Half-timbered buildings in the older part of Exeter.I stopped in Exeter on my way to St. Ives in Cornwall. Unfortunately, I seemed to have shot over my pictures of St. Ives, so I have no photos from there.
I enjoyed the bus and train rides through the rolling hills of Devon and Cornwall. St. Ives is known as an artists' town, so I wanted to go there. Sure enough, there are many galleries and a couple of good little museums. The color of the sea there is remarkable; artists say it's more like the Mediterranean than the Atlantic. That effect is more noticeable in summer, but the winter sea was beautiful, too, often more greenish than blue--a clear teal. I called it "mermaid green."
There are postcards which capture the color pretty well, so if you're ever in St. Ives, you might want to pick up a card or two.
