Found our way to this deserted shoreline on the Island of Assateague. One of the strangest areas ever.

What you don't see is our finding of a rather large amount of dead and decaying creatures, some on the shoreline, some further inland; some looked unrecognizable even in pre-decay; like they were some kind of experiment.

There was also this giant satellite type dish and other industrial objects pointing skyward....Seriously....this was like nothing we ever saw and needless to say we didn't stay long. Creepy.

This Raven was flying back and forth with food to feed his young that was waiting in the tree.

A day of fleeting brightness and heavy squally showers creates excellent rainbow conditions. This one at Bowlees captured on an elderly Canon A720 IS pocket camera - not bad for an 8mp device that only does jpgs.

Snow covers the three highest points in the Pennines. From left to right, Great Dun Fell with the NATS radar dome on the summit (848 metres (2,782 ft)), Little Dun Fell (842m (2763ft)) and Cross Fell, the highest point in the Pennines at 893 metres (2930 feet). The Pennine Way long distance footpath crosses all three summits. A couple of fleeting patches of sunlight on Forest in Teesdale in the middle distance, including one on the High Force hotel. Taken from Stable Edge above Newbiggin.

I didn't enjoy this challenge as I couldn't think what to do for it. So in my usual last minute panic, I went into the town centre and climbed to the top of the hill...now this is a very brave thing for me to do as I'm terrified of heights...and took some photos looking down, even though I wanted to close my eyes and I was very wobbly! It's a miserable grey, wet day and the photos aren't wonderful so I have resorted to HDR and this is the result.

Looking west, all along the line.

This telegraph-pole sure looks busy.
