A windy day over Achnahaird Bay Assynt South West Scotland. The clouds are being blown high as the rain starts to fall, this was the prelude to a short sharp heavy storm.

A hot summers day on the river Yare near Berney Arms, while having high tea on an original Norfolk Wherry - what could be more delightful than this view from the boat as we slowly pass Berney Arms windmill?

Taken in York Castle Museum which is well worth a visit. A victorian street scene has been created in the style of those at the Beamish Museum in County Durham, but this one is all under cover and quite amazing. The Museum takes it's name from the site which was at one time York Castle and then a Jail (where Dick Turpin was imprisoned before being hanged). The lamp has been picked out using Picasa 3 freeware from Google .

A day in Newcastle and surrounding area
A rainy day over the Tyne on the
ferry via North and South Shields in July 2007.
How many old Geordies have made this crossing to work in the now long gone ship yards -what memories -what ruins -what future? The young today may not know the hardships of the past, but they are better off than their fore fathers ever were. Not many passengers on the ferry but this is mid day and the crossing is used a lot at peak hours. Three vessels are used in the operation, which is worked by NEXUS -the Tyne & Wear Public Transport Network. How long before the bridge or tunnel arrives?

Back at the Lynton and Barnstaple on 14 April 2007, two steam locomotive were at work.
The regular engine seen here is Bronllwyd approaching Woody Bay station at 13.18.
The railway has extended to Killington Lane and is now waiting funds to go beyond to Cricket Field Lane and Parracombe hopefully starting in 2009.
For further details please visit www.lynton-rail.co.uk or better still visit the railway off the A39 Barnstaple to Lynton Road.

St Helen's Church Ranworth, which many consider the cathedral of the Norfolk Broads.
It has a certain beauty and a tower which you can climb when open (most days during the summer season)
and view a 360 degree scene across the broads -well worth the visit as there is a nice church side tea room as well.
