Pittenweem High Street

Pittenweem High Street
Pittenweem... is a fishing village and civil parish in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 1,747. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. "Pit-" represents Pictish pett 'place, portion of land', and "-enweem" is Gaelic na h-Uaimh, 'of the Caves' in Gaelic, so "The Place of the Caves". The name is rendered Baile na h-Uaimh in modern Gaelic, with baile, 'town, settlement', substituted for the Pictish prefix. The cave in question is almost certainly St Fillan's cave, although there are many indentations along the rocky shores that could have influenced the name. Quoted from Wikipedia

One of my favourite East Neuk villages. A lovely view of the church. Did you go into the chocolate shop ? It and the cafe next door are great.

Your leading lines are very effective without being obvious. My eyes raced through the photo to the church.
