We had a little rain today, but this has been a hot summer—I just took this photo from my window, it's Central Park, across the street from me, but one would never know that the photo was taken July 13th!

I took this one a couple of days ago, from a moving car going north on Manhattan's West Side Highway. Nothing special about the photo itself, but I always thought this was an interesting looking building.

A few images from the King Ranch today:

Santa Gertrudis cattle with the King Ranch brand (the running W):

Originally called the Santa Gertrudis Ranch, until some time after Richard King's passing in 1885:

Thanks, Aggie. Cornwall is where my heart lies...hope to retire there in a few years.

Nice flora shouts, alocispepraluger102. I love trying to get abstract pictures out of the natural world - I get very strange looks as I point my camera into rock pools or cliff faces!

You'll be very welcome down here, Bev. I think I recognise that boathouse shot as Trevarno ( ? ).

Trevarno indeed - the normal publicity shot, but I couldn't resist!

I thought of you as I whizzed up to Wheal Coates one night to catch the sunset, passing signs to Mount Hawke (was staying at the campsite the otherside of Tehidy Park. One of my favourite cafes in the world lies just a mile or so away at Hell's Mouth. The breakfasts are amazing!)

Was staying up near Rock a few days later (before Cameron got there and started misusing village names) - unfamiliar territory for me. Stumbled on this while walking the headland:

Didn't know that.

Neither did I, but there's a lot I don't know about Cornwall. There's a good cafe/restaurant at Porthtowan called The Blue Bar which also does great breakfasts ( and other meals ).

I'll remember that - I've been in the pub there. My cousin and his wife live in Porthtowan, immediately as you drive in after leaving the coast road.

Another favourite of mine is the National Trust tea shop at Carnewas by Bedruthan Steps. Gets busy but makes for a lovely 10.00 coffee followed by a decent onto that marvellous beach.

Don't know if you have followed Robert Fripp down the years but this might be of interest:

Travis & Fripp will be making their final UK appearances for 2010 in two beautiful churches in Cornwall in October. It is also their first appearance in the South West of England. The performances are as follows-

Friday, 29th Oct (7.30pm) Falmouth, Cornwall. - All Saints Church, Killigrew St (01736 334 682)

Saturday, 30th Oct (7.30pm) Newlyn, Near Penzance, Cornwall . - St Peter's Church (01736 334 682)
