Polperro Two



The inner harbor of Polperro, a small fishing village in southern Cornwell, is well stocked with parked boats.  I read that this place was once a smugglers' capital, but now mainly attracts tourists.  When I was there, it was not very sunny, unfortunately, but at least the tide was in.  9x12 oil on panel.

Polperro


A souvenir of the ancient fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall.  These boats are in the inner harbor, protected by a large wall with a gate.  The buildings were whitewashed in the 20th century since all the 19th century photos in the local museum show them without the white.  9x12 oil on panel.
