St Ives has many quaint cobbled streets (and some wide enough for one-way traffic) and interesting old cottages |
...which brings with it certain modern problems |
Many cottages had small (low) doors |
A small but delightful garden |
Less delightful, but a garden of sorts |
Floribunda! |
Steps and flowers, nice combination |
Lots of steps everywhere |
Streets so steep they need steps |
Infrequently used steps, by the look of it |
Buildings squeezed into all available places |
With so many winding streets, nothing is really a back street |
Hills - and narrow alleys - and shops in process of conversion |
"Renowned for its cats" says the tourist literature |
Two beige guys with their yin and yang dogs |
Alfred Wallis "Cornish artist and mariner" lived here |
Tate St Ives, reflecting the cliffs and beach |
St Ives School of Painting - we went to a life drawing class one evening |
Cemetery with sea views |
St Ia's well - legend has it she came to Cornwall on a leaf |
Hilltop view - west side, Porthmeor beach |
Different hill - east side view, the harbour |

I came back from St Ives on Saturday, so I'm very much enjoying your pics and missing the sea.
We may have rubbed shoulders!

Ooh, jealous! Still I will be down there myself end of July.
