-
The North Cornwall coast near Trebarwith Strand in early June. The low evening sun picks out the thrift-lined slopes, while the Atlantic breakers rhythmically pound the slate scree as they have done for millennia….

A partially toned picture of daffodils on the banks of the river at Altarnun, Cornwall, taken in January. Global warming?

There is something unsettling about this picture, a sense of menace or foreboding in a quiet evening…

QE2
by M G PettettThe QE2 berthed in the Grand Harbour, Malta in a nine-hour stopover on the 18th November 2008. This was its last voyage, on its way from Southampton to Dubai, where it is destined to become a hotel.

The picture is of a small island called Fungus Rock. It lies just off the coast near Dwejra on the western side of the island of Gozo, part of the Maltese archipelago. A rare plant grows there, prized for its medicinal qualities – so much so that the Knights of St. John forbade anyone to collect it on penalty of death and mounted a guard to keep trespassers away. Probably for this reason the Maltese call this rock “The General’s Rock”. The title means northwest in Maltese and that’s where this November storm was coming from, when this picture was taken near sunset. Tourists used to visiting in Summer might be interested in a somewhat different view of the place! Pentax K 10D.

Another view of the fort, this time in daylight. When the Knights of St. John came to Malta from Rhodes in 1530 they chose this fort as their main military stronghold. There was probably a Phoenicean temple to Astarte on this site before the fort was built, but the date of construction of the original fort is unknown. It was almost certainly ancient when the Knghts arrived. The creek where the yachts are moored was the scene of a pitched battle during the Great Siege of Malta (1565). The Turks who had overrun Senglea on the left, tried to swim across and mount an attack on the fort, but were stopped by the Maltese who dived into the water from the fort side and cut them to pieces in a hand-to-hand battle. / These creeks form part of the Grand Harbour, one of the finest in the Mediterranean. The peninsula of Valletta (the capital) lies shaded in the background. Pentax K 10D

Just liked the patterns on this wall, and the shapes created by the primitive stone steps leading up the side of this old farmhouse to the roof. Pentax K 10D.
-
The beautiful village in the title is on the edge of Bodmin Moor in central Cornwall, UK. Picture taken in early March. Pentax K10D. Photomatix/Serif PhotoPlus used to create this HDR picture.

This church in North Cornwall is famous for its association with Thomas Hardy. Before he became a famous poet and author he was an architect, and in 1870 was assigned to survey this church prior to its restoration. While there he met his future wife, Emma Gifford, who was the sister-in-law of the vicar. This church owes much to his efforts, as it was in a terrible state before he arrived. There are many similarities (and some differences) between his real-life circumstances and those in his book “A Pair of Blue Eyes”.

This church is situated in a very isolated spot near the cliffs of North Cornwall. It dates from the 12th century, but there was almost certainly a church on this site in the 10th century dedicated to St. Gennys or St. Genesius. There were many such holy men who came over to Cornwall from Wales and Ireland in the first millennium – they would set up in such a spot near a source of water (for baptism as well as nourishment) and hold services in the open air. They would often live as hermits, and in time the water source would become a “holy well” of which there are many in Cornwall, one being located very close to this church.
