The secret garden.... - a photo on Flickriver

            A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot  when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left,  that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..

St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….

The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
