Tarbert is a village in the west of Scotland, in the Argyll and Bute council area. It is built at the head of an inlet of Loch Fyne called East Loch Tarbert, on a narrow isthmus which connects Kintyre to the south with Knapdale to the north and separates East Loch Tarbert from the much longer West Loch Tarbert
Yes folks it is a boathouse.............aaaah how the other half live:-)
Thanks as ever to skeletalmess for his lichen texture

Wastwater (or Wast Water) reflections, England's deepest lake, located in the Wasdale valley of the Lake District National Park.

The mountains visible in the background include Yewbarrow, Great Gable, and Lingmell.
The lake is a glacial lake, nearly 3 miles (4.8 km) long, and reaches a depth of 258 feet (79 m).
The outline of the three peaks at the eastern end of the lake is the symbol used for the Lake District National Park logo.

Silence spreads like a wordless prayer. The lake breathes slowly, as time dissolves along the line where water meets sky. Nothing asks for haste.
There is an invisible dialogue between she and the horizon – a conversation that needs no sound, only presence. The tree, stripped of its leaves, understands. It bends with the wind but stands tall, holding secrets that winter cannot erase.
The bench is not just a place to rest but a space where thoughts drift lightly, dancing between what is and what once was. Solitude, here, does not weigh heavy. It spreads like light over the water, turning every absence into a poem.
At the lake’s edge, what feels missing becomes whole.
***
O silêncio se espalha como uma prece sem palavras. O lago respira devagar, enquanto o tempo se dissolve na linha onde a água encontra o céu. Nada pede pressa.
Há um diálogo invisÃvel entre ela e o horizonte – uma conversa que não precisa de som, apenas de presença. A árvore, despida de folhas, entende. Ela se curva com o vento, mas permanece de pé, guardando segredos que o inverno não apaga.
O banco não é só um lugar de descanso, mas um espaço onde pensamentos flutuam leves, dançando entre o agora e o que já foi. A solidão, aqui, não pesa. Ela se espalha como luz sobre a água, transformando cada ausência em um poema.
Na margem do lago, o que falta se torna inteiro.

Scotney Castle Landscape Gardens (National Trust), Kent, UK
Scotney Castle Gardens are centred on the romantic ruins of a moated, 14th century medieval English castle. An Elizabethan wing was added to the ruins in the 15th century. Together they give a delightful focal point to the gardens.
In Spring, an old quarry in the gardens contains an amazing, colorful display of rhododendrons, azaleas, kalmias and purple acers, often under-planted with bluebells. The ruins of the old castle and surrounding, water filled moat can be seen in the distance from a viewpoint overlooking this stunning floral display.
This photo, taken from the bridge, shows a view of the ancient castle tower and Elizabethan ruins reflected in the moat.
Details: The National Trust gardens at Scotney Castle are a renowned example of a specific 18th century English gardening style called the ’Picturesque’ . This particular style was part of the larger Romantic Movement which greatly influenced artists of the period. It evolved from the aesthetic ideas of William Gilpin and was applied to gardens by the highly influential English garden designer, Humphrey Repton.
Within this particular style, artists and designers were seeking qualities in a painting or landscape that essentially transcended mere beauty and almost conveyed the viewer to a blissful state of higher consciousness because of its ‘pure perfection’. As far as I understand it, these ‘Picturesque’ garden designs were more ‘rugged and natural’ than previous landscape garden designs (e.g. those of Capability Brown) and often incorporated romantic ruins and follies. Well, that at least is the theory.
From my own experience, Scotney Castle is certainly a very beautiful garden. However, it also has unique qualities, hard to put into words and define, that makes it very special indeed. Other people must feel this too, as it is an extremely popular garden with visitors.
Location: Located near the village of Lamberhurst in the valley of the river Bewl in Kent, England. Postcode: TN3 8JN. The nearest large town is Tunbridge Wells.

This was one of my first photos of this magical place - taken in late afternoon on color negative film; hence the slight grain.

Taken on a still day, this photo reflects the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of these gardens. One of my favorite views.

Stockgrove Park, Bedfordshire, UK: Stockgrove Park is located on the border between the counties of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, near the town of Leighton Buzzard and the city of Milton Keynes in the UK.
Sitting on a Greensand Ridge it contains a range of habitats from ancient coppiced woodland, lakes, parkland, heath and coniferous plantations. It’s a great place for nature and wildlife.
This photo was taken very early one autumn morning in November, looking across a shaded lake as the low sun lit up the spectacular, glowing autumn foliage of the silver birch, beech trees and dogwoods on the opposite bank of the lake. Included in the picture are the remains of a derelict boathouse reflected in the lake.
Location: Stockgrove Park, Brickhill Road, Heath and Reach, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 0BA, UK .

Access to the park is free, but there is now a small charge for parking on the site.
