The young now seem more inwardly looking, absorbed in their phones and forgeting to look around them. Unlike the older generation which was quick to spot my camera.
'I've been tryin' to change (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tryin' to find somebody to love me (Oh no)
But I end up in the same damn place again
Hoping I could be different
But I'd be playin' pretend
I wish that I was perfect (Just like you)
But I'm an alien (Oh no)
I'm sending out an SOS, take me home
We're not meant to be together, no'

Returned to my "second home " last weekend , for those who didnt know I lived and worked in Torquay for bout ten years ,but left 18 years ago ! never felt more relaxed than down by the harbour , but usually on the side you are seeing in this picture ..so this is why this view is a different one for me , also I wasnt into photography then :-)
a wild rabbit, the white streaks indicate it is probably descended from an escaped pet. Genetic throwbacks in our local rabbits also throw up occasional pure black forms, and pink-eyed albinos...
Something different for today. Prayers for folks next-door in Alabama that got hit by tornadoes last night. We awoke to a tornado watch at 3 a.m. but everything is calm here. Check out the videos of the 2 guys & their dog driving through the wildfires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (Michael Luciano) ... I don't know how they got out of there - angels no doubt. These rains have hopefully helped with the fires.
A different version:
This photo was photographed only a few minutes later. The wind increases a bit and therefore the surface of the Water is more rough. Because the photo has no foreground, I changed the format to a panorama
The 120 kilometres between Dubbo and Molong in Central West New South Wales features about 100 different metal artworks of "animals on bikes". Now this tourist trail was commenced apparently back in the late 2000's so many are somewhat deteriorated, many a fair way back from the road obscured by barbed wire fences and paddock grasses and hard to photograph. But some are newer or properly maintained like this Pig on a bike in the small village of Cumnock. It is also a letterbox as you can see. The real tongue in cheek commentary is that it is in the Police station. Well, Aussies at least will get a laugh out of that and the fact that this one police town can have a laugh at itself too. For those overseas, the word Pig is used by some as a derogatory term for the police.
Thanks for your comments on my holiday teasers.....most will have to wait until we get home. Even in this day and age, some motels limit wifi usage (as ours did in Dubbo), quite annoying really. Also I like more time to roll out the shots. We have sorted out our car and other issues (so far) and are taking things steadily now, no more tempting higher blood pressure!

Anglin's Flishing Pier is the longest pier in South Florida. It is open 24/7 for fishing & featuring a cafe & occasional live music.
The Pier first opened on November 24 1963. It has been, and still is today, an important part of the City, Lauderdale by the Sea offering tourists and fishermen a Great Time. In 2006 the pier suffered damage from Hurricane Wilma and at that time the pier was only open halfway and lost what had been done from the last storm that had damaged it the year before that.
The Pier, as of the Fall of 2006 is open and operating 24 hours a day.
The new owners our happy to keep this Fishing pier going and will be bringing in new ideas and innovative concepts to better offer a unique and pleasurable experience for both the Fisherman and Sightseer. They have ideas for creating ocean viewing windows through the decking of the pier while you stroll. This would give the patrons the chance to look down and through the pier to see the many different sub-tropical and tropical fish that live around the pier in their habitat and also being witness to some unbelievable catches of which so many are in Awe.

Just seven and half kilometers south of Fira, a different side of Santorini emerges, an aspect that harkens back to the picturesque Greek villages of yesteryear. Here, the pace of life is more relaxed; cats stroll in the alleys, families dress up in their Sunday best to go to church, and piano lessons can be heard through the open windows of the cultural society. The main square, with its tall pine trees and quaint little coffee shops, is the focal point for socializing and entertainment. Regardless of the season, its busiest time is noon, when people gather for ouzo or Santorinian beer accompanied by excellent local meze.
This is Pyrgos, the largest preserved village on Santorini and the island’s former capital. Strategically built in the heart of the pre-volcanic hinterland and at the foot of Mt Profitis Ilias, Pyrgos affords panoramic views. Yet, located that bit further from the famous caldera, it has been spared the terraces, balconies, infinity pools and master suites that adorn the glossy covers of tourist magazines the world over. Pyrgos is not swamped by sunset spotters, nor is it the first choice among the hordes of cruise-ship passengers. Its charm is different: more subdued, less picture-perfect, little advertised.
Ask the locals what the difference is between Pyrgos and the rest of the island in terms of social profile, and you’ll get conflicting answers. For some, it’s that the villagers are more cultivated and more united among themselves, while for others, it’s that its location has kept the village relatively untouched – at least for now – by the tourist industry that is flourishing on the island.
It is a fact, however, that on Palm Sunday, as I was going up to the top of the medieval Kasteli (castle), I was overcome with emotion. The historic Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary (1660), one of Santorini’s largest and most important places of worship, was welcoming the faithful for the first time after a lengthy restoration: its masterful pulpit and intricate woodcarved altarpiece have been fully restored after centuries of wear and tear.
If you feel inclined to visit Pyrgos, get your climbing shoes on. This is the only way to explore the Pyrgos Kasteli, the best preserved of the five Venetian castles that once adorned the island. Don’t worry about getting lost; just head uphill from the main square and you’ll find it, a fortress hamlet that started life as a monastery and grew in size after the arrival of the Venetians at the beginning of the 13th century.
Αν και πολλοί γνωρίζουν τη Σαντορίνη για το ηφαιστειακό τοπίο της, τα λευκά σπίτια της, το συναρπαστικό ηλιοβασίλεμα της Οίας και τη διάσημη Καλντέρα, ωστόσο οι ομορφιές του νησιού δεν εξαντλούνται εκεί…
Το νησί έχει πολλούς οικισμούς και χωριά το ένα καλύτερο από το άλλο. Ένα από αυτά τα χωριά ο Πύργος που βρίσκεται σε απόσταση περίπου 10 χιλιομέτρων από τα Φηρά, είναι ίσως το ομορφότερο χωριό του νησιού. Ο Πύργος, η παλιά -έως το 1800- πρωτεύουσα του νησιού βρίσκεται στην ενδοχώρα, στο ψηλότερο σημείο της Σαντορίνης, στον Προφήτη Ηλία.
Στο κέντρο του Πύργου βρίσκεται το μεσαιωνικό κάστρο με τα σπίτια αμφιθεατρικά χτισμένα γύρω του. Συνδυάζει τα χαρακτηριστικά της εποχής της ενετοκρατίας, με διάσπαρτες εκκλησίες, αρχοντικά αλλά και χωριατόσπιτα κι έχει χαρακτηριστεί διατηρητέο μνημείο. Το μοναστήρι του Προφήτη Ηλία είναι μια από τις παλαιότερες εκκλησίες της Σαντορίνης και η ανοικοδόμησή του τοποθετείται χρονικά στον 10ο αιώνα.
Όλο το χωριό είναι μια πρόκληση για τον επισκέπτη, που έχει την ευκαιρία να ανέβει στο κάστρο, να περιηγηθεί στα σοκάκια με το ξεχωριστό «χρώμα» και να απολαύσει το περίφημο σαντορινιό ηλιοβασίλεμα, κι ας μην είναι στην Οία… Το σίγουρο είναι πως αν επισκεφτείτε τη Σαντορίνη μέσα στα πολλά που πρέπει να δείτε και να κάνετε μην αμελήσετε να βάλετε στο πρόγραμμά σας μια επίσκεψη στον Πύργο! Θα σας μαγέψει…
Και κάποιες δικές μου πληροφορίες ...
Την πρώτη φορά που επισκέφτηκα αυτό το χωριό πριν τέσσερα χρόνια νόμισα ότι το εξερεύνησα καλά, αλλά στην πρόσφατη επίσκεψη μου ξανά πρόσφατα, κατάλαβα ποσο λάθος είχα κάνει και ποσό <<τουριστική>> ήταν εκείνη η πρώτη ματιά, άσχετα αν εγώ πίστευα τότε το αντίθετο.
Το χωριό θέλει και προσφέρει καλή εξερευνηση, Ανεβείτε προς την κορυφή και ακόμα και αν σας δώσει την εντύπωση ότι μέχρι εκεί ήταν..απλά συνεχίστε και θα σας αποκαλύψει πολλά πράγματα. Βέβαια αυτό θα το κάνετε και κατα μήκος του χωριού. Πέρα από τα πολλά γραφικά σημεία το χωριό προσφέρει εξαιρετικές αρχιτεκτονικές λεπτομέρειες. Προσωπικά πιστεύω ότι μια επίσκεψη δεν είναι αρκετή, αν όμως δεν έχετε άλλο χρόνο προτιμήστε απογευματινή ώρα μιας και πιστεύω ότι το φως λειτουργεί καλύτερα τότε.
In fact two different poppies, I think, on the riverside walk opposite Victoria Park. From nothing just a couple of weeks back, these giant Poppies grow to at least three feet, and are a curious mixture of strength, in the new flower buds, and fragility in the papery petals.
The flooding of this valley by the beaver pond has killed the trees and different plants have moved in.

Part of what is so intriguing about photography is the unique way that different exposures can fundamentally change scenes. This, for example, was the purposeful underexposure of a scene for a series of bracketed shots. But the heightened drama by imperfections in the lighting (dark, moody shadows, heavy vignette) made the image particularly stunning to me.
