Here's an image that I have freshly edited today after looking through the thousands of images that i shot during my 26 day World Tour of the UK last July and August.

 

A fellow photographer and friend of mine Huw Alban joined me on location for a couple of hours before dashing off to head to work. We both witnessed a gorgeous morning with the most wonderful of skies adding interest, texture and some lovely shapes to the image.

 

If you have yet to visit Dungeness, do so. It's quite a strange little place. There's a large pebbled beach with residential houses littered around the circular road that takes you in and around the two nuclear power stations that exist on site (only one of them is still operational).

 

There is also a beautiful small tourist railway called Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway present. It is a 90-year-old narrow (15in) gauge steam and diesel railway that stretches 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness on the Channel coast.

 

But Dungeness for me is an eerie, seemingly desolated place. I sat in my minibus/makeshift campervan for almost eight hours while it rained heavily. I would look at an empty space that is punctuated with wooden sheds that house diesel generators that power the winches that allow the fishermen to drag the boats onto the pebbled beach.

 

For all its eeriness, it is a fantastic place for the landscape/seascape photographer. There is a wealth of compositions available. Go and visit it for yourself and let me know what you think.

 

I hope you like the image. Thanks for looking and as usual, feel FREE TO SHARE if you wish :D

Freshly opened red flowering gum blossom... and a thirsty bee.

Hello.. I've only been here a few hours. Let's see what the world has in store for me and my siblings

🎼: I am a Rock ~ Simon & Garfunkel~

 

✈️ : Kindred Spirit

 

A winter's day

In a deep and dark December

I am alone

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

 

I am a rock

I am an island

 

I've built walls

A fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

 

I am a rock

I am an island

 

Don't talk of love

But I've heard the word before

It's sleeping in my memory

I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died

If I never loved I never would have cried

I put them on the windowsill and they will be ready to eat in several days.

7/100x ~have a seat~

....actually, I wouldn't sit in this at any time of year ;)

I picked this up off the side of the road while up north last summer. Had to have it !!

Strapped it down & hauled it home, surprised it survived the abuse !!

I think the only thing it'll hold is a flower pot in the summertime =D

It's a rickety old thing but it sure is pretty ;)

…..But not yet open to reveal their delicate inner-selves. A bit of a grab shot - saw them catching the early morning sun as I went to the re-cycle bin, didn’t want to stop too long in the cold as both Jill & I are nursing Covid! Jill first then me. So we’re grounded at the moment which means its into the archives a while longer 😊 Alan:-)….

Last weekend I went looking for Chalkhill Blues on the North Downs and found this freshly emerged male before he made his first flight.

Rather weird fish stall !

The day after Christmas 2014 finds an OCS move idling at the picturesque passenger station in Jim Thorpe. A number of holiday visitors take a peek at the freshly repainted ex-ATSF GP30s, now classed as GP39RNs by the Reading & Northern.

Not a bad crop this year, all things considered (i.e. lack of sun lately).

Plant in the Davies Alpine House at Kew.

I found this very young dragonfly hidden in the reed...

So much from which to choose...
