You must have ducked down as I took this Jan.
This is a Flickr 'first' because it's the only photo on Flickr using horse manure as a texture !!
I think :o)
If anyone knows different, do please let me know, or maybe not !
Coming back we visited Ploumanac'h and the côte de granit rose and the famous lighthouse. A huge chunk of pink granite.
Had I been on the port side of the boat I may have had a chance to photo a shark that was swimming near a fishing boat we passed.

Thank you for your favourites.
Taken looking towards Christchuch, Dorset. I believe this is a church in the background.
I was out testing my new (old) 70-300 lens so playing around with different focus and aperture settings

The Swanage Railway is a railway branch line from near Wareham, Dorset to Swanage, Dorset, England, opened in 1885 and the passenger service was withdrawn in 1972.
A heritage railway group revived part of the line; it too used the name Swanage Railway and now operates a 9.5-mile (15.3 km) line which follows the route of the former line from Wareham to Swanage with stops at Norden, Corfe Castle, Harman's Cross and Herston Halt.
The shots inside the train were filmed in 2019, whilst the rest of the footage was shot between 2011 and 2019. The female voices were created for free in voicemaker.in/ and possibly many of the facts are actually true.
The music is a change in style from my usual thing, I thought a more classical style would suit the video
As it is Summer...just had to add this one from my other flickr albums...acrylic,pastel and pencils...Brighton
Not the best of shots, and too backlit for my liking, but with the lack of recent railway photographs, this is possibly better than nothing!?

The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, Friday 23rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
Here, a re-actor is dressed up as a German armoured car crew member, and sitting at the top of the turret. He is seen wearing a patrol cap and goggles.
The vehicle he is riding in is a Second World War German armoured reconnaissance vehicle known as the Sd.Kfz 222.
Sd.Kfz is an abbreviation of Sonderkraftfahrzeug, which is German language meaning special purpose vehicle.
In the Sd.Kfz numbering system, the range of 200 to 299 is generally for reconnaissance vehicles, armoured cars, and armoured personal carriers.
The vehicle seen in the photo is a Leichter Panzerspähwagen, German for light armoured reconnaissance vehicle.
It was manufactured by Horch, from around 1935 to 1944, and used a petrol V8 engine. It is a four wheel drive, designed for off-roading.
However it was said that it performed well in countries with good road systems like in Western Europe, but is hampered with poor off-road performance at the Russian Front and in the North African campaign.
Here in the photo, it is being driven around the showground, and carrying out a re-enactment show for the visitors, during the TANKFEST event.
About TANKFEST and The Tank Museum.
The Tank Museum is found next to the British Army military base, simply called Bovington Camp, and is used by various tank regiments.
The writer Rudyard Kipling once visited Bovington in 1923, and saw some damaged tanks left from the First World War. He recommended that a museum should be set up.
However the museum was simply a shed, and was not open to the public until about 1947, when the museum was finally set up.
By about 1982, the museum was expanded and modernized, it housed many various different tanks in the Exhibition halls, along with working tanks which are often show in the live action arena.
The museum also has the only working German Tiger I tank, known as Tiger 131.
TANKFEST is an annual live action re-enactment event showing off various working tanks in staged display, in the museum’s showground known as Kuwait Arena.
