The coldest Saturday winter morning for years greets Mounts Bay.

Ashore, the rare sight of frost abounds while out to sea, another survey rig has appeared off the end of Penzance Harbour's lighthouse quay.......
under what looks like a snow-laden sky out to sea.....
the Trinity House vessel Patricia is hard at work on her deck cargo of buoys keeping the shipping lanes safe.....
the rig is set against the Anglian Princess back on station.....
popular eatery, the bay, that makes good use of the finest fresh fish from Newlyn on its menu and always has an interesting show art local art on display in the restaurant.....

at this time of year the IOS helicopter service runs flat out as a flurry of holiday makers, residents and relatives ply back and forth.
