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 :)
When we first arrived, I was not too sure the hotel I had picked for this part of the trip in Iceland was a real good decision ... it was quite convoluted to get there, I noticed the hotel was going through some renovation etc .... and I feared that it was going to be less than an ideal accommodation for two very tired travelers suffering from jet lag. It turned out that I was totally wrong. The hotel was extremely quiet, pleasant and comfortable... Furthermore, an employee who saw me unloading my camera gear from the vehicle was curious about what I was interested in photographing... When he found out, he offered to take me to a few nesting locations around the hotel... I did not know what to expect but I was kind of flabbergasted when he took me to this nest of the Horned Grebe... This is a pretty rare bird for Iceland. Less than 700 pairs breed in Iceland. I never expected we were going to find this bird during that trip and it was no going to be dramatic as we can fairly easily access this bird in BC. However, I felt so fortunate to have access to this nesting area in Iceland... What a great way to start a bird photography trip... Life feels so good when it puts on your path such genuinely generous people... fully disinterested who just wanted to be kind from the goodness of their heart ...sadly enough perhaps another endangered species :(
A whole village of houses on stilts, along Weld Quay along the eastern edge of Georgetown, Penang.
A few villages were built by Chinese immigrants in the early to mid 19th century, when Penang was experiencing an economic boom due to its strategic position as a British shipping centre to export tin, as well as a major spice production centre. People still live there today and it is listed as a UNESCO heritage site offering tourist accommodation.
This was my only decent shot before it got dark.
I was really busy at work today and it was dark by the time I finished. So I had to pull something out from the past. I had so many photos from that trip, lots that I hadn't looked at or processed.
Student accommodation being built in Leeds city centre.
👏 Thank you all so very much for your comments, 👏
Sunrise at a 5 star lodge accommodation near Te Anau. My wife found a deal on the internet! You might notice the "grain" (noise) where I extracted as much shadow detail as I could from a single RAW file (and forgot to turn down the ISO after astro shots the night before). In hindsight I could have taken a second shot to get the foreground but there we are. Have a great Thursday (8 17 am here) and thanks for visiting.

This was the surprise bird of my Costa Rica trip. When it landed at the back of the garden of our accommodation I was having breakfast but thankfully had my camera at my side. It flew into the forest before I could grab the camera but thankfully we managed to keep eyes on it. It didn't really give us a clear shot as it moved around but to be honest it was just marvellous to spend time observing it as well as getting a few shots.
The Ornate Hawk-Eagle is aptly named, with piercing golden eyes and striking black, white, and chestnut plumage. This extraordinary raptor also has a crest of long black feathers, which the bird may keep flattened or held erect when excited. The birds are often seen soaring high above the rainforest canopy on broad, short wings while giving their repeated piping calls.
Back to Orkney and the Island of Westray. This is Noup Head with an amazing cliff face used by nesting gannets and guillemots.
KARANGA CAMP (4400m)
Machame Route
Mount Kilimanjaro
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.

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. :-)

Back in September
In the Brookside pub,
Windermere.
Watching Burnley beat Leeds United 1-0 at Elland road.
There were two football matches on the TV’s (I asked if they’d put the Burnley game on)
We’d previously phoned two other pubs to ask if they were showing the Burnley game, they weren’t. One of them mentioned that the Brookside might be! Bingo… only a five minute walk from our accommodation too!
The Burnley game and the Manchester United game were being shown.
My brother in law and nephew watched the Man Utd game, my father in law kept an eye on both games, I watched the Burnley game. We were all sat at the same table!
My nephew is 29 yo. Two pubs in Windermere wouldn’t serve him because they thought he was underage!!

This old church hall has been turned into living accommodation. If buildings had soul it would have many memories.
Mount Pleasant, Swansea. An old NHS hospital. Formerly a Victorian workhouse built in 1862. Now a private housing estate.
We drove to Davos today. Our accommodation is on the edge of town, near the lake. Very pleasant.
This afternoon we took the mountain railway and then the cable car up to the top of Weissfluh mountain, 2843 metres above sea level (9327ft).
There are amazing views from up there, which this lady was obviously enjoying with her very well behaved dog.
First light revealing where you can overnight in luxurious Junk accommodation , off the islands of Ha Long Bay in this tranquil setting, camera recommended.
The Eshaness lighthouse in Shetland, Scotland, was built from concrete in 1929, the last manned lighthouse built by the famous Stevenson family. It was designed to keep ships away from the offshore Ve Skerries (rocky islands). It was not that effective, so a lighthouse was built on the Ve Skerries in 1979 to protect traffic to and from the heavily trafficked Sullom Voe terminal for North Sea oil. The lighthouse is now available for self-catering accommodation.

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.
Built in 1925 in a traditional historic style featured by neoclassicism and neo-baroque motives. Arhitect Artur Medlinger. Initially there were 100 rooms, four halls, terraces and a beautiful park with fountains around the building. In the 1930s there were held traditional jazz band concerts “Five o’clock tee dancing”. The building with corner pavilions is a monument of architecture.
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.
Thank you for any and all views, faves, invites to groups, comments and constructive critique. I’m not keen on: invitations to post 1 award 3; copy and paste comments (you know who you are); or links to your work. If you like my images there is a good chance I will like yours and I tend to reciprocate views as a matter of courtesy and personal interest. All my images are my own original work, under my copyright, with all rights reserved. This means asking the owner's permission, and obtaining it, before using the image for ANY purpose.
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.

Day 41. Spur of the moment shot as I left work. I hadn't noticed before that this construction site was lit up at night. Looks kinda cool. This is the Morgan Sindall Student Accommodation construction near the Norwich Bus Station.

These summer camps are great but you have to wait till nearly midnight to try any night shots .
Looking inside my Alpkit Soloist as I was getting ready to bed down for the night on the summit of Mardale lll Bell above Haweswater.
Park Inn by Radisson hotel at corner of Lāčplēša Street and Krišjāņa Barona Street in Riga. The closest is the former Daile cinema building. The project was designed by architect Paul Mandelstam in 1913. The implementation of the project was disrupted by the First World War, and construction work was postponed for almost two decades. In 1936, construction was resumed by the then-landowner Fricis Nāruns and civil engineer Teodors Hermanovskis. It was opened on December 19, 1936. The cinema was the first in Latvia to be built especially for sound films, the premises were designed to accommodate about 660 spectators.
