Clovelly Pic Scam

[debris4spike]

I told you that last week Tim, Claire and I went to Clovelly for the day - Those in England ill know exactly the village I mean ... but, for those who don't - it's a privately owned fishing village - that still has to use sledges to move things around ... either that, or donkeys.

Yes, you have to be fit - it has steps as a main road - is north- east facing, so tends to be cool, although out of the prevailing winds.

Still a fishing village - but now more used for a stop on the tourist trail - although it was also visited by Charles Dickens, Whistler and was the childhood home of Charles Kingsley.


The view from the carpark!

You seem to have a mad spammer...

I loved Clovelly when I visited with my Mum - a long time ago, I've just realised!

What lovely pictures in the chapel.

LOL - Madness attracts madness, probably! I thought it was just me not trying to work out what was happening!

Yes, Clovelly is great - I had been a couple of times in the past - but never been in the Chapel or the Church - so it was good to have a thorough trip!

Report them as a spam bot and ban them...

Thanks - have done - I'm lucky I've only had that once in the past - and then it was ina foreign language - easier to remember the Spam-Bot thingy!

Love your pictures yet again. England does have a great history, I should go and visit those places. I absolutly love the picture of the waterfall!

Your brother has chips for lunch??? *gg*

BTW I've finished my icons for Spuffy_stillness, can't wait to see what you came up with.

Clovelly is certainly stepping back in time.

Oh he was on holiday, so crisps were permitted!!!! (We all had some!)

Looking forward to seeing your work - it was via this comm that I was finally pushed into D/L and using GIMP! Blame them!

Picturesque!! I'd love to visit but I'm so glad that you've shared these places! I love the waterfall and the rock/stone stairs and the views of the sea.

It is an amazing village - the steps are all the way down - which is why it's donkeys and sledges to move things.

Well i've managed to find time to swing by and have a look at your LJ, your photos are great, the composition is really nice on them too, I especially like the first three,the waterfall, side roads( the one with the steps)the harbour (great leadlines in that one)the taxi one with the donkey (that would make a great postcard pic) and my favourite one, the church, I love the way you've got the headstones lined up across the foreground.
The last time we were down that way and wanted to go into the village it was very heavy drizzle so we decided against it :( wasn't worth paying that money when it was such a horrible day as everything was behind a sheet of rain.

Yay - glad you managed to catch up.

I was certainly lucky with the weather - bright, but not dazzling, so the lighting wasn't something I had to think about.

Thanks for the positive input - since I gave up work Camera Club was one of many things that have had to go - a luxury ... so nice to get some positive input (especially when it was nice!)

Great photos! Every time I see your pics, it makes me want to move! There really is nothing like that here.

A lot of locals refuse to visit Clovelly as you have to pay - and it's touristy ... but this miss a lot. Its a "wow" place - especially on a nice day.
