The beautiful coastal town of Parga is the setting of this scene. A rather dull day for me but I have kept this picture natural as it portrays a special feeling.

A walk along this shoreline brings a great reward. Not only do we have the Cape but also these sea caves.

Aboard our Boeing 737 at about 37,000ft up, it seems that we are not far from these mountain peaks but this has been zoomed somewhat and gives a false impression of closeness. Thankfully it was pleasant weather on our way through Germany towards Greece. Note also that it is late May and still enough snow for the skiers up these mountains. Afraid I do not know the exact location nor the name of the lake.

The old part of Corfu Town holds many attractions. It seems that almost around every bend something else beckons. Enjoy with me the colours and flavours of the wonderful spot.

Looking south from the top of the old fort Island. We see here the main promenade and newer part of the town. Below us are remains of the old fort and colonial barracks.

At the end of a little road, seemingly in the middle of nowhere is this marvellous little scene and if that was not enough we are treated to the blood-curdling toll of the single bell from the tower every 40 or so seconds. As I sit here, I spy a pleasure boat full of sightseers to go around the island in the hope of seeing the many puffins that give the Island its name. If not they may see the countless other birds or seals

This beautiful scenic valley near 'Church Stretton', Shropshire is not only a delight to walk but also to photograph. Here is one of the many smaller waterfalls.

A view from Ragleth Hill in Shropshire. I love it when in a sea of cloudy dull weathered landscape the sun peeps through the cloud and makes these spotlights.

A local walk for me as I wander around here once more. Dovestones reservoir in Greenfield near Oldham is the lowest of four reservoirs meeting here at Dovestones. Just in the distance here lies Yeoman Hey and beyond that Greenfield reservoir. In the feeder valley to this (Chew valley), at the very top, lies Chew reservoir, surrounded by high moorland. A beautiful gentle pram walk surrounds Dovestones and is taken advantage of by young and old alike.

Taken from Birchen Edge, Derbyshire, a reminder after a long Winter that Spring has arrived.

A distant view of dreams and history. Deep shadows rise up to the milky mist of this Spring day. Surrounded by trees, Chatsworth House can just be made out. Look further and you may see a deer or two.The river Derwent on the right, snakes through the grounds and just to the left of the great house you can just see the glinting waters of the formal lake.

Chatsworth House in Derbyshire is the setting for this view. The great house lies just right out of picture but these arches are easily as interesting. More info: www.chatsworth.org

Such a church could not lie in a more idyllic situation. This beach locally known as Golden Beach for obvious reasons gives us a stunning view towards the church here. Most of the year, one could never find this beach as empty as this. There are some advantages in visiting in early February

Balnakeil Bay in the very North West of Scotland is the setting for this glorious sunset. This was taken at 22.30 demonstrating how far North we are. Enjoy

This beautiful little bird, a resident of Northern Scotland, was one of a trio seen at Duncansby Head, Britain's most North Easterly point.

Silves in Portugal is the setting for this pair of Storks, famously returning as a pair, year after year to rebuild their nest and raise young. Hope you enjoy this silhouette.

For one week (at least) a year, the Yorkshire town of Whitby is invaded by Goths. Mainly because much of the book: Dracula, was based there. This character standing in the cemetery by Whitby Abbey has a certain appeal, don't you think!!!!
