June 26 Talking about Blessing of the Animals
Quote Blessing of the Animals March 20 mouzel to Lamorna CovePete 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.
My favourite cove photo . March 18 Pete Lumley leads the wayOn 24 Feb 2007, at 19:27, Glenn Bowie wrote: The name of this image is nancybowie01.jpg. Nance wrote the name "jeopardy '74" on the rear of the painting. Nance produced her painting in a certain state of mind. The left foreground has violence -- the righthand background hills have peace from thoughts of Mousehole. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pete Lumley Photography To: Glenn Bowie Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 10:58 AM Subject: Re: jeopardy Pete inspires me. You must get to know Pete's b&w photography. Please note his visitor age restriction. Pete Lumley Photography Kittiwake Cottage Mousehole Lane Mousehole Cornwall HI, March 16 Shadows on St. Germain, by Nancy E. BowieDuring 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.
March 15 Finding and Playing Gaelic MusicDuring 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. March 13 Maternal Welsh Grandfather during WWIThe soldiers and sailors are onboard a ship. Edward Hughes is the first soldier on the left. His two stripes indicate he is a corporal. My Mom, Edna Bowie (hughes)identified her Welsh Dad. November 11 Two favourite images, and whySchooner, 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.
May 22 Bowie Crevasse FieldI 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. |
