This is the third blog. These pictures were taken from the alredy mentioned places along with St.Michaels Mount, Land's End,St.Ives, Tintagel and others.

The days we spent at St.Ives and St.Michaels Mount were dreadful in regards to the weather. The landscape changed within seconds and constantly changed. At St.Ives we were literally within the cloud which descended over the town. It produced some weird coloured skies.


3) Scenic (and others)

Literally - Land's End

And again - Sunset at Land's End

The theatre was the brainchild of Rowena Cade, who lived at Minack House overlooking Porthcurno Bay. In 1929, a local village group of players had staged plays in a nearby meadow, repeating the production the next year. On next productions Miss Cade offered the garden of her house as a suitable location, as it was beside the sea. Miss Cade and her gardener made a terrace and rough seating, hauling materials down from the house or up via the winding path from the beach below.





 
Minack is about 3 miles from
Land's End

St.Ives - Strange weather all day - Warm, bright but no sun or blue sky.
The seals had made the port their playground

St. Ives again

dramatic change in the weather


Tintagel
- past the church was the sea -
just loved the wall which must
have been created centuries ago

Taken in Tintagel known for Tintagel Castle 
(a medieval fortification located on the peninsula of
Tintagel Island, adjacent to the village of Tintagel)
and known as King Arthurs country
