The View from Cape Cornwall, misty. Photograph: Vivien Blackburn
This is a view back from Cape Cornwall towards Sennen - the light was silvery blue and misty, the water in the distance sparkling.
The photos below were taken by my daughter - I wanted to show the steep narrow lanes. The one down to Sennen is used by the double decker buses - being stuck behind coming up the steep hill was not fun!
The rocks are the ones that shelter the tiny harbour, visible at low tide but a lot of them under water as the tide comes in.
The road looks much wider in the photo than in reality.
The ones below were a narrow lane with hardly any passing places that came down off the moor - luckily we didn't meet any cars coming the other way, it was only just wider than a single car :>)
Journeys take a little longer! even the main roads are a lot narrower than most of the country.

Oh, yes, those lanes! I found the signs saying "Not Suitable for Charabangs" so true (as well as rather quaint).
brilliant, isnt it lovely, I have a very good friend who lives at the end of Marias Lane, off up there to paint on the cliffs soon. Next time you are down we must meet up. xx
:>) lots of quaint!
small world! it would be great to meet up - Katherine has talked about the possibility of some of us going down there, possibly Tina too.
I love your side with its quiet tree lined creeks as well - the variety within one county is lovely.
I look forward to your paintings there :>)
I love the last photo. We have roads like that around here. Plenty of badgers, occasional jams!
thanks Pete :>)
