St Ives at high tide. I don’t know about the moving water, but it certainly makes you move pretty sharpish when it splashes over the pavement!

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 🙂
Gilly of Lucid Gypsy posted similar images from her recent visit to St Ives. I’m beginning to get the glimmer of an idea for a challenge here.
WPC: Vivid
adjective
-
producing powerful feelings or strong, clear images in the mind.“memories of that evening were still vivid”
-
(of a colour) intensely deep or bright.“the rhododendron bush provides a vivid splash of mauve”

I’m a huge fan of LD’s work the host of this weeks photo challenge and his wonderful street photography, but to see his work in colour you must take a look at the way he visualises the VIVID festival of Sydney, Australia. Simply the best…
