Comes with sea view and it's own waterproof sheet.
Cooped up for the past few weeks, I've been losing the will to live. So on Ken's day off at the weekend, we ventured along Seaton Beach, to the blue lagoon. No its not somewhere like the Med and why it got that name, I've no idea lol!
The weather has been horrible lately. Yes I know, there's no such thing as bad weather lol!
Well the sky has been flat white, dullness, and I'm struggling to see what I can make of it.
I took a few images of the industry over at Teesbay but this image of the makeshift accommodation on the beach, made me smile.
It's not my usual capture from a beach scene but it's certainly a bit different.
I've spent the past week, looking tirelessly for somewhere to go at the end of Aug. It seems because of Covid, everyones had the same idea. Nothing to be had, as I don't really want to stay in a hotel. Maybe I need to build one like this :)
Some flowering should happen soon in my area. Because of the winter week of February 15, blooming is delayed this year. Some buds froze.
This photo of daffodils was taken last February.
Back to Orkney and the Island of Westray. This is Noup Head with an amazing cliff face used by nesting gannets and guillemots.
The sea birds start to arrive at Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire the largest colony in Europe. It was fabulous being up here on this day with hardly any other person around..
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES
A charming somewhat dilapidated guest house I spotted in Montagu, Western Cape.
I think they might have to go down with the prices…a little. :-)

Who would want to live at No.10? A few people would do just about anything to live at the more famous one. But many millions would love to live at this one.
Trains no longer use the station. It's now being used as accommodation for hikers on the Heysen Trail.
This is an image I made a short walk from the accommodation we stayed at in a small village in the Lofoten Islands Norway.
I will be returning to this location again early next February with small group if anyone is interested in joining us I have 2 places left.
If you need any info send me a Flickrmail and I will get back to you.

Correction:
It was built on the site of the Ribble Bus Station, not "a former children's hospital".
Update:
Since corrected.
Amundsen sagte bereits „Es gibt keine Abenteuer, nur schlechte Vorbereitung“. Und so plane ich meine Reisen sehr akribisch, gepäckmäßig fehlt es mir an nichts und ich habe nichts dabei, was ich nicht brauche. Meist habe ich für den Reiseverlauf zwar auch einen Plan B, aber ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es oft besser ist, darauf möglichst zu verzichten, erst recht, wenn man auch zwischendurch eine feste Unterkunft gebucht hat. Und so habe ich bereits im Januar festgelegt, dass ich am 2. September rauf zum Berg Segla steigen und dort oben auch übernachten werde. Ein neues Ultraleicht-Zelt und ein Fotorucksack, bei dem man das Foto-Insert herausnehmen und stattdessen mehr Trekking-Gepäck einpacken kann, machen dies möglich. Und jetzt, hurra, das Wetter ist wie bestellt !!

Amundsen once said, "There is no adventure, only poor preparation." And so I plan my trips very meticulously, I don't lack anything in terms of luggage and I don't take anything with me that I don't need. I usually have a plan B for the itinerary, but I've found that it's often better to do without it if possible, especially if you've booked permanent accommodation in the meantime. And so I decided back in January that I would climb up Mount Segla on September 2nd and spend the night up there. A new ultralight tent and a camera backpack where you can remove the camera insert and pack more trekking gear instead make this possible. And now, hurray, the weather is just what we ordered !!

Thanks for watching the picture before FAVing 😉
Mount Pleasant, Swansea. An old NHS hospital. Formerly a Victorian workhouse built in 1862. Now a private housing estate.
One of the accommodation buildings at Kersfontein, catching brilliant morning sunlight.
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.
The Heygate Estate in Elephant & Castle. For those not familiar with it, yes it has been earmarked for demolition. The buildings were not the prettiest, but they did provide affordable accommodation close to the centre of London, and there lies the problem I imagine. The land bucked the capitalist ideals of London so it had to go.

Soon enough it will warm up, patrons at a local bar will venture outside again, and these patio chairs will be unstacked to accommodate them. In the mean time, abstract juxtapositions of lines and curves catch my attention. It's not one of my stronger suits but worth exploring from a composition point of view.
First morning after descending from Mount Kinabalu. Did a long exposure of the fog sweeping in, if look closely, you can see the light rays between the trees!
Thanks Nora for arranging the accommodation here for us, beautiful place to watch the clouds and Mount Kinabalu.
