Because I try to write and include relevant photos centered around a theme, I don’t include all sorts of interesting photos, at least photos that I find interesting.

I know the English have a sense of humor; however, that humor makes rare public displays. There are occasions though. Sometimes the humor depends upon the observer knowing a thing or two.

Similarly, the English can be riled politically; yet, once again there is a lack of public statements. I realize that walking through generally rural and small-town England greatly restricts those public appearances; however, I did expect more.

I’m not surprised by the art found along the trail, in gardens, at the pier, or in museums. In Ilfracombe, Verity stands. She is a tall statue of justice standing on law books with the scales behind her back slightly unbalanced. Further south along the coast, around the beginning of the twentieth century, painters especially were attracted by Cornwall’s “light”, similar to Provence attracting Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Gaugin, Matisse, Picasso, and Chagall. While there is no Michelangelo, there are sculptors whose work can be viewed. In Penzance and Porthleven, there are sculptures along the waterfront.

Enjoy the photos.
