Torosay Castle is a large house completed in 1858 on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. Torosay is surrounded by gardens that include 19 statues in the style of Italian sculptor Antonio Bonazza. The statues were acquired from a derelict garden near Milan and shipped to Scotland for next to nothing as ballast in a cargo ship. I was particularly fond of this tower. My wife, Diane took the picture and I did some improvements in Photoshop en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torosay_Castle
PIRAMIDS OF GIZA
The only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the main part of a complex setting of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honor of Khufu (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller "satellite" pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles. One of the small pyramids contains the tomb of queen Hetepheres (discovered in 1925), sister and wife of Sneferu and the mother of Khufu. There was a town for the workers of Giza, which included a cemetery, bakeries, a beer factory and a copper smelting complex. A few hundred meters south-west of the Great Pyramid lies the slightly smaller Pyramid of Khafre, one of Khufu's successors who is also commonly considered the builder of the Great Sphinx, and a few hundred meters further south-west is the Pyramid of Menkaure, Khafre's successor, which is about half as tall. In May 1954, 41 blocking stones were uncovered close to the south side of the Great Pyramid. They covered a 30.8 meter long rock-cut pit that contained the remains of a 43 meter long ship of cedar wood. In antiquity, it had been dismantled into 650 parts comprising 1224 pieces. This funeral boat of Khufu has been reconstructed and is now housed in a museum on the site of its discovery. A second boat pit was later discovered nearby.[

Risin og Kellingin (Risin and Kellingin) are two sea stacks just off the northern coast of the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands close to the town of Eiði. The name Risin og Kellingin means The Giant and the Witch (or Hag) and relates to an old legend about their origins. The Giant (Risin) is the 71m stack further from the coast, and the witch (Kellingin) is the 68m pointed stack nearer land, standing with her legs apart.
A legend tells how, once upon a time, the giants in Iceland were envious and decided that they wanted the Faroes. So the giant and the witch (his wife in some versions of the story) were sent down to the Faroe Islands to bring them back.
They reached the north-westernmost mountain Eiðiskollur, and the giant stayed in the sea while the witch climbed up the mountain with a heavy rope to tie the islands together so that she could push them onto the giant's back. However, when she attached the rope to the mountain and pulled, the northern part of the mountain split. Further attempts were also unsuccessful, and they struggled through the night, but the base of the mountain was firm and they could not move it.
If the sun shines on a giant or witch, it turns to stone. So it was that as they continued to struggle they didn't notice time passing, and as dawn broke a shaft of sunlight put a stop to their efforts by turning them to stone on the spot. They have stood there ever since, staring longingly across the ocean towards Iceland.

My wife and I decided to spend the afternoon at the coast at Heybrook Bay the other day and had a nice lunch. While she read her book, I ventured out onto the rocks. It was very windy and slippery, but just as the sun was setting, these crepuscular rays beamed across the sky.
Here I am photographing beautiful Evia island.
Taken during the long "May Day" weekend, while my beloved English wife Theresa Jane Brown and I were visiting friends on the beautiful island of Evia, Greece.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

My wife, elder daughter, her husband and I went to my home town and visited my mother this weekend. She lives there alone. We did have a wonderful time.
Tamsui District is a seaside district in New Taipei City, Taiwan adjacent to the Tamsui River and overlooking the Taiwan Strait. The name of the district means "fresh water" in Chinese. Although modest in size (population 189,271), Tamsui plays a significant role in Taiwanese history and culture.
Due to a crazy schedule of meetings, a lunch break seemed unlikely today. So, my wife told me to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then cram it down whenever. But, some things changed and the plan didn't work out. As a result, my wife told me the leftover sandwich would be my dinner tonight –– plus a small salad. Yes, I eat like a king. #classicnegative
A friend asked to see the full length version of this dress so here it.
It's one of those dresses I wouldn't have gone for but my wife picked it out held it up and said that's nice. so in our world that is code for you should buy this :-)
I wasn't sure but for £9.00 I thought why not.
Looks like she knows what's best once again and I should have worn for Saturday night in Manchester but I thought it was too short. funny this is the dress I did wear was probably shorter lol.
The shoes work nicely aswell and guess what? they belonged to my other half until she gave them to me. Happy days :-)
Yeah I have small feet
Thanks for visiting! Most photos are of Mei, my wife and muse.
