Walking the Flamborough coastal path and approaching the Lighthouse you can find examples of many coastal landforms, arches, stacks, stumps and wave cut platforms.The White chalk cliffs lie in distinct horizontal layers, formed from the remains of tiny sea creatures millions of years ago.

Trwyn Du Lighthouse, also known as Penmon Lighthouse, is a lighthouse between Black Point near Penmon and Ynys Seiriol, or Puffin Island, at the eastern extremity of Anglesey, marking the passage between the two islands. The first lighthouse was erected in 1838, at a price of £11,589. There had been a call for a light at this location for some years by master shipmen in the nearby city of Liverpool, especially after the steamer the Rothsay Castle ran aground and broke up on nearby Lavan Sands in 1831 with 130 people losing their lives. The present Lighthouse, built 1835-1838, is 29m tall and was designed by James Walker. It was his first sea-washed tower, and a prototype for his more ambitious tower on the Smalls.

This was taken on my last day trip to London which included some London underground shots. This one was at Gants Hill station on the eastern edge of the Central Line. The lines run either side of this Hall which is notable for its Art Deco look and symmetry. I have taken shots here before but I thought it was really worth a revisit. The station is usually quite quiet but when a man came and sat in the near seat I decided it improved the image.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10 mm. I took 3 shots for HDR but in the end used just the one with RAW editing, I used Topaz DeNoise and Topaz Clarity. I added a slight vignette using just the vignette feature of Topaz Adjust. A little cloning to remove small lights on the edges of the picture.

"Chudy Wojtek" (Thin Adalbert) - building a water intake on the 508 kilometer route navigable Vistula river. It is a fragment (complementary intake) belonging to the system "Gruba Kaska" (Fat Katy) - the largest infiltration water intake in Europe. The system started working September 22, 1964 year. Daily absorb about 65 thousand cubic meters of water. It provides water for 1/3 of the inhabitants of Warsaw.
Thank you all for your visits, faves and comments. That to me is really motivating. All the best :)
The "Nottingham Eye" (name later changed due to legal pressure from the London Eye), in Nottingham's Market Square. Unlike its more metropolitan cousin, the eye (now "the Wheel of Nottingham") is 60m high, and is only present in the city in February each year.
I particularly like this view for the sense of scale, and how the black night sky make it seem like a satellite, NASA space station or an interstellar probe.

Entrance to Portpatrick harbour,This lighthouse was taken over by the Commissioners of Northern Lights when Portpatrick ceased to be a packet port under Admiralty control. The light was discontinued in 1900, now a pottery shop unfortunately closed the time we where here due to the corvid pandemic but peering through the windows there was certainly items i would of liked to be taking home with me as a reminder of my wonderful time here in Portpatrick.

Perch Rock Lighthouse. The name comes from a Perch; a timber tripod supporting a lantern first erected in 1683 as a crude beacon to allow shipping to pass the rock safely. As the Port of Liverpool developed in the Nineteenth Century the perch was deemed inadequate as it required constant maintenance and only produced a limited light. Construction of the present tower began in 1827 by Tomkinson & Company using blocks of interlocking Anglesey granite using dovetail joints and marble dowels. It was designed to use many of the same construction techniques used in the building of John Smeaton's Eddystone Lighthouse 70 years earlier. Modelled on the trunk of an oak tree, it is a free standing white painted tower with a red iron lantern. It is 29 m (95 ft) tall. It was first lit in 1830 and displayed two white flashes followed by a red flash every minute; the light-source was thirty Argand lamps, mounted on a three-sided revolving array (ten lamps on each side, with red glass mounted in front of one side). There were also three bells mounted under the gallery to serve as a fog signal; they were tolled by the same clockwork mechanism that caused the lamps to revolve

This Guilford icon, built at the turn of the 20th century as a summer cottage, burned down and was rebuilt in the 1930's. It recently got renovated again as John Markowski's Eagle Scout Project.

Millennium Bridge | South Bank | London
I spent yesterday evening walking around London. Whilst the country was busy appointing our new Prime Minister, I was observing Londoners going about their busy lives.
Taking The Shot
I setup my camera & tripod at the end of the Millennium Bridge, looking towards the iconic St Paul's Cathedral (from The South Bank). I positioned myself in the centre, composing my shot to feature some architectural symmetry.
I applied my Lee Filters "Little Stopper" to enable the use of a slow shutter speed (2 second exposure), so I could capture the blurred movement of the people. My aim was to convey the pace of the hustle & bustle of tourists and commuters alike...
About The Bridge Source = Wikipedia
The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London. It is located between Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. It is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction began in 1998 and it initially opened in June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians felt unexpected swaying motion. The bridge was closed later on opening day and, after two days of limited access, it was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the motion. It reopened in 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near the Globe theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, the north end next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view (i.e. a "terminating vista") of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.

Please feel free to comment. It's lovely to be praised, but, if you see something which could improve an image don't be afraid to say! There are several of my contacts who give my images honest appraisal and I am grateful for that.

St. Luke’s, Little Akaloa built in 1906 by local farmer and craftsman, John Menzies, is notable for its location, on a wooded knoll high above the bay, and for its stunning carvings in timber and Mt Somers stone, depicting Maori designs. In 2014, St. Luke’s underwent extensive renovations to repair minor earthquake damage and bring this beautiful building fully up to code.
The name should of course be Little Akaroa but reflects the southern Maori pronunciation of 'r'. The settlement was designated 'little' to distinguish it from Akaroa. It was spelt Hakaroa until 1864.

Portpatrick is small harbour with a narrow somewhat tricky entrance. It is set midway along the west coast of Galloway an area beset by strong tidal streams. Being only 14 miles away from the Irish coast, it popular with Northern Ireland boats. At one time Portpatrick was used for commercial traffic to Ireland, but was abandoned for this purpose in 1870. The Rhins of Galloway is the 26 mile long peninsular, with Portpatrick located about midway.
