The title only refers to the fact that it is Sunday when I'm posting this picture of a church; in fact I'll be down at the beach scouring it for plastic and fishing industry waste and cleaning it up rather than sitting in church singing and asking for any supernatural help with the problems we… Continue reading Church on Sunday
There is a thing I keep seeing on Twitter where people post pictures of doors. It's a running series by Norman Frampton on his blog at Norm 2.0 "Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world." This may have started… Continue reading Thursday Doors
Yesterday morning was looking to bring a fine day. Even by 9am on a Sunday families were already occupying their little territories of the receding beach at Crackington as the tide was heading for one of its high points for the day. I had headed down there a little earlier than normal to give myself… Continue reading Offshore Mists
Regular visitors will notice that I have refreshed the look of the site again. Sorry about that, you must think I'm a bit of a tinkerer. And more than a little indecisive. You'd be right. In explanation, although happier that the image size was larger I was still not happy with the theme that made… Continue reading The Exe Estuary
At 420 meters above sea level, Brown Willy is the high point of Cornwall. Its name of course is guaranteed to make small immature British boys giggle until they are at least immature 50 year old men. American ones would get the same effect if it was called Brown Pecker. There was a movement by… Continue reading View to Brown Willy from Showery Tor
Now is not the time to be out on the moors or up on the cliffs. There's very little to offer cool relief or shade on the heights of North Cornwall in the UK's current heatwave. Trees and rivers are rare - and any trees are not very tall when there are any - so… Continue reading The shade
I have posted a shot before (Photographers Assistant) of a wedge shaped tree from Warbstow Bury, which is somewhere I take the dog for a walk at least three or four times a week. In the comments someone mentioned that the tree looked like it was being blown by the wind. Up here, and in… Continue reading Windswept
When I signed up with Society6 I didn't realise quite how hard it was going to be for anybody to purchase anything from them at full price! The discount offers seem to come thick and fast so, rather than think of a new way to tell you this news every time, I've decided to take… Continue reading Big Skies and big discounts
This church is just a couple of miles away from us. We hadn't been before but after a walk around the Bury it was just a hundred metres down the lane, so, having time to do it, we nipped down to have a look. It is named after a Saxon Abbess from Chester apparently and… Continue reading St Werburgh Church, Warbstow
It was nearly sunset at Warbstow Bury. It had been a misty day for our walk at the coast, with cloud banks sitting just out over the sea and occasionally heading inland for a couple of kilometres to give a cooler and foggy air, but it was much brighter and warmer inland. For the evening… Continue reading Twisting Hawthorn
A clapper bridge is a simple form of construction used since medieval times, in this case it is built out of the plentiful granite slabs placed over some solid piers. This Grade 11 listed bridge carries the track across a small stream at the base of the slopes approaching Roughtor. What always strikes me is… Continue reading Roughtor Clapper Bridge, Bodmin Moor
Society6 are on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, out across the waves that get thrown with some vigour into my side, and their Mother's Day (which research indicates does have the apostrophe) is approaching. Now, I don't particularly care about these things but... it is a great opportunity for any of you thinking… Continue reading Mother’s Day Print Sale
