Colourful Mevagissey Harbour in Spring, Cornwall, England.

            Commentary.

An archetypal Cornish fishing village.
Along with Brixham, Newlyn and the likes of Looe or Polperro,
Mevagissey has all of the features
that make Cornish fishing villages and towns, so popular.
An Inner and Outer Harbour.
The granite sea-walls.
The plethora of large and small vessels,
both “working” and “leisure.”
The encircling slopes of multi-coloured
“local” and “holiday” dwellings.
Inns, ice-cream parlours,
Fish and Chip and Souvenir shops
line the narrow lanes in all directions.
The piercing call of the ubiquitous seagull
and the constant manoeuvres of boats of all kinds.
Lanes throng with locals and visitors.
The salty-air permeates the harbour and
the surrounding buildings that tumble down to the harbour,
like lines of coloured bunting on a string.
Such is Mevagissey,
and long may it remain so.
