Stars in the sky.

Airborn traffic passes overhead........

big shot of plaice with the beam trawl.......

with fish stretching the length of the market.......

including 15st of herring........

the condemned man gives it the thumbs up.......

as he makes his getaway.......

all set for those fishmongers with customers who love Italian or Sicilian recipes no doubt.......

one of those mornings.....

"Following the extension of the Great Western Railway to West Cornwall in1877 the Cornish fishing towns of St Ives and Newlyn both began to attract artists, drawn by the beauty of the scenery, quality of light, simplicity of life and drama of the sea.. The artists known as the Newlyn School were led by Stanhope Forbes and Frank Bramley who settled there in the early 1880s. Newlyn painting combined the Impressionist derived doctrine of working directly from the subject, and where appropriate in the open air (plein-airism), with subject matter drawn from rural life, particularly the life of the fishermen". ...........

no sign of fishermen on the Govenek, they are all down below enjoying a cuppa.......

a layer of fish scales, sure signs on the quay of sardines coming ashore........

the Ivan Ellen, framed by some of Ben Gunn's Blue Stones..........

calm enough looking towards the gaps.........

news that the Wherry Town skaters are to get a huge grant to create a new skate park have been given a warm welcome by the community at large.
