A few weeks ago, Hugh over at Hugh’s Views and News posted an image he had taken on the beach which featured a strange glowing orb. We ended up having a conversation in the comment section, as I had also blogged about a photograph in which I’d captured some unexplained phenomenon. I mentioned I hadContinue reading “A Question Of Orbs”

Thursday Doors – Commit No Nuisance
My door this week comes from St Albans. It’s the entrance to the medieval clock tower, the only remaining example of its kind in England. Built in the early 1400’s, the tower is four storeys tall and built of local flint and stone. At this time of year, fairy lights twinkle in the former groundContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Commit No Nuisance”
Wednesday Wander – Andorra La Vella
This Wednesday Wander takes us to Andorra La Vella, the capital of the tiny mountainous principality of Andorra. While known now mainly for skiing and tax-free shopping, Andorra has a long history, positioned as it is between Spain and France. The site of Andorra La Vella has been settled since pre-Christian times, and in theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Andorra La Vella”
Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona
A quick Thursday Doors post today – this week my door comes from Barcelona, and Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Mila apartment building. The rope and signs get in the way a little bit, but I think you can see what an impressive feature this door is. And it’s only a side door! Casa Mila is builtContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona”
Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle
It’s time for my Wednesday Wander and this week it’s to Pike Place Market in Seattle. I took this photo in the early evening, just after we arrived. The rain had cleared and our hotel was only a few blocks from the market, so we wandered down in search of dinner. As it was late,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle”
Thursday Doors and Funny Faces
Back when I was at university, I had to take a short photography course as part of my degree. I wasn’t very good at it, to be honest. I had my grandfather’s old Pentax complete with an awesome selection of lenses (which I still have), but it was quite a large and unwieldy camera toContinue reading “Thursday Doors and Funny Faces”
Wednesday Wander – Roses in Morocco
Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing ‘Wordless Wednesday’, where I posted a photo each Wednesday with no accompanying copy. However, ‘wordless’ just isn’t me, so I decided to come up with my own way to describe my images. I’ve settled on ‘Wander Wednesday,’ as most of the photos I take are while I’mContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Roses in Morocco”
Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things
I’ve just come back from holidays. Oh, very nice, you might say – and you’d be right 🙂 At the same time, it was a busy couple of weeks. No sitting around on beaches – instead we had a planes-trains-and-automobiles type trip starting in Vancouver, Canada and ending in Cambria, California, taking in the sightsContinue reading “Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things”
