Technically they are the right way up. Your country is the wrong way up!

I could wake up and look at that every day. Great picture.

Thank you kindly. I wish it was our place. I could enjoy staying here more often.

We are staying in Glororum in Bamburgh. That shot was taken straight out the kitchen window last night (its an upside down house- bedrooms downstairs lounge/diner up).

I would definitely recommend staying here. The beach is behind the castle, 2 minutes in the car and the carpark is right off the sand.

Took my first crack at astrophotography while helping a friend pick grapes at his vineyard early Saturday morning. Only had about 15 mins during a break but it was enough time to get everything out of the car and take a few frames. Pretty pleased with the result considering it was my first attempt!

An Australasian Swamp-hen. They have huge feet which help them to stride across lily-pads and the like.

Thanks. We are blessed with plenty of bees around, but sadly not many butterflies.

Well spotted. It was indeed a 2CV tour. But they weren't racing, more cafe hopping. We spotted them later on having tea in a cafe.

Do 2CVs ever race? Lol

We saw a procession of racing green Mazda MX5s yesterday. 6 of them and the last one had a BBQ strapped to the back...

Funny. I saw loads this morning whilst I was jet washing the drive. If I'd had the camera out probably not seen any!

Thanks! The break was so short that I didn't have much time to compose the shot once I got the camera and tripod set up. But I am very pleased with how it turned out, especially given the amount of light pollution!
