Approaching Nubra is a very exciting journey. From Kardung when you start climbing down, everything is in just shades of one colour 'Rust'. Anything between rust to sand colour, even the river shyok. It took us quite a decent into the valley to realise the valley is completely filled with the river and not a clay-ish sand. And then the sky was Blue! Representing these two colours in Black and White.
High Tatras or High Tatra (Slovak and Czech: Vysoké Tatry, Polish: Tatry Wysokie) are a mountain range on the borders between Slovakia and Poland. They are a part of the Tatra Mountains. The High Tatras, with their 17 peaks over 2500 m AMSL, are, together with the Southern Carpathians, the only mountain ranges with an alpine character in the whole 1200 km length of the Carpathian Mountains.
The mountain range borders Belianske Tatras to the east, Podtatranská kotlina to the south and Western Tatras to the west. The major part and all the highest peaks of the mountains are situated in Slovakia. The highest peak is Gerlachovský Å¡tÃt at 2,655 m. Many rare and endemic animals and plant species are native to the High Tatras. Large predators, such as the bear, Eurasian lynx, marten, wolf and fox live there.
The area is well known for winter sports. Ski resorts include Štrbské pleso, Starý Smokovec and Tatranská Lomnica in Slovakia and Zakopane in Poland. The town of Poprad is the gateway to the Slovak Tatra resorts.
The first European cross-border national park was founded here—Tatra National Park—Tatranský národný park in Slovakia in 1948 and Tatrzański Park Narodowy in Poland in 1954.

After climbing up the narrow, twisting streets of Pyrgos (Santorini, Greece) I found the pathway to this church which had stood out when seen from below. Edited with Lightroom3 and Topaz Adjust 4.
As we got nearer we could see Honister Slate Mine and it's huge car park. Our guide book rather downplayed the size of the place, making it sound like it was some tiny little hut or something, but this is a full blown "Slate Experience" with zip wires and everything

Yesterday was my last full day in America. It began in Brooklyn, where Peter had taken us so that he could visit his grandmother; while I rested in a pizza parlor, sipping a ginger ale and reading the Scarlet Letter - I bought a 6.95 special pizza, by the way, which Peter and I both enjoyed in the car. Later, we briefly partook in the festivities of a verily authentic Italian cafe, which Peter so desired to show me and in which elderly men had gathered to watch football (Juventus versus Manchester United), to smoke and to kick up the banter typical of these sagacious, cultural folk. In the evening, Mark and I met at Starbucks, to play chess and to test, once more, our respective price sensitives against an armada of niched coffees. I drank the lemonade.
HMS MONMOUTH conducts maritime Approach and Assist Operations. Picture: L(Phot) Will Haigh
As part of her commitment to Maritime Security in the Arabian Gulf, HMS Monmouth regularly conducts maritime Approach and Assist visits to dhows and other small craft working in the area. The prime purpose of these visits is to help local fishermen and other mariners in need of assistance, while also providing reassurance that the Royal Navy and other coalition warships in the area are there to keep the region free of piracy.
These visits are conducted by the Ship’s “blue†boarding team, consisting of volunteers from the Ship’s Company, in conjunction with the “green†boarding team of embarked Royal Marines. During these visits, the boarding teams will discuss the challenges faced by the small boats operating in the region and are often able learn the sort of valuable grass roots information that the Ship’s sophisticated sensors are unable to detect.
“Over the course of an average day we will conduct between 5 and 20 Approach and Assist visits to fishing and trading dhows of various sizesâ€, said Deputy Logistics Officer and Boarding Officer Lt Chris Marsden RN. “The boats’ crews are generally pleased to see us and we are often able to help out by providing them with supplies and information ranging from deteriorating weather conditions to the latest cricket scores! In return the crews are able to provide us with details of any suspicious activity in the area, which we can then act uponâ€.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).
With visits now in excess of 18.043 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.

The seven bays in Broadstairs consist of: (From south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.
