Marketplace clocktower, St Day, Cornwall Sight and Sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=18620H_z8Uk sometimes only a Chopin masterpiece will do!

My sister's take in Algete, Spain. A pleasant shot and perhaps even more so on full screen. Sight and Sound, just because I happened to find it and these are two artists I love; www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXgo9pkuhU8

Another St Day Market Square clocktower night-time view. Lit up in preparation for Remembrance Sunday.

A late blooming passion flower and all the more welcome for that! My mum's garden, Saint Day, Cornwall.

Time seems to have passed by St Day! This street is fairly typical of the village centre. It's a bit like a blast from the past! Perhaps better on full screen. Sight and sound. Just love this early funk song by an underrated genius in Donny Hathaway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkfTLnE5Vtk

Not sure how this appeared but I quite like it. Probably a finger or thumb there!

There are a few such alleyways here; some have a mysterious, almost spooky, air about them.

Another evening coastal shot. Quite calm and peaceful despite looming clouds and a few sharp showers. North Cliffs, Cornwall and the South West Peninsula Coast Path. Perhaps marginally improved on large.

Another corner of my mum's garden. Fuchsias flower all year round here, they love all that moisture! Sight and sound www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uk0d7FIpCw Because Amy Winehouse was one of the greatest blues voices of all time, on a par with Janis Joplin, Bessie Smith, etc.

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

My sister sent me this shot today from Spain..

From the archives and maybe shown before. But I can't get out to take fresh photos and anyway the weather is atrocious so here is one I baked earlier!

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.

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall. (perhaps a smidjin better on large)

St Agnes Head, evening light, Cornish coast.

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!

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.

Basset Cove, Crane Islands and North Cliffs, Cornwall. (Godrevy Island and lighthouse can just be seen).
