Cornwall Highlights #2

Check out Cornwall Highlights #1 and for more on St Ives see here and here!  

15 minutes of fun!
Nervous excitement as we watched others take boats out before us.

 He even looks cute in a lifejacket. I think I'll keep him.
I could sit and watch this water all day long. I'm sure my worries would wash away.
It was awesome to capture this fisherman at work! 
During our recent trip to St Ives my boyfriend and I got lifejacket-ed-up and took ourselves out on a boat. It was a fun fifteen minute trip! It's strange how different something you've seen a hundred times before looks from an alternative angle - it was lovely to view the harbour front from the sea. This mini-adventure also gave us the opportunity to see the men at work, sailing in with the day's catch. I rarely love a photograph I take but I was thrilled to capture the shot of the fisherman, suited up in yellow. It's one I'll cherish, for sure.

  7. @BunBun - yeah completely agree! I was under the impression that it would only pop up when you hover over it but I've tested several times and it pops up immediately when you land on the page. My bad!

    It'll finish on 26th Sept! x

  10. As a child we used to go to Cornwall every year and I loved it. We stopped going when I was a teenager and I haven't been since. I'm trying to drag the boyfriend down there for a holiday. That beach looks gorgeous, excellent photos, glad you had a good time.
