The Viking Sun stopped off on her way around the world, funny because this week we are commemorating the Battle of Largs in 1263 - maybe the Vikings are here to try again ! This ship was so big it felt like the scene in the movie Independence Day when the spaceships blocked out the light !
I spent the weekend shooting the World Cup Canoe Slalom event at Lee Valley Whitewater Centre (for fun).
Friday was for all of the heats.
Here Womens paddler Alsu Minazova from Russia is competing in the C1 class, where they are kneeling and using a single-bladed paddle. Other competitors, their teams, photographers, cameramen and marshalls are all looking on.
The Canoe crew marshall is signalling that she was clear at the previous green-and-white gate.
A visit to Tangmere for the Chichester CC Spring Exhibition, then on to Tangmere Aviation Museum.
I realised there were numerous Roundels for the Treasure Hunt, so here are two on the fuselage and underwing of the Hawker Hunter.
Treasure Hunt 60: Roundel
A day of rest after the weekend. All I could come up with was this. These were in my late Mum's jewellery box, and were given to her by her aunt, who I am named for. I love the link to a very characterful lady, and must wear these sometime!
Out on the mountain bikes again, but I forgot my camera.
As I was about to get in the bath, the sun was reflecting off the surface, creating these light sprites.
Not to self, clean the woodwork more frequently...
A replacement for the original Crossing on the Stairs due to this being the only Lensbaby shot taken in May (luckily, though I wish I'd explored further and got the sweet spot in the right place!). *Sigh*
Apologies to those who have already seen and commented on the other version.

A lovely wander around Nymans with Liz, and this caught my eye for the FCB's 52 Week Challenge of Faces: Pareidolia.
Does a 'tree frog' count?!
I confess I did find this one online, and visited today while collecting borrowed print stands ready for the Regnum competition we are hosting next week.
Thought I'd avoided photographing any children, to fine one walked past! Have blurred her out.
Treasure Hunt 37: Hot Dog
Our major tactical error with our van build was the lack of a heater, which was definitely on the list of essentials.
Our oil-fired boiler was serviced the other week, and Terry is an avid campervanner. He pointed out this space as hopefully ideal for a heater to be added. This photo was taken to send to a company in Edenbridge, who we hope will be fitting one soon!
I love it when the POTD is a useful one.
A camera club photoshoot to the Open Day of Alexander Dennis Bus Chassis works in Guildford. Thanks to Laura, a cycling friend who works there, who shared the poster on Facebook.
Today Hector and I walked 3 miles up and down hill, it felt like the north face of the Eiger, but we made it!
A group ride with Marmalade mtb in Stanmer Park, near Brighton. I suspect trolleys aren't a rare sight in the park, but certainly not what you expect in the woods.
I spent the weekend shooting the World Cup Canoe Slalom event at Lee Valley Whitewater Centre (for fun).
Ben Hayward from Canada practices the moves he plans to make in his semi-final run. His dance type moves captivated me.
Big Al and Tim of Adventure Clydesdale cantering on Dartmoor.
This is the shot to try and avoid with horses, with one front leg on the ground, according to workshop leader Malcolm Snelgrove
At least I've used his favourite crop factor.
FCB 52 Week Challenge Week 21: What an Animal
A trip to Horsham, and this was all I got. Another of the hearts supporting St Catherine's Hospice. I love the figures on the one, each mirroring the other's posture.
The Good: I went for a lovely walk...
The Bad: ...because my e-mtb wouldn't work...
The Ugly: ...and picked up a lot of litter.
The Treasure Hunt topic of Kaleidoscope reminded me that I had brought one home after sorting through Mum's things 5 years ago or so. Sure enough, it was still in the basket, but not easy to photograph! This was taken on the phone, as the aperture for seeing the patterns was less than 1cm across.
Photo of the battered whole thing in comments...
Treasure Hunt 42: Kaleidoscope
Meet Billy, the mascot under the seat of one of two French cyclists who are bike-camping for about a week. They took the ferry from Dunkirk to Dover, and had already visited London, Cambridge and Oxford. We saw them at Peaslake, and lent one a pump as he'd had a puncture. They were neading from Brighton, then Canterbury before returning home.
The other had Bob under his saddle: see my photostream!
