St. Ives Pictures!

[icepixie]

Hooray, time to play with pictures! London pics should be coming by the end of the week. Perhaps even tomorrow.


ETA, June 2006: Go here instead of using the individual links.

Shots from the train

St Ives from the train
The famous lighthouse

General beachy shots from Day 1

Again with the famous lighthouse
Beach
More beach
Town
Lighthouse on the pier/wharf/whatever it was called
"The Hole in the Wall"
Church tower with town surrounding
Being of a relatively sane temperment, I decided not to die by climbing down to the beach on these rocks.
Chandra, on the other hand...
Not to mention everyone else...
Chandra in the water, looking like a Winslow Homer painting (I am so proud of this photo)
Chandra looking picturesque, Whitney looking ominous
Whitney sinking in the sand.
Waves are pretty.
Ellen playing in the sparkly waves
Ellen and Chandra playing in the water
Chandra running along the beach.
Rocks...boats...lighthouse...
More sailboats.
And, yes, more boats.
I swear, I didn't take this as a black and white picture.
Waves and rocky cliffs
Birdy tracks in the sand.
Aw, seagull!

From the coastal walk

Church on a high hill
People on the beach being picturesque
Rocks in the sea
A neat fuzzy version of the church from above
Sunny graveyard on a hill
Looking oddly like Dartmoor, except with an ocean
Matz, Bowman, and the moorish landscape
Waves washing the rocks
Grass and ocean looking epic
A string of little inlets
Sunny St. Ives!
A tractor pulling a boat ashore. I have no idea.
Seagull sitting on a lamppost.

St. Ives on a foggy morning

The sea befogged
The town, also befogged
Foggy craggy things
The church (in fog)
The town again, still foggy
Seagulls are a nuisance
Boats looking rather immovable
Foggy rocks
Ellen being a tourist
Pretty lamppost
Neat staircase
Palm trees just happen in southwest England
Celtic cross
Land ho! A very misty landscape
More fog
Part of the quay
Beach
Beach looking especially deserted
Again with the church on the hill
Town in the morning

*

Views from the hill that church is on

View from the hill, with flag
A ray of light
Fuzzy lighting
Heavenly light
Christian publishing companies must love going to this place for book cover photos
An imperious seagull
"The Imperious seagulls" would be a good band name
The edge of the world
St. Ives, looking like it came right out a Thomas Kincaide painting

Four acts in three hours! I'm awesome! Kinda crashed before Act V, though. Really sleepy in class. Oh well. Not my week to present.

From Monty Python & The Holy Grail:
"Isn't there a St. Aaaaarrrrggggh's in Cornwall?"
"No, that's St. Ives."

Looks like a nice place, St. Ives.

That's a very blue ocean, by the way.

It was very pleasant.

Yes, it is. Kind of scary, actually.
