Third day of UK (and Europe) heatwave. Today was the hottest day so far, but down here it didn't feel as hot as Tuesday, or maybe we're just getting used to it!

Two bridges afternoon walk.

I've been doing a walk every afternoon after work, but not seen much to catch my eye to photograph.

Today I had a change of scenery, as they have opened the Twin Sails bridge, so they could close Poole Bridge to finish the re-surfacing.

From the look of the Twin Sails lift, it appears not to be fixed properly so expecting to go back to one bridge again!

The bridges saga is never ending.

A stroll on Sandbanks Beach. I've got a feeling I'm going to posting a lot of photos over the next few weeks. Photography is a good distraction in difficult times.

We stopped off at Waitrose in Wimborne to get a paper and a few bits and this was going on next door!

The sun just slipped behind the clouds, but still a lovely sky

Bournemouth 10.09.2020

Just uploading a quick snap I took on my walk today. This is part of the improvements in the area around the bridges. It's now much more enjoyable and safe to walk and cycle in this area.

This photo didn't quite work out as the head is not in focus, but liked the colour and feathers, so have added "Orton effect" in photoshop.

New benches appearing around the town. From this one, you can sit and look at the empty M & S store! It's located outside a former furniture store (now used as offices).

Another crisp sunny day.

Boscombe Pier, near Bournemouth 27.02.2022

We went to a couple of different locations, and I took a different camera (with a flip screen). The sun didn't appear, so will try again next weekend. They are not fully out so they should be lush by next weekend.

Bikers night on Poole Quay, which is on every Tuesday in the summer. I used the Lumix GX80 with the 45-150 lens for a change.

24.08.2021

I was planning to go out yesterday afternoon, but had to stay in as the boiler packed in. Luckily it was fixed promptly by British Gas homecare.

So we went out this afternoon into the hills around Bulbarrow., There was still lots of lying snow and some roads still treacherous.
