Fish and Summer in St Ives.

See before you eat........
at Matthew Stevens' fish and shellfish emporium.........
it's the in thing in St Ives, where the press have been speculating whether it is Gordon Ramsay, Hugh Fearnley-Whittinstall or Rick Stein who is set to move into a new fish restaurant nearing completion on the seafront.......
an exciting new venture this year, celebrating the two Jumbo luggers that have been built in recent years......
meanwhile, the multi-million pound refurbishment of the Porthmeor net lofts continues apace with a neat little pas de deux twixt builder and his ladder.......
and much of the original facade maintaining its character it seems.......
maybe you need to knock three time for Naomi Frears........
downlalong in the St Ives Tate, thousands of visitors have added their heights to this room-filling measuring fest.........
each person's height recorded by hand with the aid of a solid black felt-tip pen.......
in the entrance lobby, Martin Creed has emptied his lungs to fill the gallery space with thousands of white ballons which deter none but the most claustrophobic from entering.......
the UK's biggest ball pool created especially for the enjoyment of adults it seems........
and much photographed by those on the balcony trying to catch a glimpse of their friends below.......
onshore and offshore at Porthmoer.......
inshore boats from around the coast on their moorings all set for an afternoon's mackerel fishing......
even with the dazzling gold braid, here's one Harbourmaster not afraid to get his hands dirty once in a while......
it's a family affair overending gear aboard the cat, Dignity.
