The 1834 Vídimyri turf covered church in North Iceland is considered to be a masterpiece of old Icelandic architecture. The turf has to be renewed regularly.

Let it slide is a track by Alabama 3 , and is fine for watching the sun slide behind Kynance Cove. The wild flowers sprinkling the short turf were superb, mainly spring squill, thrift, kidney vetch and sea campion. A great way to start the week.
The science and the art of photography are really one, and not opposed to each other :-)

Starling and Blackbird fighting over mealworms that I had put out for them. Although it looks like the starling is the aggressor it was actually the blackbird, he wanted all the mealworms for himself. The battle lasted for a few minutes, with the blackbird taking on all comers until the female blackbird arrived when surprisingly instead of joining in with the male she went for him and he just turned tail and flew away. Just goes to show, Never argue with a woman!!!!!
The hummer on the bottom was bathing inside a shasta daisy (I have a sprinkler going) when the guy above came along and interrupted him. The smoke makes for beautiful oranges, more vibrant than normal

I was treated to a nice moonrise in my "backyard" last month and was fortunate enough to have my small Konica Genba Kantoku with me at the time.
