    mouzel to Lamorna Cove

    Pete Lumley wrote about running with Megan 2.5 mi/day from his home in Mousehole to Lamorna Cove. We can take a virtual route to Lamorna. Start at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. There is a geology hall that is ringed by 30 building stone columns. Column 3 is identified as Lamorna Granite. It was mined at a quarry in Lamorna Cove. The texture of the stone is porphyritic. It is grey in colour and is called a porphyritic granite. I have an Intel Create and Share microscope with 10X, 60X and 200X magnifications. If a Lamorna Cove resident or visitor would kindly send me a small representative sample of Lamorna granite, I would gladly post digital images. My Intel pc camera pro could yield a macro view of the specimen. I commend the seven photos, lamorna13 through lamorna19 by Simon Lewis to you. A first choice is a sample from the pile behind the cottages in lamorna19.jpg.

    I'm a bit of a traditionalist.I rarely adjust my shots in photoshop unless it is to actually prep it for display on the web site. There are photographers out there that are pretty amazing at reducing a woman's age by some 30 years of so in removing her crows feet around the eyes, but to me such lines are part of the photography. What I take I keep, other than normal darkroom minimal play.
    As for colour, I never use colour film. Black & White to me evokes long term future of a photograph with a theme of history no matter how recent the shot actually is. I will eventually step into the realms of digital but at the moment I think even Leica are a few cameras away from convincing me. Pete

    HI,
    Just the usual at this end, storm chasing with the camera mainly - my favourite time of the year. We haven't secured a sponsor for a big Leica lens yet so I'm having to get as close to the product as humanly possible, namely cliffside. Nice and close for when the wave is coming over the top. But it reminds you that you are alive and you certainly remember the time and the place.
    We are pressing on with the book preparation for late 2007 on 'Form' with a pound sterling from the sale of each book going to a Breast Cancer Charity or to assist toward direct purchase of a piece of equipment that would be used on a cancer ward. I am hoping to secure an arts grant for the cost of the book publication with the majority of shots already taken as I was sponsored by Kodak all last year. Fingers crossed but being a photographer is like being that poor artist you often see in movies of times past.
    We are getting used to having 'Patch' in the house, an 8 week old black Fell (Patterdale)Terrier, bought to keep Megan our welsh collie one year old company - Megan goes running with me most days from Mousehole across the fields to Lamorna Cove then back to Mousehole along the cliffs. The little chap will be keen to go in around 6/8 months. Great company on the runs and when we go to Snowdonia in North Wales.
    That Sir is about my news. Hope you are both well. Pete On 8 Mar 2007, at 14:52, Glenn Bowie wrote: Hey Pete -- I have finished, for now, adding to http://webpages.charter.net/glennbowie/. You will cringe away from my 1953 sepias. They make sense to me because comparable information about the Yukon Territory cannot be found. I enrolled us as "Glenn, and Nancy" in Yukon College, Computer Sciences. The College will not care about my background in earth sciences. But Nancy's writing talents can add a lot to the school. Examples: her novel Shadows on St Germain, and her online work. Ex: Sammy http://nancywrites.tripod.com/blog/ Bring us up to date with your work and other pleasures, please. glenn

    Shadows on St. Germain, by Nancy E. Bowie

    During the summer of 1942, Winnie was chomping his cigar and flashing his patented two-finger "V" sign wherever he saw a camera.

    Stalin was screaming for help from the West. The German Army was at the gates of Moscow. Winnie thought of a trick. Drop about 5000 mostly Canadian troops on the beaches of Dieppe. This thriller tells about the results.

    In the set of four photos for this entry you can see the portion of a memorial inscription that is in English print, the cover of Nancy's thriller about the 19 August 1942 Canadian Raid on Dieppe, barbed wire which blocked the way of troops attempting to scale cliffs near Dieppe, and the entire memorial inscription. Visit link Nancy's story about the thriller.

    Finding and Playing Gaelic Music

    During trips to Cornwall, Wales, Brittany, and Newfoundland we became particularly fond of hearing Gaelic folk and gospel music. Especially as heard in Mousehole, Cornwall.
    When we visited Mousehole in the summer of 1976, Stella Bartlett hosted B&B visitors at Renovelle, The Parade. A male choir took part in Sunday kirk service then walked down The Parade to the favourite pub. They raised brews in hand, stood closely in a ring, and became Pub Singers. Favourite tune: verses of "The Ballad of Lamorna Cove", in Cornish dialect.
    Do yourself a favour. Listen to samples of "Voices of the Valley" by becoming a registered member and searching the site and hearing "Abide With Me", for example.

    Take a break. Read about the first publicity event for the album having been held in Cefn Mawr, Cymru (Wales).Cefn Mawr is the home of my maternal grandparents. Click vron.jpg in the following photo list. See Nancy's painting nancybowie02.jpg as a memory of Mousehole harbour. I took the photo of Harlech Castle.

    Two favourite images, and why

    Schooner, standing, is our male Irish Terrier.  Kelly, our bitch, is sitting in a dolostone birdbath. Local developer Jeff Lawrence kindly placed the boulder in the middle of our front yard.

     He's The Lilly-of-the-valley was one of Dad's favourite hymns.

    Bowie Crevasse Field

    I was a member of the geology/geophysics U of Minn field party team in West Antarctica, 1962-63 summer season. Campbell Craddock was party leader. He assigned me to help measure the rate of flow of the Minnesota Glacier. I did so by crossing the glacier twice, while being tracked by two USCGS surveyors.
    The location became known as the Bowie Crevasse Field.
