As part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations the Humber Bridge was adorned with a Union flag on the top of each tower. However there wasn’t much wind to make them billow and in any case they weren’t that big to make them stand out, and don’t show on this image. Nonetheless a pleasant sunset which provided a double sun star.
Another shot of one of the pretty mountain lakes of Macun. It's a rather longish hike, all in all, but I can't wait to go there again.

So, once when I was walking, I was following the "foot" prints of a horse and I realised it was an upturned smiley face. I printed the picture of it and also a version with gaussian blur on it. These two bits of paper are held on a metal box by a magnetic smiley face clip.
I was set up in the alley to get some shots of people passing by when all of the sudden a guy comes running down the alley with a car behind him. Being an idiot photographer, I keep shooting and don't get out of the way. I end up with three shots of the guy running, none of which alone really tells the story. Thanks to the miracle of photoshop, I have added the last shot of the figure into the first shot of the sequence. I normally only use photoshop for slight exposure adjustments and minor cropping but I could not help myself in this case. FYI the car turned on to the street and the guy was an accountant running to catch a train. Nothing sinister all.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

A pretty similar comp to another shot I've seen in the last few days, but hey ho, you can see my version as well 😊
The view from Side Pike down to the very lovely Blea Tarn.
Enjoying a nature walk, past a few semi-wooded fields, I came across these two-coloured tulips – so unexpected, so vibrant! Amongst the trees and the various grasses, these red and yellow tulips stuck out like beacons in an otherwise green and untended landscape. I wonder who it was that one day decided to plant those bulbs out there!

Cypripedium calceolus (Gelber Frauenschuh, Lady's slipper orchid) Karlschütt, Steiermark, Austria. I noticed a lot of double-headed lady's slippers this year, but maybe they were there every year anyway.
My 'Double Delight' hybrid tea-roses.
Today in Sydney, amid monsoon-like, non-stop, rain. And we also experienced hideous tropical-cyclone style winds.
Thursday, 22nd October, 2026.
'Double Delight' is a fragrant, variegated, hybrid tea-rose that was bred in the United States by Swim & Ellis and introduced in 1977. Its parents were two hybrid tea cultivars, the red and yellow 'Granada' and the ivory 'Garden Party'.
Now growing in my garden in the Hills District of Sydney.
