Going back to 2015 now and a visit to the Tate Gallery. Despite having a local’s pass I haven’t been back for a couple of years (most of which it has been closed due to the pandemic), but hopefully once St Ives is less crowded I can return. Of course there are many more photos of St Ives on my Cornwall blog which I began when we moved there in 2016.
Painting St Ives
All these images were taken through the windows of the café located on the roof of the Tate, St Ives. A slight glass distortion effect has been applied. The reflections are original 🙂



This post is a contribution to Fandango’s Flashback Friday. Have you got a post you wrote in the past on this particular day? The world might be glad to see it – either for the first time – or again if they’re long-time loyal readers.
Stunning seaside blues, Jude!
Let’s hope things do continue to gradually return to ‘normal’…
I hope so, but I have a feeling that September is still going to be busy.
I bet you can’t wait for all those ‘Grockles’ to go home, Jude! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
I haven’t been anywhere for months Pete. It will be nice to have quieter roads. And go to the beach again.
Flashback Friday is a good way to keep remembering what was important to you. I haven’t done this one before. 🙂
We haven’t visited St. Ives since my now 31 year old daughter was 5 (when it rained – nay, deluged – almost every day). Time to revisit, I think. But definitely not in August.
Very definitely not in August. As for the rain, well that can happen any time! I think April is a good month (avoiding Easter of course) and the gardens are at their best then.
Five year olds dont care about gardens! But now we aren’t in thrall to school holidays we can choose a better moment.
I haven’t been to St Ives since I were a nipper
Same period then …;)
😳
Lovely set, Jude
Thanks Sue 😊
Pleasure
These are gorgeous photos!
I remember having coffee on this very roof. We had (not so) cleverly timed our visit to St Ives to be between exhibitions.
I like these images. The colours are lovely.
A nice painterly effect I thought.
what a gorgeous flashback
Thank you 😊
