I’ve been invited to take part in the “Five Photos, Five Stories” challenge by Alison of Scene by Minerva. The challenge is quite simply to “post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge”.
My five photos are going to depict what I love about Cornwall. The light, the colours, the coast, the history.
Godrevy Lighthouse on the eastern side of St Ives Bay, west Cornwall. Facing the Atlantic Ocean it is popular with both the surfing community and walkers, photographers and even writers. It was the inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s novel “To the Lighthouse“. (please click image to enlarge)
My nomination today is Lynne Ayers of Beyond the Brush Photography – who is an excellent art photographer. Absolutely no requirement to join in, only if you want to.
It’s a photo that makes me want to step inside it and go for a walk along that magnificent coastline!
You can definitely do a long walk along this coastline Jo. The south-west coastal path is 630 miles! Probably best done in stages 😉
Darn!! I wish I was closer!! .. I would have found my new hiking challenge 🙂
I’m contemplating it if I ever get to move down there – a bit at a time though!
That’s the only way 🙂
I really want to get to Cornwall someday; I have such imaginings of it! Your picture makes me want to take a long walk along the coast there. 🙂
For some reason, I was following your blog but only on the Reader, not by email. Since I can barely keep up with my email notices on blog posts, I rarely get to my Reader!! I’m glad I found your travel blog and am now signed up for email notifications!!
I intend to get back to Cornwall one day – your post has me even more determined!
There are just so many lovely areas to visit in the UK and not enough time…
Too right!
Another beauty! (I’m working backwards) Must fly, Jude- will catch up with benches/flowers later.
Enjoy my Cornish ‘series’ Jo. I hope it shows why I love it down there. You back in the UK then?
