Tuscany - Summer Time
| |
|
|
|
What wonders exist in our world when we see scenes like this. Taken near Siena in Tuscany.
The Kyle of Durness
| |
|
|
|
As the sun starts to drop behind the mountains, a beautiful thing starts to happen to these shifting sands -they display different colours each time you look. A place to meditate and loose one's troubles.

A splendid spot, especially when one is alone with only the sound of birds and the odd splash as a fish jumps.
Red in Blue 2

|
These reflections are actually of the Läppstiftet Konferens building in Gothenburg, Sweden. Enjoy!
Ahoy there.

|
|
|
Just at the side of the Göta Kanal in Gothenburg, Sweden lies this memorial to the age of sail, albeit on land. In an case, making for an attractive photo in this contre-jour misty setting. Enjoy
Winter in Cyprus
| |
|
|
|
A little oasis looking more like Spring than mid Winter. Seen near the Salt Lake of Larnaca.
Enjoy!
A pier of Ayia Napa
| |
|
Between Ayia Nappa and its Nissi Beach lie a few small coves and bays. Here at one of them sits this old pier. In Summer this would be crowded of course.

The landscapes of Cyprus
| |
|
|
Cyprus has a surprising amount of varying landscapes. We see here the Spring greens of vineyards and sandy hill tracks. Taken from the Stavronvouni monastery car park near Larnaca.
Coastal Cyprus
| |
|
|
|
The coast around Protaras is generally very tranquil but after a storm out to sea we can see here that it is not always safe to take a dip.
A Cyprus church
| |
|
|
|
Not too far away from the bustling resort of Ayai Napa stands the little church of Ayii Anargyri, Cape Greco. A nice spot for a wedding I believe.
City Bridge
| |
|
|
|
The lifting bridge at Salford Keys, Manchester. A new bridge going over one of the many waterways at these keys, from 'The Lowery Centre' to Imperial Point. A lot of glass around here, hence the interesting reflections too.
Lone Autumn tree spotlighted.
| |
|
|
|
Enjoy this scene which is fairly natural as the sun lit up the tree and foreground on this Autumn day. Moments later the scene was back in shadow.
A Crummock Water weir.
| |
|
|
|
The river outlet at the Northern end of this wonderful stretch of water here in the English Lake District is an ideal spot to relax and take in the splendours of this scene.
The Green Knight, wheel detail

Enjoy this Standard 4.6.0 class British Steam Engine up close. Smell the oil and steam!
Winter postcard from Dovestones
| |
|
|
|
A Winter scene from my favourite walking area, Dovestones reservoir, Greenfield, Oldham, Lancashire, UK.. Taken on a perfect Sunday afternoon after our first snow of the Season. Enjoy.
ps this is actually yeoman Hey Reservoir, the next reservoir to Dove Stones.
Winter mist at Lees
| |
|
|
|
Just a stroll from my home, this fenced bend attracts me like a moth to flame. Taken on the onset of our first snowfall of the winter of 2014/15
Incoming storm at Buttermere
| |
|
|
|
As the play of light alters by the second and the threat of heavy rain is imminent I share this view towards 'Haystacks'. Buttermere can just be seen at the centre bottom here.
A corner of Chester

Chester, UK, the old Roman fortified town has many charms. Here is just one of them.
