Last year we walked around the lake. This year we admired it from above because in the meantime Mogli has made huge progress in ignoring the marmots. No we are spoiled for choice. There are so many great hiking trails in Graubünden (canton of Grisons).

I took this shot just outside of my local store. A group of biker riders where getting ready to leave after they coffee and lunch at the Oberon Cafe.

The cornfield across the street from the radio station where I work was being harvested today. As I was leaving work, I snapped this picture, then headed home to spend the evening with my wife. #Industrial #flickrfriday

A large wharf existed on the left of the photo here in Wingham in the early days where droghers and log punts would come to this point to load timber and other produce for transport downstream and even out of the Manning River entrance at Harrington. The crossing of the river bar to the open sea was treacherous in those days with many ships coming to grief on the Harrington bar. Today the entire entrance passage along the Harrington breakwall is closed by sand buildup as a result of increasing frequency of drought as well as big increases in land clearing in the catchment areas.

With floods now-a-days so rare the old shipway entrance shoals are almost never flushed so entry in and out of the Manning River is impossible, even to small boats.

This point shown here in this photo, was as far as it was possible to navigate up the Manning River. The Bight Bridge a few hundred metres upstream makes any further navigation impossible.

The great-granddaughter of E.R. Stack cut the ribbon to officially open the Wingham pontoon wharf named in honour of her ancestor.

Lucy Hardyman joined other members of the Stack family at the ceremony at the Wingham River Reserve on 15th December 2010.

Though the rain tumbled down, the many people involved in the long effort to see the pontoon wharf become a reality gathered to celebrate the moment.

The combined Rotary Clubs of the Manning Valley, under the direction of then president Maurie Stack, raised the sum of $50,000 as the community’s contribution towards construction of several pontoons along the river.

A further contribution from the Greater Taree City Council plus a matching government grant enabled the project to go ahead.

The aim was to position pontoons at strategic locations along the river to encourage greater usage of the river for recreational purposes. Rotary funds were raised through a fun gaming night that included an auction of sporting memorabilia and goods donated by local businesses and generous donors.

A similar pontoon wharf was opened in Taree and both will be useful attractions for all boat owners along the Manning River.

A large replica of the Rotary wheel has been attached to the pontoon as a tribute to Rotary’s contribution.

Rain clouds begin to gather over the property where my wife and I live.

Taken in Hagar Qim, Malta.

The uninhabited island of Filfla is the most southerly point of the Maltese Archipelago. The limestone plateau stands some 60m above sealevel and has an area of around 6 acres. Until 1971 the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force used the island for target practice. Onwards from 1980 Filfla was declared a nature reserve and a Natura 2000 site.

This is the view from the cliffs by the Megalithic Hagar Qim Temple, 3600-3200BC. The changeable weather saw heavy low cloud moving across Malta then out to sea obscuring the afternoon sun creating a very surreal scene. Many thanks for looking.

The western end of the spectacular gash through the hillside which is the Coldberry Gutter. Created by glacial meltwater, it has been extensively mined in the late 1800's and early 1900s. Spoli heaps at the bottom of the gulley are from the Red Grooves mine. The abandoned Red Grooves house sits on the hillside next to it.

Taken while out shooting some cityscapes. I'd decided to switch from a wide angle to a telephoto lens to see if I could capture some finer detail but just after I mounted the lens this seagull flew over head and I scrambled to capture it. Now while this shot is far from perfect, it reminds me that you never know what you'll find from one day to the next and to all ways be ready for something unexpected.

This Short Bill Corella was on his way to his favourite spot on the powerline.

this wood at potholm is being clear felled of sitka spruce,for a replant with natural hardwood trees,one man and one machine is all that is needed,in my early days as a tree cutter 3-4 of us would have been there for a few weeks with chainsaws-now it can be done in a few days.langholm,dumfriesshire,scotland. view large

Not long after I took this photo the lightning started and it got really windy and it started to rain heavily.

A very swollen River Tees creates an island from the spit of land at the north side of the waterfall.

a very wet and misty - early spring morning. at the top of the haysike road, with the borthwick valley, cowhill, (cowlady hill) borthaugh hill, todshiehaugh, then onwards to roberton in the background, the right road by crumhaughill was my choice, only 3mls home, the left road down haysike 6mls home, the right road looks over the two valleys and gives you more allround views to picture. there is about 1 ton of stone per yard in these old drystane dykes, and these old walls stretch for a long way. hawick, scottish borders, scotland.

Managed to get out and about this afternoon and get some shots of Llyn Padarn.

My original intention was to get some long exposures at Penmon Lighthouse on Anglesey, but the sky was just flat and grey grey grey. It would just have looked washed out so i'll save that for another trip.

view soon to change forever. due to the hawick flood relief scheme, what a waste of money, it won't work. looking down stream towards remains off weensland cauld, river teviot. hawick, scottish borders, scotland. (failed the first time the river flooded)

Chartwell, Kent

Bought by Sir Winston Churchill for its magnificent views over the Weald of Kent, Chartwell was his home and the place from which he drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life. The rooms remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the career and wide-ranging interests of this great statesman. The hillside gardens reflect Churchill's love of the landscape and nature. They include the lakes he created, Lady Churchill's Rose Garden and the kitchen garden. Many of Churchill's paintings can be seen in the studio.

We have just left Hargraves Lookout and waiting for the green light just behind us is the railway track.
