Sorry folks, not beeing online for a couple of weeks; was really busy (also took some pictures, as you may see).
Wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2008.

The coastal village of Carbis Bay, which is near St Ives, was the location of this year's G7 summit which took place in June.
World leaders from the seven most powerful countries in the world will met there to talk about big, global issues as they
tried to form plans of action. Carbis bay beach was a few miles from the beach near where we camped and is just visible in the previous photo. We happened to travel down just as a cavalcade of motor vehicles with outriders passed us going up the motorway to pick up Joe Biden from Newquay Airport.
A Royal Navy ship the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier carrying two helicopters constantly circled the bay and drones were always going over our head as we relaxed outside our caravan whilst tucking into a bbq the same time they were having theirs but our menu not quite so exotic lol..but I still managed a few pics of the RAF display team The Red Arrows as they put on their display as for each manoeuvre they regrouped over our heads. We stayed put as we didn’t want to get stuck in traffic jams but you can see why the St Ives Bay Area was chosen but it put the locals out quite a lot as traffic was not allowed without a resident pass to get in and out of here whilst the summit took place…
The uplifting role that wildlife plays in our lives becomes more vital than ever. So, for my own sanity as much as anything, here is another beautiful bird..the Great Tit at Woods Mill Nature Reserve West Sussex..

This old branch has become a favourite place for many different birds to have a look around or just have a break or as a meeting place.
Durham, England, blue hour under low clouds, two versions taken a few minutes apart, one has warmer tones, flickr chose the bluer one on top. Sorry for the delay, I meant to upload these yesterday but kept getting error messages when I tried to log on to flickr.
Happy weekend to everyone.

Kirkstone Pass with Brothers Water in the background, Lake District, Cumbria
Some background information:
Kirkstone Pass is a mountain pass in the English Lake District, which reaches an altitude of 454 m (1,489 feet).
It is the Lake District's highest pass that is open to motor traffic connecting Ambleside in the Rothay Valley to Patterdale in the Ullswater Valley. Brothers Water is a little lake in the Ullswater Valley, which can be seen from the summit.
Over the years a large undertaking of slate mining has been taking place. Pets Quarry, currently being worked by "Kirkstone Green Slate Company" is just before the highest point on the pass coming from Ambleside. Caudale slate mine, which was last worked at the beginning of the 20th century, is a few miles further down on the Ullswater side. Nowadays all adits to this mine are blocked. Nearby is also the Hartsop Hall Lead Mine.
