view to the other side, Kegelberg Mountains and Cape Hangklip marking the opposite side of the Cape Point.
False Bay (Afrikaans Valsbaai) is a body of water in the Atlantic Ocean between the mountainous Cape Peninsula and the Hottentots Holland Mountains in the extreme south-west of South Africa. The mouth of the bay faces south and is demarcated by Cape Point to the west and Cape Hangklip to the east. The north side of the bay is the low-lying Cape Flats. Much of the bay is on the coast of the City of Cape Town, and it includes part of the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area and the whole of the Helderberg Marine Protected Area.
False Bay also contains South Africa's largest naval base at Simon's Town (historically a base for the Royal Navy), and small fishing harbours at Kalk Bay and Gordon's Bay ... Thx to Wikipedia
To all my contacts and friends, sorry for not visitng your streams in the last while....between recovering from the knee surgery, a trip to Vancouver on the weekend, planning a couple of other trips and also trying to get caught up on work, my Flickr activity has been curtailed dramatically. I'll be around to check out your great pics in the next little while...but maybe not tomorrow since I have to go to the Victoria passport office for a renewal. Hopefully the lineups are less than a day long.
This pic was taken by the Plaza of Nations along False Creek in Vancouver. It's been a long time since I hung out in this area. I still call it the Expo Grounds - and that dates back to 1986.
The cranes in the background are on the grounds where athlete housing is being built for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
This photo is one of many in my new book called Through Len's Lens.

False Limpets belong in the group known as pulmonates, meaning "lung breathing". They trap air under their shell when water covers them during high tides so that they can still breathe. They are likely to have had terrestrial ancestors
Native to Australia

PhotoForge is a Photography Show that I am the host of! Check it out, we have lots of fun :)
I'd like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the birthday wishes I received.
That was very sweet.
Henderson County, NC.
GBU-->RGB cross-sampled image from two exposures. Converted camera, Steinheil Cassar S 50mm lens. Baader U2 filter used for UV source frame; KolariVision deconverting filter used for visible source frame.
Taken from the south side of False Creek looking north. Lots of boats anchored there that day - probably there for the fireworks that would be launched in English Bay just out from False Creek.
On the right side you can see the Grouse Mountain ski slope (Naturally there's no snow in the summer.).
Left side we have the BC Place Stadium and the Plaza Of Nations (The glass building with the blue awning.) and in the middle we have the Sears Harbour Center restaurant with Rogers Arena below.
There is a small brown building with a green top that can be seen just off the center to the right between two tall buildings. About 100 years ago that was one of the tallest buildings in the downtown core, which at that time was mostly residential houses. Now that building is dwarfed by even the smallest buildings there.
That cloud bank kept getting closer and I thought it was going to rain but it didn't. In fact I don't know where it went but it was really nice out later and very hot here the next day.
Although it says the location is CHINATOWN, it is actually Southeast False Creek - which is almost a mile from Chinatown.

I was watching and filming a Vole here when this beauty popped up. I have decided to have a couple of days of Pine Marten images. I am longing to go back already.
I saw a number of different Pine Marten, the only way I could identify the individuals was from the unique markings on their light collar.

At least that's what I think she is. My granddaughter spotted it on the way home from school (we had the grandkids round for tea) and knew I'd want to take a picture.

Had to look this one up, didn't know what it was, but it grows in my yard and I like the little blooms

The False Creek Seawall was bustling during sunset with families, cyclists and joggers getting the last sunlight in before the October Thanksgiving weekend. The weather has been amazing for October this year.
This is a view of the Cambie Street bridge with BC Place stadium in the background and the downtown Vancouver condo's on the other side of False Creek.
The spectacular scenery of Duncansby Head, Scotland.
Duncansby Head, north east of Scotland, is the furthest point by road from Land's End, the extreme point south-west of Britain, in Cornwall.
A little further across the clifftop fields, the stunning view south to Thirle Door and the Stacks of Duncansby: the first is a rocky arch, the second a group of large jagged sea stacks. The Great Stack is over 60 m high.

Having just got home to some great news, had tea, and washed up I thought I would just go and make our bed so I could get a decent night's sleep after reading a bed time story to my grand daughter and then going out in the dark to walk the dog.......and as I removed the pillows to fluff them up this venomous False Widow spider came out from under my pillow. Now these things can give a pretty nasty bite, but I thought they were still only in the south of the country. I do not like spiders at the best of times and even enquired to an outdoor retail store recently if it was possible to buy spider spray to keep them away from me. Of course the sales assistant giggled like mad thinking I was joking, but I wasn't. But she had a lovely face and way with her and I forgave her and gave her a second chance, but still, nope, even after a fumble in the stockroom they still didn't have the stuff.
But is my hard done by wife feeling like a false widow and out to get her revenge on me? I might not sleep well tonight after all.
