Jayne's Cornwall
I live on the Penwith Moors in Penzance, Cornwall, in an area locally known as 'Ding Dong'. It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful place to live.
When I moved from London, I was concerned that there wouldn't be much to do down here - how wrong I was.
If you don't do anything else there are the most fantastic walks. My morning dog walk takes in three Cornish engine houses, two ancient stone circles, Men an Tol and the Nine Maidens and a standing stone with writing on it, Men Scryfra .
The whole of Ding Dong is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and whatever the weather there are brilliant places to visit.
There is a lot of historical evidence of mining activity in the area as well as the ancient standing stones and burial chambers. The weather can be very windy and misty here, often giving at a wonderful wild, mysterious atmosphere. It is also very changeable, I have often walked out in glorious sunshine, only to have to run home in a hail storm.
This is Mulfra Quoit, just a short walk away, during an unusual spate of snow. Mulfra Quoit is a partially collapsed burial chamber and the capstone has slipped on one side. Only three uprights and the capstone survive. The capstone is is thought to weigh approximately 5 tons.
There are plans afoot to start grazing the heath land again, this is all part of the Heath Project, but I don't know when they will be starting.
Free 2010 calendars
I designed some calendars for Christmas for family and friends and thought that others may appreciate them. Some of them are of Cornwall, others are of wildlife and pets.
This one is a view of St Michael Mount from Ding Dong, on the Penwith Moors near Penzance.
Visit my calendars page for the full range of calenders which you can download for free for buy and there's also a free wallpaper page for putting on your computer desktop.
Photograph's of Cornwall
In no way would I refer to myself as a 'photographer', but instead a 'happy snapper'.
Cornwall is such a magical place, I don't think you can help to take a few good shots if you take enough pictures.
