Town views

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
