Storms and Jigsaws

Earlier in the year I photographed the Valentine's Day storm ripping apart Penzance promenade, even though it is constructed of two-ton granite blocks. The swells were heavy enough to break up the jigsaw construction and scatter hundreds of them along the shoreline.  Valentine's jigsaw destruction The blocks were recovered from the sea bed and craned onto the top of the prom where they have rested all summer, awaiting someone to come and replace them. Someone genius enough to unscramble the pile and rebuild this jigsaw. Storm damage to the old railings Jigsaw pieces So yesterday I went down with a camera to see how the crane and workmen have been piecing it back together over the past few weeks.  Each block has been measured Main keystones laid Flat blocks laid down between key stones and held in place with steel bars drilled through the block. Holes drilled in the blocks so they can be lifted  The engineers st...

Horses

An unusal sight on any beach really, the gathered forces of the King's Troop at full gallop bearing down on you. Though partially posted in Afghanistan, the troop are more often seen firing Royal salutes on state occassions, under the leadership of Captain Max Channery. These were shot earlier in the summer for the national newspapers while the horses were 'holidaying' in Cornwall.  Luckily the surf was only mediocre, so it was easy to concentrate. In other news, this blog has heard that it is not fulfilling all of the functions claimed in the title.  Plenty of photos and surfing, we're told, but not enough moaning.

Alas, words elude me, and seem to have done so for a couple of months.  In fact over this time words have been escaping from me but only as speech rather than as written or typed examples of the form.  At one point during the recent festivities they started escaping from me in song form at the same time as a catchy tune, which I'd rather taken a fancy to, came on the pub jukebox.   My pleasure in voicing the words was immediately arrested by my companions with their use of other words like 'off-key' or 'tone deaf' and even 'droning'.  Harsh, cutting, not to say painful orismology , I was forced to shout 'Them's hurtin' words!' at the undeniable truth. Perhaps not floods of words, but certainly floods of water have been the order of many days, and nights though, with last year being the second wettest on record for the UK, though apparently not for Cornwall. Some of my photos got published when floods hit Newlyn recently. I did a lot o...
