Bolton-by-Bowland is a village and civil parish in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England. Before 1974, the village was part of Bowland Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In medieval times, it was known as Bolton-in-Bowland, reflecting the shifting boundaries of the ancient Forest of Bowland on whose south-east flank the village sits. The manor of Bolton-by-Bowland, however, was not included within the Lordship of Bowland, being a part of the Percy family fee from earliest times.

Sea cliffs on Heimaey, the Westman Islands, Iceland.
The caves and smaller hollows in the cliffs have been formed by wave action. Some of the waves were over 33m (100ft) in height.
The caves and pits in the rocks provide nesting sites for seabirds such as gulls, gannets and guillemots. Puffins nest in grassy areas where they can dig their burrows.
The ladder and ropes which are visible are used by local people to collect seabirds and seabird eggs for food.
The Gravan Canal is a channel that connects the eastern and western ports of Kristiansand. The canal is partly an artificially dug extension of the channel between Kvadraturen and Odderøya. The sound was so shallow that it prevented boat traffic. It was first excavated around 1680.
Four bridges cross the canal and there are remnants of another former swing bridge. The eastern inlet of the canal is at Hartmann's pier (Strandpromenaden) and Nodeviga boat harbor, and the canal runs out into the western harbor at Lagmannsholmen and Kilden theater and concert halls. Parts of the north bank of the canal are a rock fill that made Lagmannsholmen land-solid. The building at Fiskebrygga with red and ocher yellow wooden houses is located on both sides of the canal. In the summer, there is heavy petty traffic in the canal. Larger boats are hindered by the relatively low height below the bridges. Port for fishing boats is west of the bridges.
Below the easternmost bridge is the artwork "Slow Bridge", designed by Anna Berthelsen. The work consists of square mirror tiles made of 5300 children from schools and kindergartens.
Northeast of the bridges stands a memorial bush shaped like a sea mine, in memory of the war sailors 1940-1945. It has the inscription "Prejudice to the sailor's misery and death. Now to his memory of efforts in need. ” wikipedia
Stand By Me • Ben E. KingTune ! 🎧
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon
Is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me
Oh, now, stand by me
Stand by…

Lyrics
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

All by Myself lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Round Hill Music Big Loud Songs
When they've all had their quarrels and parted,
We'll be the same as we started,
Just travelin' along,
Singing a song,
Side by side.
Watching
how the light
wanders
across the land
hand in hand
with the shade
how space
is shaped
by seeing
Jozef Deleu

With this photo, I want to say goodbye to the year. It has been a hard and difficult year, however there will always be a small light, which will mark the way. Hopefully, this next year will bring many good things and hope. I wish you all happy holidays and a good start to 2021, which will surely bring us great moments.

Hello All!
I wanted to post a spring flower, the quintessential tulip which I spotted at a church. There are few places for me to find flowers due to the lockdown situation, so spotting a few buds made my day!
Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

Oaks do not lose their dress in winter. When the sun shines in, the tree still shows its most beautiful side.
Eichen verlieren ihr Kleid im Winter nicht gleich. Wenn die Sonne scheint, zeigt sich der Baum immer noch von seiner schönsten Seite.
"Be filled with wonder, be touched by peace."
This is another shot from my Helios session last Sunday. Here, the setting sun was illuminating some leaves in the background which produced a nice glowing bokeh which furthermore gives a nice color contrast to the blues of the bellflowers. I don't know why, but the first thing that came into my mind when I looked at this picture was the word peace. I hope you like it! Have a great weekend my friends!
A foreground feature to catch interest, a nice colour in the sky to fill the background and some smooth water to fill in the gaps. I know it’s all very formulaic and landscape photography by the numbers, but you know what, I’ve been doing this for years now and I still like the formula. I still find myself mesmerised by a beautiful sunset and find it invigorating to get up before the sunrise to see the stunning dawn to a new day. I wish I had more free time to catch nature’s lightshows but for now I’ll get out there when I can and hope to catch a few images worth sharing. Even if they are a bit formulaic!
