Crept out of our accommodation at 7am whilst staying at Bognor Regis. Sun only visible for five minutes before disappearing into cloud.
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 :)

Another shot of Beckley Point in Plymouth, taken on an evening out with Jay Stone.
Beckley Point is Plymouth's newest student accommodation tower block and at 23 floors it's the tallest building in the South West. A lot of local people think it looks ugly and is a blot on the landscape, but at night I think it looks pretty cool.
I do like doing night time photography, I don't do enough of it but I think we're quite limited in Plymouth. We don't have lots of lit up buildings and futuristic looking skyscrapers like they do in London, so once you've shot an area here at night there aren't really many options left.

KARANGA CAMP (4400m)

Usually, weather changes along the day in Mount Kilimanjaro. It's very common during the morning begins a sunny and warm weather and while pass the day it changes to a cloudy and cold. Even, It's not rare that it rains in the afternoon.
These tents form part of the Karanga Camp.
The mountain you can see on the background of this photography is the Kilimanjaro peak.

Tanzania, February 2016
Glenshee lies just off the A93 road some 20 miles north of Blairgowrie. The resort is titled the 3 valleys of Scotland and when all lifts are open, the ski area really is quite extensive by British standards. Served mainly by drag lifts due to persistently high winds you can ski in relatively remote locations on the slopes of Glas Moal, to the east. The steepest run at Glenshee is probably the west wall on the side of Glas Moal but it is the Tiger Bumps that people seem to remember. This run is served by a Poma Triple, installed in 2015; you have 250metres of vertical descent straight back down. The longest lift served vertical is on Glas Maol, which has 301m of vertical with the highest lift at 1029m. On its day, Glenshee can offer knee deep powder but it is often hard, icy and dogged by chilling winds. Accommodation can be found in Blairgowrie to the south or in Braemar to the North. One final comment; the A93 is known to block very easily and road conditions can be very hazardous so make sure you go prepared with a shovel and some grit!

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926. To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere"). The park has nine main gates allowing entrance to the different camps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruger_National_Park

Correction:
It was built on the site of the Ribble Bus Station, not "a former children's hospital".
Update:
Since corrected.
After settling into Rifugio Fanes, our accommodation for the night, I wandered down to a nearby waterhole which I had noticed on our way there.
When I first got there, these peaks were dull as clouds were covering the sun, so I had been facing the opposite direction. But then I turned around a saw this! One of the best, if not the best view of the whole hike. And I was the only person there to enjoy it.

A magical place. We were fortunate to be able to spend three nights in Manarola. I can spot our accommodation in this photo, but too hard to explain which one it is!
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.

If you're on the hunt for a new property that's a little out of the ordinary, Little River's Silo Stay may tick all your boxes.
Located in 'the gateway to the Banks Peninsula', the property is approximately 45 minutes drive from Christchurch on the main route to Akaroa.
Comprised of nine silo units, the former agricultural complex was converted into boutique accommodation in 2012.
Green is not my favourite colour but that's what it had so I made it a wide-angle shot.
Looking down to the Kurilpa Bridge - a bicycle and pedestrian bridge across the river from the city area to the art gallery and museum complex (on the right in this shot).
The under-construction skyscraper at 1 William Street (center left) will be the tallest in the city at 259.8 metres. The modern style office building is located in the Brisbane central business district in close proximity to Parliament House. The building is being developed for the Queensland Government as part of the government's plan for a renewed Government Administrative Precinct and to meet its accommodation demands. Construction cost of the tower is expected to be $538 million, with a total development cost of over $650 million. It is to be completed in September 2016. Very opulent inside apparently! Three base jumpers were recently spotted and arrested after climbing to the top of the tall crane and jumping from it one night.
This is the view from the area where out conference room was looking across at one of the room buildings where I stayed when at the Speke Conference centre, I am over travelling so much these days, but as you have seen was sure a beautiful place to stay
Hope everyones weekend has started well
better on B l a c k M a g i c
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.

Kedron Lodge was one of the first Brisbane dwellings designed by architect Christopher Potter. It was built by John Petrie, for the first judge of the Queensland Supreme Court, Alfred James Lutwyche (1810-80). The judge had purchased portion 18 of 35 acres (14 hectares) for £35 in January 1860. He established a very viable farm and orchard, and built stables to satisfy his horse-racing interests. He was an acknowledged gourmet and bon-vivant, as well as a leading Anglican and controversial judge.
William H Kent, a race-horse owner and grazier, was the next inhabitant from about 1890 to 1905. He added a ballroom to the house, established a noteworthy garden and utilised the stables. In subsequent years Kedron Lodge was rented till purchased by a Mr Walton, who was responsible for the subdivision of the estate.
From 1930-89 the Lodge was owned by the Catholic Church. During this era it was a home for priests, a convent and finally a youth refuge. The subsequent owners have stinted little in returning the home to its former status.
The Catholic Church remains next door.

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.
These summer camps are great but you have to wait till nearly midnight to try any night shots .

Das Zeughaus in der Altstadt von Augsburg wurde in den Jahren 1602 bis 1607 von Elias Holl erbaut. Die Entwürfe für die Fassade – die je nach Autor entweder noch der Renaissance oder bereits dem Barock zugeordnet wird – stammen von Joseph Heintz. Die St.-Michaels-Gruppe über dem Portal wurde gestaltet von dem Bildhauer Hans Reichle und gegossen von Wolfgang Neidhardt.
Erbaut wurde das Zeughaus als Waffenarsenal und Unterbringungsmöglichkeit für bis zu 3000 Soldaten. Nach dem Ende der Augsburger Reichsfreiheit ging das Gebäude in das Eigentum des Königreichs Bayern über, seine ursprüngliche Nutzung wurde jedoch beibehalten. Im Jahr 1893 zum Preis von 195.000 Goldmark von der Stadt Augsburg zurückgekauft, wurde es ab 1899 als städtische Feuerwache genutzt.
Das britische Bombardement Augsburgs im Februar 1944 überstand Elias Holls architektonisches Meisterwerk weitgehend unversehrt.
Nachdem die Augsburger Feuerwehr im Jahr 1975 eine neue Hauptfeuerwache an der Berliner Allee bezogen hatte, wurde das Zeughaus ab 1978 umfassend renoviert. Im Dezember 1980 als Bildungs- und Begegnungszentrum der Stadt Augsburg wiedereröffnet, beherbergt der historische Bau seitdem großzügige Versammlungs- und Ausstellungsräume und eine Gaststätte mit weitläufigem Biergarten.

The Arsenal in the historic centre of Augsburg was built between 1602 and 1607 by Elias Holl. The designs for the façade - which, depending on the author, is either still Renaissance or already Baroque - were made by Joseph Heintz. The St. Michael's sculpture group above the portal was designed by the sculptor Hans Reichle and cast by Wolfgang Neidhardt.
The Arsenal was built as an arms arsenal and accommodation for up to 3,000 soldiers. After the end of Augsburg's imperial freedom, the building became the property of the Kingdom of Bavaria, but its original use was retained. Bought back by the city of Augsburg in 1893 at a price of 195,000 gold marks, it was used as a municipal fire station from 1899.
Elias Holl's architectural masterpiece survived the British bombing of Augsburg in February 1944 largely unscathed.
After the Augsburg fire brigade had a new main fire station in 1975, the arsenal was extensively renovated from 1978 onwards. Reopened in December 1980 as an education and meeting centre for the city of Augsburg, the historic building has since housed spacious meeting and exhibition rooms and a restaurant with an extensive beer garden.
