Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Cornwall, just to say that I hope this week treats you well.

Upright photo. Looking through a gap between two iron pier railings above and below, and two thick coils of turquoise-green and brown rope on either side. Framed between them, picturesque and colourful old wooden rowing boats and trawlers that are anchored in the turquoise-green sea in the bay of St Ives, Cornwall. Beyond them, the famous town of St Ives with rows of picturesque pale-coloured old buildings curving across the curling coastline and curving down the town's steep hill.

Thought i'd give the #fediverse another go. I'm an #occupationaltherapist living in #cornwall. I work in #mentalhealth and also do #autism assessments. I'm a keen amateur photographer mostly taking photos with my phone at the moment. I'd love to connect with people on here. My interests are #photography #music #reading #books #walking #countryside #nature #mentalhealth #autism #adhd #neurodivergence #scandinavia #dogs #animals #antifascist #environment

Been out for our walk.
This is not a fancy bench, but wow, the view.

A seascape of blue ocean, slightly greying cumulus above, and headlands with green vegetation on the cliffs and fields on top stretching off on the right hand side, with the foreground showing a simple weathered and low backless bench nearest the camera, which is angled towards sitting and taking in the view beyond.

Luxulyan Valley, Cornwall

A deep valley full of industrial archaeology, now partially reclaimed by nature: mining, stone quarrying and china clay production that required a robust transport system of tramways, inclines and leats. It includes Treffry Viaduct over the river that ran a tramway on the top and transported water underneath the track.

Superb place. And great weather when we went a week or so ago.

#Cornwall #IndustrialArchaeology

A viaduct (or bridge) with high walls either side and a floor made of granite slabs. Across the slabs, lines are visible that show where the track of the tramway was laid. At the junction of the walls and the floor there is green vegetation growing, some low and some taller. In the distance at the end of the viaduct is a woodland of tall trees in leaf.

A very small building made of irregular blocks of granite. It has a window but no roof. The tops of the walls are covered in tall grass. Around the bottom of the walls is lush vegetation including foxgloves. It may have been what was known as a crib hut, where workers could rest and eat.

A derelict industrial site. On the left are walls supporting a chute for water. Below there would have been a waterwheel driven by the water from the chute. All that is left of the wheel is the central bearings that sit across the wheelpit. Everywhere is overgrown with vegetation and in the background are thin trees and bushes. The power from the waterwheel was used to haul wagons up an incline.

Germoe, Cornwall

14th century window and some beautiful winter sun

#FensterFreitag #Cornwall

A church window with small panes in a deep recess. Some of the panes are clear and others lightly coloured. Sun is streaming through the window at an angle, lighting up the whitewashed wall and casting shadows of the window.

I recently started a substack. There isn't much on here yet. But if you're interested in a creative who is inspired by her Cornish home, feel free to give me a follow.
