Brainless sunny pics amidst all the science

Half western Europe was completely bewildered by the snow, but it took me only half an hour more than scheduled to get back from Durham to Plymouth. Not bad under any circumstance, and extra good after an exhausting conference.

The day after was beautiful. This wouldn't last! So I took a calm and modest walk in Cornwall. And that allows me to post some calm, pretty pictures, before the scientific violence inspired by the Durham conference breaks loose...

The entrance of nothing less than the the Royal William Victualling Yard

Pretty lichen

Lonely yet decorative tower

Not so lonely boat (see its little friend!) at low tide
