So my best friends and I always make fun cake creations for each other's birthdays, and this year I made a request for the cake theme: NCIS: LA and/or Densi cake! (this friend is the one who got me into the show in the first place! And she's the one I made the croquembouche for last year.)
And boy, did she deliver! Densi adorned the outside, and "Sunshine and Gunpowder" filled the inside of this delicious, vanilla cake with lemon buttercream!

Our heroes: Are the island of misfit toys.
What important things did we learn about:
Callen: Looking for Hetty through Zasha and now Harris Keane.
Sam: Tending to his father with Kam.
Kensi: Admits a case about an abandoned baby is unfair in their situation.
Deeks: Finds the missing and dying mother, figures out when the attack happened.
Fatima: Helping Callen find Hetty.
Rountree: Back after some time away.
Kilbride: Worried about Callen.
What not so important things did we learn about:
Callen: Bodyslamming the suspect.
Sam: Absent.
Kensi: World’s worst storyteller.
Deeks: More Alice in Chains than “Agnes of God”.
Fatima: Had her best scene in the missing extended scene.
Rountree: Walks into a mostly empty office.
Kilbride: You can call him Admiral.
Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Hopefully not Syria.
Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks deal with the elephant in the room – they’re on the ship investigating the discovery of the child. All is well with Callen and Anna until they learn they’ve got company.
Who's down with BrOTP: Not a lot of BrOTP opportunities here – Sam’s away, Rountree has a short few scenes with Callen. The Admiral and Nate are colleagues, not buddies.
Fashion review: Callen wears a dark blue sweater in the boat shed. In the office, a blue and white button down shirt. No Sam today. Kensi is in an oatmeal colored henley with a black NCIS windbreaker. Off-white sweater for Deeks under the black NCIS windbreaker. Fatima is wearing an oversized (really oversized) jacket over a grey turtleneck. Rountree has on a dark green jacket with a black tee-shirt. Charcoal grey suit for the Admiral with a pale blue dress shirt and a dark blue tie with little white diamonds.
Music: No music today.
Any notable cut scene: In an extended scene, after Kensi and Deeks meet Agent Morgan and Deeks explains he’s special even if he isn’t a Special Agent, Kensi and Deeks share a little couples talk to the surprise of Morgan. They explain they’re married.
Also extended is the Fatima-Admiral scene in Ops. When he tells her she’s going for a walk, that impresses Fatima. The Admiral says they were quite common before the invention of the electric scooter. Fatima works the joke, saying she heard walks were quite common back in the day - “Sounds dreadful.” The Admiral admires Fatima’s sense of humor but warns her not to make it a habit. He has enough jokers to deal with.
At the end of the day, Fatima walks into the Admiral’s office with a ton of paperwork he’s hoping isn’t for him. It is. The Admiral asks if Fatima knows of any FOIA requests filed by Callen. She does not. The Admiral will just ask Callen instead. With Callen and Rountree still processing the suspect and Kensi and Deeks making their way back from the Carrier, she’d like to go home. As she leaves, Nate arrives, noting the office really is like a fishbowl.
Quote: Admiral: “I'm not worried about Sam. Kensi, either, for that matter. Deeks, on the other hand's, a basket case, but I don't need you to tell me that. No, it's Callen that I'm worried about.”
Honorable mention:
Nate: “Admiral Kilbride?”
Admiral: “Dr. Getz.”
Nate: “Please, you can call me Nate.”
Admiral: “Nate. You can still call me Admiral.”
Perhaps two of the most Admiral Kilbride interactions ever.
Anything else: A Navy jet is flying off an aircraft carrier at night. The Roving Watch and Security Watch is checking the ship. One of the sailors walking the watch sees an open hatch to a storage area. He finds blood on the floor. Calling out for whoever is injured, nobody replies. The sailor calls in the open hatch and some blood he found. Under a pile of clothing, he finds a baby.
In the boatshed, ZNN is covering an apparent car-bombing that killed several people in Syria. Callen is on the phone to someone wanting an update on the bombing as soon as possible. He isn’t worried about the time of the call. Anna arrives with some food. Callen is worried that Hetty is in Syria.
In Syria, the locals are digging people out of the rubble and tending to the injured and dead. A woman walks among the workers – it is Zasha. She’s calling Callen with the news that Hetty is not there. Hetty had a meeting with al-Kalmira, the target of the bombing. Zasha checked the wounded in the hospital and all the dead – Hetty’s not among them. Callen wouldn’t be surprised if Hetty called in the military strike against al-Kalmira. He’s al Qaeda. Zasha thinks it is the last meeting Hetty will have in Syria since all her contacts were “blown to hell” in the bombing. Callen thinks if Hetty got out, so did al-Kalmira. When Callen tells Zasha to call him when she finds out where Hetty is, Zasha pushes back – what if she doesn’t call. “You will,” Callen tells her in a rather ominous tone. A man starts staring at Zasha. She ends the call and takes off.
Rountree arrives to an empty office – “and then there was one.” Fatima comes down from Ops welcoming Rountree back. He asks where everyone is. Callen is working a case, Sam’s dad had a fall so Sam and Kam are dealing with that, Kensi and Deeks are on their way to the USS Allegiance, doing exercises off the coast, working a case about a “rather unusual incident” on the carrier. Rountree guesses Russian dolphins. Fatima tells him about the baby.
Landing on the carrier, Kensi and Deeks are met by Special Agent Afloat Denise Morgan. Kensi explains that Deeks is an investigator, not a Special Agent but Deeks says he’s special nonetheless. Moving a little deeper into the carrier, Deeks brings up the “stork visit”. Morgan is keeping things quiet at the skipper’s request. The baby was flown to San Diego and is in the NIC Unit because the baby was premature but appears healthy. The ship doctor estimates the baby was conceived on-board, so the father is a crew member. There are over 400 women on the Allegiance and every single one of them is of childbearing age. Morgan asks if either Kensi or Deeks have children. They don’t – “not yet.”
Asking about the baby, Kensi and Deeks learn she’s a girl. Morgan’s big concern is that clock is ticking on finding the child’s mother. Bringing Kensi and Deeks to the ship’s doctor, the doctor explains that no placenta was found. It could have been disposed in a trash bin or thrown overboard. But if the placenta was retained, the mother could die of sepsis. Kensi asks if anyone is in sickbay with symptoms that would match sepsis. The doctor wished someone was in sickbay – she could treat the mother. Morgan matched the blood from the storage unit where the baby was found with the crew. The mother is A+, which is about 34% of the population or 165 sailors on the carrier. All 165 have been accounted for.
Kensi asks where was the baby found. Morgan says a cargo hold in a secluded part of the ship. The mother probably had the baby there because she wouldn’t be seen or heard delivering the child. The umbilical cord as cut cleanly and tied off with a standard issue bootlace. The baby was wrapped in coveralls and a tee-shirt belonging to a sailor who swears he had nothing to do with all this.
Deeks asks why there wasn’t a ship-wide announcement about the baby. The doctor made that call with the CO. The mother is obviously distraught, unable to share her condition with anyone. The doctor fears the announcement would cause her to panic, possibly hurt herself or “God forbid, jump overboard.” The new mom only has a few hours before either infection sets in or she bleeds out.
Fatima is on the phone with Callen, who is still at the boatshed with Anna sleeping on the couch. He wants to know about the bombing. All Fatima has is that it was an Air Force operation and the Air Force is not sharing with NCIS. She suggests bringing Kilbride into this but Callen says no. He thinks someone else would have intel – maybe Sidney Jones at Homeland or Sabatino. Callen would also like anything NCIS has on al-Kalmira before ending the call. Anna wakes up and asks if anything has changed. It hasn’t. Anna is worried that Callen hasn’t slept. She recommends some fresh air and some real coffee since the boatshed coffee “sucks.”
In the Allegiance interrogation room, Kensi and Deeks are questioning Petty Officer Hill, who found the baby. The hatch being opened caught his eye. He thought the prior person on Roving Watch accidentally left it opened but he saw the blood the floor and knew something happened. Kensi asks what was in the storage area. It is line and cables that get warn out while at sea. He did not hear any from the hold until he pulled the coveralls off the baby and shined his flashlight on her. Then he heard a lot of crying. Deeks asks what is the word around the ship about the incident. Hill only told his commanding officer and the master at arms. He was told to keep quiet and he did.
Next up is Officer Forest, whose coveralls were found with the baby. He has no idea how they got there but he hopes they kept “him” warm. When Kensi tells Forest “him” is a girl, Forest seems genuinely pleased. Deeks wonders if Forest heard about a pregnant crewmember. He did not and was told not to talk about what was going on with anyone. And he has not. Forest has a girlfriend in Nebraska – he’s going to get engaged on his next leave.
Kensi and Deeks ask how the coveralls wound up with the baby. Forest says they could have been taken from his rack. Asked if he didn’t notice they were missing from his weekly laundry, Forest explains that there are 5,000 sailors on the Allegiance. The laundry bags area often filled with other people’s belongings. He regularly gets bras and panties.
As the Admiral walks into the Ops, Fatima clears the screen. She was speaking to a lieutenant but ends the call. The Admiral gets a sitrep on the baby – who is doing fine. Asking for Callen, the Admiral is told he’s working a case. “Color me lucky, the Admiral replies. Fatima offers to call in him but Kilbride does not want to interrupt Callen’s Reiki session, “or whatever it is he’s really up to.” The Admiral wants Fatima to text him when Callen arrives.
Walking on the beach with some coffee, Anna tells Callen that when she’s can smell the ocean, she always feels safe. She asks Callen what makes him feel safe, he says she does. Anna likes the answers but knows she’s lying. Callen wants to know about the Institute of Noble Maidens, how Anna’s mother enrolled Anna to anger Arkady, how Arkady tried to get her out but Anna refused. She admits to all of it – she felt badly turning Arkady away but she liked the place. She got to ride horses, shoot guns, crash cars – “It was fun.” She chose to stay. She thought it was cruel but she not only survived but thrived.
Confused, Callen tells Anna that Arkady would have taken care of her. Anna thinks Arkady’s way of taking care of her would have been an all-girls school on a private island that shoots boys on sight. Callen is lucky Arkady likes him. Anna asks if Callen is thinking about this because of Hetty. Is he worried that she’s in trouble or is he worried that if she doesn’t survive her trouble, he’ll never know about his past. “Probably both.” Anna doesn’t know about Callen’s past but Hetty loves him a like a son. Callen brings up a mother who manipulates her son. Anna replies that all mothers manipulate their children – that how they get the children to do things. Asked if he thinks about where he would be with Hetty, Callen thinks Florida or Alaska, maybe a fireman in Idaho. Anna suggests a farmer and Callen could see that. Callen could too – with a dog and kids. She asks him if that’s what he wants. He isn’t sure. “Maybe you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
The Commanding Officer gets on the PA explaining a blood shortage. All female crew members with A-positive blood must report to sickbay immediately, all male crew members will do the same tomorrow. This is a way to narrow down the field. Kensi is going to talk to the ship’s chaplain. A top gun pilot walks by, checking Kensi out and she does the same. Kensi admits top gun pilots are badasses but so is Deeks. Deeks isn’t biting – he’s more interested in the elephant in the room. They are desperate to have a child and they are investigating a mother who abandoned hers. Kensi considers it all unfair. Deeks goes back to top gun pilots – she really thinks they are badasses? Kensi likes the uniforms. Deeks reminds her he wore one as a cop.
As they banter about Deeks being a cop, Kensi realizes the mother left the baby to be found. If she wanted to hide the baby, she could have thrown her overboard. She could have smothered the baby. These are fairly horrifying thoughts to Deeks. Wrapping the baby up to keep her warm, tying off the umbilical cord, leaving the light on so someone would find her – the baby’s mother wanted the baby to found. Deeks is confused. Kensi is sure the mother did everything to keep the baby safe and they can use that to find her.
In Syria, Zasha is trying to talk to some female locals but is surrounded by four men with rifles. As they close in on Zasha, a man on a motorcycle pulls up and tells her got get on in English. The two ride off with Zasha firing her pistol at the men with rifles to ensure their getaway.
In the sickbay, the ship’s doctor is taking the temperatures of five or so female sailors. All are normal and are sent to return to their duties. The doctor has check 35 women, Morgan checked 19 who couldn’t leave their posts. Deeks spoke to the chaplain, no help there. The ship doctor is going to talk to the CO about a ship wide announcement – the mother is running out of time. Morgan suggests Kensi and Deeks grab a list of untested female sailors and a digital thermometer so they can join in on the testing.
Along a pier, Nate walks up to Admiral Kilbride. Nate wonders why they’re meeting by the beach. The Admiral works in a fishbowl in the office. Besides, it is a beautiful day. LA’s only appeal is the weather outside of the earthquakes, mudslides and fires. Nate wants to know why the Admiral wants to see him. As the team psychologist and someone who ran numerous off the books assignments for “Henrietta”, “just tell me what the hell she’s gotten herself into.”
Nate is evasive, asking what does the Admiral know. He knows she’s in Syria and she made a mess of her mole hunt. What he doesn’t know is if the latest drone strike – it wasn’t a suicide bombing after all – had anything to do with her. Hetty was in Syria to negotiate the release of several hostages. The Admiral asks who are the hostages but Nate does not know. Nate did a profile of the al Qaeda leader for Hetty. He hasn’t heard from her in a few days with no way of reaching her. Hetty calls him, not the other way around.
The Admiral asks if one of the profiles Nate did was on al-Kalmira. It was. “Son of a bitch, we don’t know what the guy looks like and she’s having lunch with him.” The Admiral thinks Hetty called in the drone strike herself (sharing a brain with Callen). Nate wouldn’t put it past her. “Nor should you,” the Admiral replies. Without much else to offer, Nate apologies. As the Admiral is about to leave, he asks a favor. He’d like some professional insight into the rest of the team. Nate is reticent again. The Admiral doesn’t care who wets the bed, he needs help dealing “with this island of misfit toys I’ve inherited.” He’s looking to avoid pitfalls to make the team better. The team being better can save lives, “notably mine.”
Racing into Ops, Callen learns from Fatima she can’t confirm if Hetty or al-Kalmira were there before or after the bombing. Callen gets a call from Zasha. She’s in trouble but was helped by an American. Callen wants to talk to the American. They play “who are you?” for a while but recognize the others’ voice. Callen is talking to Harris Keane. Keane was Hetty’s overwatch until the bombing – “I’m still coughing up dust.” After the bombing, Hetty was gone. She either ran off just before the bombing or went underground just after. Keane hasn’t heard from her. There is no sign she was killed.
Hetty is negotiating the release of two Western journalists, which is a surprise to Callen. It isn’t to Keane since the journalists are actually NCIS staffers Hetty had on a long undercover assignment. They were captured and she’s trying to get them back. Keane doesn’t know the name of the journalists/NCIS Agents. That’s to keep them safe if he is compromised. Saying the locals are freaking out (they just got bombed, it’s hardly outrageous), Keane has a rather large war chest from Hetty to keep them moving around.
Zasha is worried they are about to be found, they need to wrap up the call. Callen asks Keane to keep him in the loop. He also asks about his version of the Noble Maidens. If Hetty dies, all that information dies with her. Keane admits there was a remedial reading program run by the Department of Education but really by the CIA. It was the Drona Project. Zasha cuts off the call. Keane has some vodka for them to share.
With a digital thermometer, Kensi and Deeks are checking some of the female staffers with A-positive blood. Kensi decides to look again around the cargo area while Deeks keeps taking some temperatures. When Deeks is turned down by two female pilots, he decides to find Kensi. He does after wandering around a bit. In the storge area, Deeks finds the mother unconscious but with a pulse.
As the medical team tries to stabilize the mother, she’s identified as Petty Officer Third Class Sofia Addison, a model sailor. Unfortunately, she’s battling sepsis and has lost a lot of blood. She’s getting treatment but isn’t out of the woods yet. Morgan tells Kensi and Deeks that Addison would be dead if they didn’t find her. Kensi is beside herself – they should have been looking for her earlier. Deeks thinks the real issue is finding the father because if Addison doesn’t make it, that baby girl needs her dad. Kensi admits she hates the case. Deeks would rather be shot at by bad guys.
A sailor named Elger is looking into the sickbay window. Deeks asks if they could do something for him. He’d like to know about the status of Petty Officer Addison. They’re good friends. Kensi wants to know how good of friends. Elger says they were great friends. Kensi and Deeks push – were they having sex? Kensi tells him about the baby and Elger is shocked. Deeks brings up a DNA test and they will know who the father is soon – would Elger agree to a test? “Absolutely.” If he isn’t the father, Kensi asks who would Elger think the father could be. No boyfriends on the ship or back at home.
Elger explains that Addison was insecure and intimidated by men. Kensi points out she wasn’t intimidated by him. Elger thinks it was because they’re friends and probably because he’s gay. Addison got along well with the gay men on the ship but not the straight men. She even asked to be removed from escort duty. Deeks asks about escort duty. Elger explains that junior officers are asked to bring around civilian visitors so they don’t get lost, “fall overboard or get sucked into a jet engine.”
Returning to his office, Fatima provides a sitrep on the mother. The Admiral offers a “well done” which Fatima can pass along to Kensi and Deeks.
In their interrogation room, Kensi asks Deeks if he saw “Agnes of God”. He mentions Alice in Chains so no, he hasn’t seen it. Kensi explains the plot – a nun has a baby that she considers a virgin birth. Deeks asks if the nun abandoned her baby. She did, which catches Deeks’s attention. Kensi doesn’t remember the end of the movie, making Kensi the world’s worst storyteller according to Deeks.
Reviewing the paperwork, Deeks finds that Addison was still on escort duty around the time the baby was conceived and she was bringing around some civilian contractors. The request to leave the assignment came right after that. Morgan comes into the room – Addison is awake.
In the sickbay, Addison is on pain meds but doing better. Kensi and Deeks gently question Addison. Deeks asks what she remembers. She doesn’t remember delivering the baby. Deeks asks if one of the other sailors on the Allegiance is the father. Addison says no. Kensi asks about the civilian contractor and Addison reacts. Kensi tells Addison she’s not in trouble. She asks if Addison and the contractor were in a relationship. She denies it. When Deeks asks about contacting the father, Addison starts crying. “He raped me.”
A furious Kensi calls in the rapist’s name, Gary Drummond, and his employer, Ashitom Solutions, to Ops. He works computer software for the DoD. Kensi wants everything done by the book – she wants him to go to jail for what he did.
While Callen fills out a Freedom of Information Act request at his desk, Rountree arrives with news of the rapist. Callen and Rountree are on their way. Arriving at a fancy tech firm, Callen and Sam can’t get anyone’s attention – everyone is wearing headphones. Rountree finds their suspect working way. Tapping on his headphones, Callen gets Drummond’s attention. Drummond tries to blow Callen off. Callen cuts the power to Drummond’s work station. When Rountree explains he’s under arrest and tries to cuff Drummond, Drummond starts yelling about assault. Callen brings up what happened to Petty Officer Addison as true assault but Drummond plays dumb. When Rountree gives him one last chance to go quietly, he takes a swing only to be put on the ground with great force by Callen. None of his headphone wearing coworkers even notice.
Medics are taking Addison to San Diego for more treatment and to be reunited with her daughter. Kensi has a photo of the Addison’s daughter and “even though she came from a very ugly place, she’s a really beautiful little girl. She’s a fighter like her Mom.” Kensi asks if Addison wants to see the photo, she does. As Addison is being taken away, she asks for Kensi one last time. Asking Kensi’s first name, Addison says she is going to name her baby Evelyn after her mother. Deeks teases Kensi about Addison running away from naming her baby Kensi.
Later that night, Nate joins the Admiral in his office and agrees it is a fishbowl. The Admiral thinks the office is like working at a peep show without the tips. Since the health and safety of the team is his top concern, Nate is there to help.
A cocky Gary Drummond says the classified nature of his work means NCIS can’t make him talk. Rountree doesn’t care about his work, he cares about the woman Drummond raped. Drummond says “some dumb sailor chick gets knocked up” and to save her boyfriend from court martial he’s being blamed. Callen and Rountree are so disgusted they have Castor take him from interrogation. Rountree offers to driving Callen back to the office but Anna is picking him up.
The Admiral sums up the team to Nate. He doesn’t work about Sam, Kensi either. “Deeks on the other hand is a basket case,” but the Admiral thinks Nate knows that. His major concern is Callen. When the Admiral asks Nate about something called Drona, Nate brings up “Dronacharya”. It is a teacher of military arts in a Hindu story.
The Admiral explains that Drona was a project in the heyday of the Cold War to teach underprivileged children. Foster children were tested under the guise of looking for learning disabilities to identify those who were “gifted” despite their lots in life. “I’m not going to like this, am I?” Nate says to the Admiral. Neither of them do. Saying it is similar to a Soviet training plan. Nate thought this was an urban legend. The Admiral knows Hetty was involved as was a young Callen as a subject.
Worried that Callen could react badly when Hetty returns so Nate is going to be around for damage control. Not only could things go south between Hetty and Callen, it could sink the team. Callen is the team’s biggest worry.
In the boatshed, Callen is leaving a message for Zasha when Anna walks in. But Anna is stunned to see Callen since she’s Facetiming with him on her phone. Showing Callen the phone, he is talking to himself on the phone. Phone Callen tells real Callen to get some rest. It won’t be fun to come after him if he’s not at his best.
What head canon can be formed from here: More of the unending Callen backstory. Yawn. There were some nice callbacks in this episode from the Allegiance, to the Russian dolphins, to the return of Nate and the return of Katya with the identity stealing software.
The Kensi and Deeks scenes were all twinged with a little sadness that if they had a daughter, she’d be loved and cared for at all costs. Hearing the whole story, however, gets the team rightly infuriated.
The Admiral has to be a fun character to write for and Gerald McRaney hits it out the park with every line of dialogue. I’m rarely bothered about cut scenes – the show has a good history of recycling them – but the scene between the Admiral and Fatima discussing taking a walk needs to used. They were wonderful.
Finally, the male sailors on the Allegiance were interesting characters and good men. The sailor whose clothing was used to keep the baby warm was happy that it was his clothes keeping the baby warm. Elger hanging outside of the sick bay checking to see if Addison was OK – that’s a really good compare/contrast with the software rapist.
Episode number: This is episode 11 of season 13 – the halfway point! It is episode 291 overall.

Day 5: Cyril Ritchard
This is the one in 1954 but also 1960. This version is very popular…don't get why.
More notes & links in Keep Reading.
Peter Pan (1954), directed by Jerome Robbins, is an authorized musical stage adaptation with music by Mark "Moose" Charlap and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh. Taking the opposite path of the 1950 adaptation, it was originally to have only a few incidental songs but evolved into a full Broadway musical with some new songs from composer Jule Styne and lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. This version became widely known as a vehicle for Mary Martin, who appeared in three television productions of this version and won a Best Musical Actress Tony Award for her performance as well as an Emmy when it was aired on television. Cyril Ritchard won a Tony as Captain Hook in the Broadway production opposite Martin and reprised the role in the first television production opposite her, and it is the role for which he has remained best known. Revivals featured television actress Sandy Duncan and gymnast Cathy Rigby as Peter. A 2014 TV version was broadcast by NBC as Peter Pan Live!
The red highlight will come up later.
Here is a video of one of the songs with Hook singing. Cringy…
youtube
That's from the 1960s.
So this version of Hook lost his mustache..damn it. He still has his hair though. He also has the hook on his right hand.
And here is a link to Spotify for you folks…

See The Heavens The Way Ancient Britons Did At This Dark Sky Park
In Cornwall—Home to Hundreds of Neolithic and Bronze Age Structures—‘Archaeoastronomy’ Tours Explore the Link Between the Moon, the Stars, and Human History.
— By Richard Collett | March 14, 2023
In Britain’s newest dark sky park, the celestial tapestry above is deeply connected to an unsually rich archaeological landscape below.
Across Cornwall’s exposed peninsula of storm-ravaged cliffs and wind-blown moors, Neolithic people built stone structures guided by the constellations as long ago as 4000 B.C. In total, about 700 Neolithic and Bronze Age structures across 115 square miles in what is now West Penwith Dark Sky Park have helped shape the landscape of Britain’s southwest. Some structures point to the heavens, others are stacked over burial chambers or built in circles around ritual zones. All sit on a bed of granite veined with copper and tin.
This long-exposure photo shows star trails above Mên-an-Tol (Cornish for “the stone with a hole”) in Cornwall. Women would climb through the hole in the 3,500-year-old granite stone during fertility festivals, such as Imbolc, which marked the start of spring and the onset of new life in the Celtic calendar. Photograph By Duncan Scobie
“This is an ancient landscape with an ancient skyscape, and we can all connect with it in some way,” says astrophysicist Carolyn Kennett, who leads “archaeoastronomy” tours, an emerging interdisciplinary field that investigates the use of astronomy in ancient civilizations.
These “low-light” tours that begin at dusk explore the intertwined nature of the moon, stars, and human history. They’re a unique way to experience this sparsely populated wild coast, with its popular summertime beaches. Walking among ancient structures, travelers connect with local heritage while gazing at the sky above.
The Rise of Astro Tourism in Cornwall
Internationally recognized dark sky areas are nothing new in the United Kingdom. There are 14 total International Dark Sky Parks and International Dark Sky Reserves designated by the International Dark-Sky Association, from parts of Cairngorms National Park in Scotland to South Downs, the newest national park in England.
While West Penwith’s distinct coastal and moorland features have long been protected as part of the wider Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), West Penwithians pushed to preserve the night sky here as well.
“It’s not just about stargazing,” says Sue James, mayor of St. Just, a town in West Penwith, who led the area’s dark sky park committee. Indeed, West Penwith doesn’t even have an observatory. “The International Dark Sky Park is as much about archaeology, wildlife, creative arts, and photography as it is about astronomy.”
In the long term, preserving the night sky helps safeguard an ancient landscape in a modern economy. Any future developments in West Penwith must now limit light pollution.
And that’s just fine with resident Judith Summers, who values the ability to step out into her garden and take a photo of Jupiter on her mobile phone. “The night sky is part of our culture here,” she says. “We don’t want to lose it.”
Land of Giants and Daring Maidens
On a late February afternoon, Kennett leads her first tour of the season in Boskednan Moor, an area with a particularly high density of ancient sites, about five miles east of St. Just in the dark sky park.
By 3:45 p.m., the sun is already dipping low on the horizon. Participants walk a rock-strewn lane sunken into the earth by centuries of footfalls by farmers and livestock. It leads to an ancient granite boundary. In the field just beyond, the Bronze Age (2500-700 B.C.) standing stone, Mên Scryfa, marks the burial place of a king, nobleman, or warrior.
This composite image blends two photographs to depict what remains of St. Helen’s Oratory, in Chapel Field below Cape Cornwall. The ruins are said to date as far back as Roman times. The chapel and the promontory of Cape Cornwall make a dazzling backdrop for the Milky Way in the southwest. Photograph By Su Bayfield
“The stone with writing,” as it’s called in Cornish, points due north to align with Carn Galva, a rocky outcropping capping a hill, or tor. It was an important focal point some 6,000 years ago, says Kennett, and even today is steeped in local mythology.
In the 19th century, William Bottrell wrote in Traditions and Hearthside Stories in West Cornwall, that Carn Galva was inhabited by a friendly giant who protected local villagers from other giants. The tors and rock formations on the moor were the remnants of battles fought between mythological titans that shaped the landscape.
Tales of behemoth beings are commonplace in Celtic cultures like Cornwall’s. Kennett believes that many of these stories are in fact derived from celestial movements over landmarks such as Carn Galva, which could have been the focus of religious ceremonies or processions.
For example, she notes that a Christian version of a local folk story says Boskednan Stone Circle, better known as the Nine Maidens, are the petrified remains of local women who dared dance on the Sabbath. However, Kennett theorizes that this stone arrangement, as well as others on Boskednan Moor, were aligned with celestial movements thousands of years before Christianity arrived in Britain.
One possible explanation is that the circle is a lunar observation site. Viewed from the circle itself, the moon passes directly over Carn Galva at the end of the Metonic cycle, when it returns to its exact starting position every 19 years.
“Lunar events happen first thing in the morning when the sun rises and the moon sets, so your shadow would be long if you were facing Carn Galva from Boskednan Stone Circle,” Kennett notes. “You would become a giant as you walked through barrows towards a tor that could be worshiped as a god, possibly.”
“But West Penwith is full of stories,” she continues. “You have to take them all with a pinch of salt.”

Auburn Al Wedding Photographers at The Sterling Castle
Event Details: Carolyn and Tyler Duncan
Inspection Date: Sept 24, 2022
Inspection Personnel: Bryan K for Eleven 11 Photography
Written by Auburn Al wedding photographers:
Believe it or not The Sterling Castle is a working house on a private lake. I mean when this family isn’t hosting weddings they actually reside on this property. And it must be a blessed existence because Sterling Castle is everything you could want from a wedding venue.
There is a ceremony area set right down on the lake that is just to die for. Its got fantastic sight lines so that all you guests will see everything yet not block the photographers shot or the couples reaction to one of them walking down the aisle. Its so extremely well thought out.
And if you are looking for something a little cozier the new outdoor chapel lets you beat the heat of summers hottest days while still having an outdoor affair. It’s large, breeze and quiet will still being cozy. It’s beautifully constructed and the nightlines are gorgeous no matter which way you look.
The Sterling Castle is also chock full of little corners and getaways for a private moment. And it’s one fo the few wedding venues in the state that pays as much attention to the “groom’s suite” as it does to the “brides” (their terms y’all).
