Taken during the same storm as my previous rainbow photo.

I got caught out here as usually I walk north of here but as the tide was so high I had to go south. This wave swept in and caught me way above my waist, after I took this I had to hold the camera up high! Couldn't climb the thin wire fence as am always bare footed!! You can see the swell of it just coming up to me - the foam is because this is in the middle of a big storm!!

on sunny afternoons the fox like to nap in a nice sunny spot in the tall grasses off the side of the back field.

Saturday Self Challenge

This week in SSC:

You can use 1 shape or several using any subject you like as long as it's geometric in shape.

I was determined to try and find a building for this, not really sure why other than we have a distinct lack of new buildings which would work for this challenge, most stuff around here is Victorian or earlier, and a bit wonky. So I took a trip into the nearby town of Halifax and wandered around trying to see what I could find. The Halifax Building Society HQ (Now Lloyd’s Banking Group) would have done, but I’ve used it before so I was on the lookout for something different.

I’d just about given up when I spotted the new Broad Street Plaza complex through the trees. It’s only been there a few years, so that’s my excuse for never having looked at the roof before. I decided to take the shot with the geometric shapes sandwiched between the sky and the trees, just because I thought it looked better this way, I hope I'm not breaking the rules :)

The building itself is home to a VUE cinema, a few eateries and a gym. There is also a bar called The Percy Shaw, named in honour of the famous Halifax man, the inventor of cats eyes, or reflecting road studs as they are often called these days.

I don’t like the building as it’s very out of keeping with the majority of the architecture in the town, which will probably be still standing long after this has gone.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Breuddwyd for this. He removed his account but luckily I had a copy.

There's been a dismal lack of photographic activity round these parts of late...hopefully get back out and about soon.

In the meantime here's another pic from last months trip up to Padley Gorge

Thank you for taking the time to look in :)

Martial Eagle caught a Lizard.

The Martial Eagle is fantastic bird of prey and what a machine when it is in the air. I filmed this at the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

They are the largest of the African eagles and incredibly powerful, capable of knocking an adult man off his feet. They reputedly have enough power in one foot to break a man's arm.

Size: Weighs ±6.5 Kg Wingspan ±

Hope you will enjoy this photo.

I actually saw this feather flying through the air and get caught on the tree branch and so I had my title Caught and held.

I wasn't expecting this White-faced Heron to take off and subsequently missed the top of its wings, but I still liked the image anyway.

Soap bubbles or winter snow? Caught in the act of pure fun and joy. I had to rush to take this shot, and even though it's not as sharp as it could be, I think that adds to the moment of spontaneity.
