Moar Velvia! - Part I

The Orford Ness photos from the previous post were all shot on Fuji Velvia 100F but I didn't finish the roll. It came with me to Southwold and produced these:

Valerian shadows in Granny's yard

Some purply hollyhocks in Primrose Alley. I love the pebbled wall, the colour of the bricks, and the shadows.

And a pink hollyhock


Afternoon sunlight in a bedroom

A convex mirror self-portrait á la Adam


Down on the prom

The view from a beach hut

Busy day at the beach

The film then returned to Bristol with me, but that's another post...

All these photos were taken on Fuji Velvia 100F with my Pentax ME Super.

All my Cornwall photos are together here.

St Just in Roseland

After a somewhat relaxed morning we drove out to St Just in Roseland to see what it was like. We parked at the top of the hill and walked down to the beach, passing another car park on the way. It all looked a bit like this:

We sat down and ate our lunch, then had a little wander around on the beach.
You could see lots of small boats near Mylor, and bigger ones at Falmouth, on the other side of the water.
There was lots of seaweed


and sea anemones in rock pools

and pretty shells


It looked like low tide

Then we walked back up through the churchyard

which was rather pretty and on a slope.
Niall has probably got better photos of it than me.

Beside The Seaside

Housel Bay(map) on The Lizard near the Southernmost Point, is absolutely gorgeous. And I don't use that word lightly (unless I'm being sarcastic!)


From the East side.


The path down to the beach there is quite lovely too.


There are alliums growing wild next to the coast path.


And foxgloves.


It's nice to just sit on the rocks and watch the water.

Late-afternoon at Loe bar

A few bits of Cornwall.
Loe Bar, near Porthleven on The Lizard.


Grasses and blueness.


The view from inside a pill box.


The sea and a suffering fence.


Sunny silhouetted grasses.
