Lovely light in this pic! I want to swim in those waters! (dives into the photograph).

Love the boat on the beach. Atmospheric. I can feel that beach, I'm there in spirit, even though I've never been to that part of Cornwall.

River Camel estuary. Ah, interesting, I seem to remember the River Camel, when studying a map of the Saints Way. Interesting trail, the Saints Way.
