coast.

HFF! Guernsey lilies from my Mum's garden (I know there'a fence behind there somewhere!)

I rather like these lilies but haven't had the time to research them and give a variety name (and my mum can't remember). Do we have a lily expert who could help here?
Guernsey lilies! Thank you to those who came up with the correct answer!

Evening light and a silvery sea from St Agnes Head

Taken from the same spot as the previous post, different view and separated by time of day and ten years!
Miracle of miracles! 1) I found an hour of 'me' time and drove to the coast here. First time in 2 and a half weeks of being in Cornwall that I actually set eyes on the sea! 2) My phone camera actually allowed this one shot to be uploaded onto my laptop !

HFF everyone!

Not sure what these small yellow flowers are and my Mum can't remember!
Anyway, they're cheerful!
Melampodium divaricatum - aka butter daisy - thank you, Isabel for that!
I remember that while taking the shot, it started to rain quite hard (despite the sunshine) and I thought I had wiped my phone screen enough but obviously not completely. Anyway as a record of the moment I'm not at all fussed by it!

H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

South West Peninsula Coast Path, above Greenbank Cove, Northcliffs, Cornwall. High tide; I used to come here mostly at low tide and do the coastline, rock-hopping walk along the shoreline you see here as far as Porthcadjack Cove. PAM J would understand me here!
Perhaps better on full screen.
And I include this long version of a famous song because I love it a lot and hadn't heard in a while so I thought why not do a 'sight and sound'! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z66wVo7uNw

Hell's Mouth. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Another one from this place. The last one was from my sister this year. I've not yet been here in foul weather but can imagine the despair and terror of those ships' crews driven ashore here - and they were, in their thousands!

Carn Marth Open Air Theatre.

A disused granite quarry and an ideal open air theatre location. I was supposed to see a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream here; my girlfriend at the time had got the tickets free as she was a sister of one of the performers. Sadly, I developed a tooth absess that day and was in too much pain to attend. :o(
For Pam.

Garden, Saint Day, Cornwall
