 Jacob on top of some rocks near Penzance at St Michael's Mont.


 Tides out at one of our local Ports. This is a tiny little fishing boat.


 Back to St Michaels Mont and when the tide goes out, it leaves a lot of beach that goes on for miles. There's a great little 12th Century market town over the road and of course St Michaels Mont itself.


 At low tide you can walk out to the Mont but we arrived near the change of tide and could only  spend about 20 min on the island. The tides move very quickly here.


 This shot was taken about 40 min later and the island is already becoming isolated from the land. The whole foreshore soon disappeared. We are looking forward to visiting the Monts "relative Mont:" in France as its larger and older similarly on a tidal island. The light is behind the Mont making photos a bit difficult.


This shot was taken within the harbour of the island Mont looking back at the shore.


This was late in the day across the other side of Cornwall at St Ives. A great little place to walk around with its protected harbour and old market village with interesting shops. That's Steph all rugged up.
