Oh beautiful St. Ives

St. Ives is a place I visited back in June and has since left me with the constant longing of wanting to go back. It is a truly picturesque place which is an ideal setting for artists. The entire time I felt the urge to grab some paints and just sit looking out to sea and attempt to capture the setting as best as I can. I don't think I've ever connected with a place so deeply. It's difficult to explain but I just completely fell in love. 
Maybe it was a combination of the place I'm in right now in my life, or the company I was with or even just the place itself. St. Ives is a place I know already I will be drawn back to, as it seems to have captured something in me I can't seem to forget. It's captured something in me like it seems to have done within anyone who is lucky enough to visit this beautiful little part of the world. One day I will return eagerly clutching a bag full of art supplies, and I shall not leave until I have spent all my money on prints/postcards of local artists amazing works and sampled a sausage roll and pasty from every pastry shop. 
Until that day arrives I shall leave you with some photos which should capture why I love St. Ives so much.
