Whitewashed Houses

Lower Castle Road. St Mawes.

These old cottages line the road from the harbour up to the castle . Looking splendid in their coat of white paint. I suppose whitewash is an old fashioned name for the white paint that coats so many buildings in Cornwall. Its probably full of modern chemicals to help it last for years.

The photo would have been in colour with the harbour beyond but we had just had a rain shower and grey clouds still lingered so a change to B+W and shooting up hill was a better bet.
