Comes with sea view and it's own waterproof sheet.
Cooped up for the past few weeks, I've been losing the will to live. So on Ken's day off at the weekend, we ventured along Seaton Beach, to the blue lagoon. No its not somewhere like the Med and why it got that name, I've no idea lol!
The weather has been horrible lately. Yes I know, there's no such thing as bad weather lol!
Well the sky has been flat white, dullness, and I'm struggling to see what I can make of it.
I took a few images of the industry over at Teesbay but this image of the makeshift accommodation on the beach, made me smile.
It's not my usual capture from a beach scene but it's certainly a bit different.
I've spent the past week, looking tirelessly for somewhere to go at the end of Aug. It seems because of Covid, everyones had the same idea. Nothing to be had, as I don't really want to stay in a hotel. Maybe I need to build one like this :)
We settled in our accommodation and drove to the Grand Canyon for the sunset. Thunder and lightening was all around, we were on the north rim while there was a thunder storm and rain over the south rim. For us there was no sun and the view was disappointing, but every once in a while a shaft of sunlight would break through and illuminate the canyon below.
We went to three locations to view the canyon, the last stop was to watch the sunset. When the sun dipped below a bank of clouds on the western horizon the cliffs in the canyon came alive with colour. Over all, it was a great afternoon of photography.

Some flowering should happen soon in my area. Because of the winter week of February 15, blooming is delayed this year. Some buds froze.
This photo of daffodils was taken last February.

Correction:
It was built on the site of the Ribble Bus Station, not "a former children's hospital".
Update:
Since corrected.
After settling into Rifugio Fanes, our accommodation for the night, I wandered down to a nearby waterhole which I had noticed on our way there.
When I first got there, these peaks were dull as clouds were covering the sun, so I had been facing the opposite direction. But then I turned around a saw this! One of the best, if not the best view of the whole hike. And I was the only person there to enjoy it.
I process my photos with Lightroom as well as Skylum's Luminar and find it easy to use with great results. Here is a link if anyone is interested in trying it out: skylum.grsm.io/janetteasche8660
The Eshaness lighthouse in Shetland, Scotland, was built from concrete in 1929, the last manned lighthouse built by the famous Stevenson family. It was designed to keep ships away from the offshore Ve Skerries (rocky islands). It was not that effective, so a lighthouse was built on the Ve Skerries in 1979 to protect traffic to and from the heavily trafficked Sullom Voe terminal for North Sea oil. The lighthouse is now available for self-catering accommodation.

One of the accommodation buildings at Kersfontein, catching brilliant morning sunlight.
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.
Europe's most beautiful place, Lofoten islands, Norway
Thanks for your visit, hope you enjoyed, kindly leave your comment that will be very rewarding .
Lofoten islands is undoubtedly Europe's most beautiful place.
The brightly colored seaside wooden huts of the Lofoten Islands (rorbuer plural, or rorbu singular) are steeped in tradition, once housing scores of hardened fishermen who made the winter pilgrimage to the world’s most fertile cod fishing grounds. Fish are still the basis of all human settlement on Lofoten, but beginning in the 1960’s a number of the huts have been converted into accommodation for travelers. Visiting the Lofoten Islands and staying in a rorbu makes an already extraordinary experience even more distinctive.
Reine is the most scenic fishing village on the Lofoten Islands and the Reine Rorbuer are best in class .
Lying within the Arctic circle, Lofoten (Norwegian pronunciation: ['lu?fu?t?n]) is an archipelago and a traditional district in the county of Nordland, Norway. Lofoten is known for a distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands.
Enjoy the moment !!!!

Eisack Valley (Italian: Valle Isarco [ˈvalle iˈzarko]; German: Eisacktal) is a district (Italian: comprensorio; German: Bezirksgemeinschaft) in South Tyrol, Italy. It comprises the middle part of the valley of the Eisack, from Franzensfeste in the north to Waidbruck in the south.
Overview
The valley of the Eisack river stretches from Brenner Pass southwards down to its confluence with the Adige near Bolzano. The upper valley north of Franzensfeste is known as Wipptal, while the lower parts belong to the Salten-Schlern administrative district. The valley is part of a major transport route across the Eastern Alps, traversed by the Autostrada A22 (part of the European route E45) and the parallel Brenner Railway line.
According to the 2001 census, 85.76% of the population of the valley speak German, 13.22% Italian and 1.02% Ladin as first language.

Das Eisacktal (italienisch Valle Isarco, ladinisch Val dl Isarch) ist ein vom Eisack durchflossenes Alpental und eines der Haupttäler Südtirols in Italien. Wichtigste Stadt im Eisacktal ist Brixen.
Bezeichnung
Die Bezeichnung Eisacktal kann auf zwei verschiedene Arten verwendet werden:
Traditionell wird nur der Bereich von der Franzensfeste oder alternativ von der Sachsenklemme talabwärts als Eisacktal bezeichnet. Das Obere Eisacktal, also der nördlichste Talabschnitt, wird zum Wipptal gezählt.
Im weiteren Sinne umfasst das Eisacktal den gesamten Verlauf des Eisacks von seinem Ursprung am Brenner bis zum Erreichen des Etschtals bei Bozen.
Im Früh- und Hochmittelalter war auch die Bezeichnung Norital gebräuchlich.
Geographie
Der oberste Abschnitt des vom Eisack durchflossenen Tals von dessen Ursprung am Brenner bis zur Franzensfeste wird üblicherweise zum Wipptal gerechnet. Somit nimmt das Eisacktal im breiten Brixner Talkessel seinen Anfang, wo neben dem Wipptal auch das von Nordosten kommende Pustertal einmündet. Südlich von Albeins verengt sich das Tal zunehmend und bietet bei dem vom siedlungsgeschichtlich bedeutsamen Säbener Berg überragten Klausen letztmals einer größeren Siedlung im Talboden Platz. Der Richtung Südwesten streichende Talverlauf nimmt ab Kollmann zwischen den Mittelgebirgslandschaften des Ritten und des Schlerngebiets einen schluchtartigen Charakter an. Das Eisacktal mündet schließlich im Bozner Talkessel ins Etschtal.
Westseitig wird das Eisacktal von den Bergen der Sarntaler Alpen begrenzt. Von dort laufen nur relativ kleine Seitentäler zu, unter denen das Schalderer Tal und das Tinnetal die größten sind. Aus den ostseitigen Dolomiten erreichen das Eisacktal wesentlich längere Seitentäler, wovon das Lüsner Tal, das Aferer Tal, das Villnößtal, das Grödner Tal, das Tierser Tal und das Eggental die bedeutendsten sind.
Verwaltungsmäßig sind die Gemeinden des Eisacktals auf die Südtiroler Bezirksgemeinschaften Eisacktal und Salten-Schlern verteilt.
Verkehr
Durch das Eisacktal verlaufen wichtige europäische Verkehrsadern der Brenner-Transitroute. Dazu zählen die Brennerautobahn A22, die SS 12 („Brennerstaatsstraße“) und die Brennerbahn. Für den Radverkehr erschlossen ist das Gebiet durch die Radroute 1 „Brenner–Salurn“.
Historisch bedeutsam ist der Kuntersweg aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, der die bis dahin kaum passierbare Eisackschlucht für den Nord-Süd-Verkehr erschloss.
Sprachen
Vor der Eroberung durch die Römer 15 v. Chr. im Zuge der Augusteischen Alpenfeldzüge lebten im südlichen Eisacktal die Isarken und weiter nördlich die Breonen. Sie waren rätische Alpenvölker, deren Namen uns aus der Inschrift auf dem Tropaeum Alpium bekannt sind. Durch ihre Romanisierung entstand die rätoromanische Sprache Ladinisch. Im Eisacktal südlich von Brixen und auch in den Nebentälern (Lüsner Tal, Villnößtal, Grödner Tal und Teile des Eggentals) wurde noch im Spätmittelalter ladinisch gesprochen. Dies sieht man heute noch an den zahlreichen ladinischstämmigen Familien-, Hof-, Flur- und Ortsnamen. Spätestens in der Frühen Neuzeit setzte sich im gesamten Eisacktal und seinen Nebentälern der Gebrauch der deutschen Sprache durch, allein in Gröden hat sich die ladinische Sprache bis heute als dominierende Alltagssprache erhalten und genießt heute den Status einer Amtssprache. Die italienische Minderheit im Eisacktal entstand seit dem Beginn der Industrialisierung Tirols gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, vor allem im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts.

The Heygate Estate in Elephant & Castle. For those not familiar with it, yes it has been earmarked for demolition. The buildings were not the prettiest, but they did provide affordable accommodation close to the centre of London, and there lies the problem I imagine. The land bucked the capitalist ideals of London so it had to go.

To most people the building at number 10, Pavement is just Pizza Hut. The building however is more significant in the history of York. It was built in 1870 by Joseph Rowntree to provide a showcase for his growing chocolate business. He was born in 1834 in the building that preceded this one, a grocery shop with living accommodation above. He worked in the shop himself until 1869. By then Rowntrees had become a much larger enterprise which continued to grow. It was sold to Nestlé in 1980. The modern windows produce lovely reflections, including one of the post box opposite and the dresses in the window of Marks and Spencer.
