Hi Jono, apologies for the late response, I have been in Truro all day.HI Barry
I don't remember the artists painting in the shops in Fore Street - but I remember the Seaman's mission (pretty much where you took your photo from) where I misspent my youth playing Billiards and Snooker.
My father was a doctor in StIves (and a fine photographer - there are some of his pictures in the Tate StIves) - he was friends with lots of the artists - many of whom came to our house for dinner when I was a boy (Hepworth, Heron, O'Malley, Wynter and more). My mother was a jeweller, taught by Breon O'Casey.
I also remember the deck chair building on the beach on the extreme left of your photos . . . which is now our very favourite restaurant (the Porthminster Beach Cafe) - if you haven't been, then you must! Booking required, great for lunch as well.
One of our favorite days out is to drive to StErth station - catch the train to StIves (along the coast - lovely) have lunch at the Porthminster and then wander through the town for the afternoon (a visit to the New Craftsmen for one of Cornelius Van Dop's lovely badges is vital ). Tea at the Tate and then back to StErth on the train.
What could be nicer (we'll be there again towards the end of March).
Yes, a fantastic space with an extraordinary light. What kind of reaffectation would you see there ?Thank you, Annna T!
That's an old Market Hall in Worms, Germany very close to the river Rhein - a fantastic place.
Because of the many discounters and supermarkets we got everywhere in the last years the place went broke.
I am not sure about its future, would like to buy it .....
Excellent yet again Ng ^ ^ ^ The 70-400mm let you get in really close...I liked this set the best...I need a longer lens than my 55mm...Cheers Barry
Running, walking and jumping on water sequence.
Thanks Barry. The 70-400G is a great lens. I bought this for my trip to Namibia and S. Africa a few years ago. At that time I was using the A850 and a number of leitaxed R lenses.
The last time my wife an I visited Cornwall was about 20 years ago. We stayed in a country club, near Praze-An-Beeble and visited places such as Lizard Point and Land's End. I enjoyed visiting that part of England, but my wife preferred the bright lights of London!
Hi Ng, that 70-400mm Sony G lens is an excellent quality lens. At 1.5KG (I had to look it up) I would have thought that it was a bit on the heavy-side to cart around on one of your long trips but it's pretty versatile, so I expect it replaced a couple of lenses in your backpack.Excellent yet again Ng ^ ^ ^ The 70-400mm let you get in really close...I liked this set the best...I need a longer lens than my 55mm...Cheers Barry

Praze-an-Beeble is a delightful little Cornish village and excellently located for exploring South of Cornwall...Ladies can't resist the the bright lights of London with all those shops enticing them in...Praze is the very opposite! It just has the very basics as far as I can see... Pub/Bakers/Post-Office/Hairdressers/Cafe/Deli and that's it!
