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 !
Alresford, Hampshire
We have done this walk many times with our friends and pass this cottage built over the River Alre. It's truely a picture postcard shot. I've never taken my camera before so grabbed the opportunity this time. Not particularly happy with the shots as the light didn't do it justice but I may post one if I can do something in post processing however, here's one of the garden of said cottage.
Conwy Castle, North Wales
A second image from my trip at the weekend. I probably should have uploaded this one first as it's taken half an hour earlier and is the first image using my new Lee filters. I know I tried the 0.6 medium ND grad first so this is probably one of those. Note to self... make a note next time!
I've gone for the desaturated look just to make it different from my previous upload and it's a fair reflection on my general condition - late night film coupled with early set-off time - not the best of preparations!
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.

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.
For more information, just Google “TANKFEST, The Tank Museum, Bovington.”

A couple of the dozen or so Turnstones that are almost resident at Brixham harbour in Devon. These wonderful little birds are not worried by people or dogs just running out of the way until the coast is clear before coming back to look for sandwich and lunch crumbs that have been dropped.
