Pictures Of Cornwall, My Photographs

The famous mermaid at Zennor Church



Chun Quoit



The most photographed object in Cornwall.

Those are great, I haven't been to Cornwall for about 15 years, didn't know about all the megaliths and stuff there...

Yes indeed.

Cop a load of this amazing archaeological find:

And if you hold it up to your ear....

Cheers Davey B - I love pictures of that kind of stuff, did you do any more?

Surely the most photographed object?

it's very phallic and sexual, isn't it?


I suddenly had a flashback to more 'flusher' times and thought, hmm could go to Cornwall soon and take pics, then remembered it costs money

an incentive to work hard and prosper i guess...

She had a bad case of piles, clearly

I saw something similar on the Antiques Road Show a few years ago. Give them a call Zoot – it could be worth something.

Some pictures of less well known sights in cornwall will follow. But not today.
Did you know that the internet cafes charge £3.60 an hour down here.

Have you been to Botallack. Lovely.

I bought a medium size steak pastie yesterday at St Just. They are valued at £2.05 and are very delicious.

Is it worth a visit? I've not heard of Botallack. (consults google).

Thanks R.M.

No problem.

It'll look particularly lovely in the sunshine, so perhaps tomorrow would be better than today.

Today in West Penwith is very grey and drizzly. Definitely a day for Galleries, Museums, Tea Shoppes and maybe later.... .

are you trying to suggest it was a monument to anal sex?

Seriously tho, cave paintings, white men on hills, were sexual by nature, who's to say this monument isn't. It seemed so to me.

no.

Somewhere I think off the road between St Ives and Zennor (it was over 20 years ago when I was there) there is a narrow track that goes past a small cottage where Barry Humphries once stayed (he had to be airlifted from somewhere near when he got injured by falling) and then goes into a small wood and kind of loses itself. Somewhere down there is a wooden sign reading "Wicca" and in the wood are the remains of several cottages - a small village. It could have been in an EF Benson or HP Lovecraft story. I found it strange and romantic more than creepy, though.

Good pics, by the way.

I call this one Quoit Before The Storm (gedditt?)



I was quite moved by this scruffy statue of the Virgin Mary in Sennen Church. It was recovered from a wall niche three hundred years ago. The guidebook says "It's just as well to blame the roundheads for the damage". It was given a new head and baby jesus (modelled from clay in recent years). My insensitive use of flash set on full blast adds to the strangeness of this tiny figure.



Not sure why this is lying down. Photobucket is misbehaving today.

fixed it.

Thanks Aubrey. We might have a look at Wicca next time we're down that way.

(On edit next day) We have a brilliant book called Journey to the Stones which has lots of country walks to interesting stone circles etc in it. It shows a walk that goes through Wicca via about twenty old stiles. We'll definitely be going there on the next sunny day we get.

Hippies at Boscawen Un stone circle. You could tell they were hippies because they were smoking dope and they called me "Man".



The Fogou at Carn Euny

i like that top one! very spooky, very reminiscent of some places in ireland as well

not that the purple trousers would have given it away...
