Notwithstanding the comprehensive renovation of the Plaza d´Espana edifice and its canal and water supply, there was presumably a porblem with the water level of the wonderful Plaza d'Espana.
It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of Regionalist architecture, mixing elements of the Baroque -, Renaissance - and Moorish (neo-Mudéjar) revival styles of Spanish architecture. It was designed by Aníbal González. Currently a military museum and government offces are housed here.
This is number 22 of the new Sevilla album and 110 of Adventures in chaos.
An early September morning shot across the River Avon in Warkwickshire, UK, towards a fleet of hire rowing boats for visitors to Stratford, home of William Shakespeare.

It's funny when you see a photo posted by a fellow photographer of a place they recently visited and it immediately reminds you of a time when you visited it with your camera.
In this case the photographer is Phil Norton and I shall post his image below in the comment boxes. He's a Nisi Ambassador so if anyone requires any information on filters, he's a great guy to ask.
The place is the little fishing tarn of Llyn Y Dywarchen in Snowdonia. The date was Saturday 5th August 2011, the time 10pm. I visited this wonderful little place and decided that the rowing boats needed some illumination, so out came the head torch and fifteen seconds later, voilà
I hope you all like it. Have a great day guys and girls.

Another slide restoration which takes us to Scotland. This really was in a bad way when I first looked at it, and the cardboard mount had started to rot, so anything written or printed there is lost.
I think the Coca-Cola advertising logo on the building dates from the late 1950s. My guess is the slide was probably taken around seven years later at the earliest.
I've tried to find if this still exists, but recent photos haven't been conclusive to me, as so much change in the way of remodelling or simple redevelopment could have taken place in the 50 or so years since this was taken.
Regardless, it's an interesting scene.
Rowing boats on Shaw's Lake, Glenanne, County Armagh. A beautiful sunset over the still lake made for some lovely reflections. Shot at F 7.1 and focsued on the boats - about 1/3 the way into the scene to try to maximise sharpness.
Not long had my circular polariser when I took this and thought I needed to use it for everything! In fairness, it did extend the exposure time by a few stops and added a lot more colour than was actually there, so on this occasion I’m hoping to be left alone for my poor technique:)
Overlooking the little Harbour of Doo Lough, know as "black lake" as it's settled in between two large mountainous hillsides and the reflection of the hills makes the lake appear dark. Situated between Delphi and Louisburgh in Co. Mayo

Polperro is a fishing port on a rocky coastline near Looe, with narrow, cobbled alleys and houses perched on slopes above the harbour.
Much of the village dates to the 13th century, and for many years the prosperity of Polperro was founded on the pilchard fishery. When the pilchard fishery waned, smuggling became perhaps the major source of Polperro's riches. One well-known smuggler was Willy Wilcox, who, according to legend, was lost in the bewildering network of caves that wind through the cliffs.
Now the village relies on tourism, with visitors drawn by the tightly packed lanes and idyllic fishermen's' cottages that line the picturesque harbour. Most of the buildings near the harbour are untouched by time, giving Polperro a quaint, old world feel.

Twin Peaks... ah those of a certain vintage will remember what a ground breaking TV programme that was. Probably the pre-cursor to the Netflix age. Not that I can ever find anything on Netflix!
As I waited to cross over the road back to Heatherdene a mountain biker put in an additional burst of speed to get past me and his chain promptly snapped and well, let's just say I winced on his behalf.

A still lake as we head towards autumn always gives nice reflections. Light did not get better than this but at least it added a little colour. F7.1 to try and maximise sharpness.
Thorpeness Meare...The Meare is a boating lake like no other. The lake with its islands and surrounds covers some sixty acres and has over forty acres of water.With Peter Pan islands, boats in every shade of the rainbow, and plenty of secrets to uncover, Thorpeness Meare is the centrepiece of this fantastic village on the Suffolk coast.
The midges has resided, a little, by the time this was taken so Tony and I had a bit of peace and some time to properly take in the view.
In hindsight maybe I should have focus stacked and got The Old Man a bit sharper but, to be honest, I was enjoying just being blown away by the place so didn't really care and guess what? I still don't!
The boat wasn't always there... it was blown from the beach in the big storm of January 2015, right over the fence to land in the position it is now in the grounds of Gress Lodge, on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides. It's not been moved

Colwyn Bay can now boast two Blue Flag beaches – Porth Eirias beach and Rhos/Colwyn Bay beach.
In 2013, Colwyn Bay saw the start of a multi-million pound Waterfront Project, giving the seafront of this historic seaside town a new lease of life.
State-of-the-art technology was used to dredge a sandbar 20 miles out to sea and pump tons of soft golden sand back to widen and plump up the shore.
Visitors to Colwyn Bay can now enjoy the wide sandy Porth Eirias beach and admire the seaside views from the improved promenade and its attractive seating and landscaped areas.
Porth Eirias is the iconic development right at the heart of the promenade. It's home to celebrity chef Bryn Williams’ award-winning bistro that wows with idyllic views over the sea.

Toward the end of our shoot, as the 'good' light lessened, this little scene caught my eye. Much spray dodging and lens wiping later I got the shot.
Having often seen this scene on social media I decided to see it for myself last week. Seen from the wonderful grounds of Knaresborough Castle I was no to be disappointed. It was bustling with activity both on and at the side of the River Nidd.
Knaresborough Viaduct is a viaduct in the North Yorkshire town of Knaresborough, England. The viaduct carries the Harrogate line over the River Nidd in the town. The viaduct was supposed to have opened in 1848, but the first construction collapsed into the river very near to completion, which necessitated a new viaduct and delayed the opening of the line through Knaresborough by three years.
The viaduct can be seen striking across the Nidd Gorge from the ruins of Knaresborough Castle and is a well-known viewpoint in the town. One writer has stated that it is one of the region's better known landmarks.[7]
