I was lucky enough to attend the Wimbledon tennis championships last year. On looking through my photos, this one of the ballboys and ballgirls shading the players stood out to me, even though it's not the best quality photo. It caught my eye mostly for their symmetry and the striking colours of the umbrellas! The [...]
This week's theme set by the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge is Shadows. I do enjoy taking photos of shadows, they don't always work out but it's fun to try! The Friendly Friday Photo Challenge is run by The Snow Melts Somewhere and Something to Ponder About. Check out their blogs and get involved!
Last week's prompt for the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge (yes I am a little behind with this one!) is Illumination! Of course my mind immediately thought of sunshine, as it might just be one of my favourite things! I have so many photos of sunsets (a bit addicted to those) and sunny places, but the [...]
There were a few things that I decided I would like to do when I knew that we were going to return to Siem Reap. The first thing was to see Angkor Wat from the air on the Angkor Balloon. The second was a little trickier - two options, either a trip to Battambang or [...]
I loved this little guy who I saw sunning himself on a pavement in Australia when I visited a few years ago. He didn't move an inch as I got closer and closer! Just stared at me as he posed for the camera! It was very warm so I don't blame him for standing his [...]
Well, I should say a lot of sunshine! It's the Easter Bank Holiday weekend and the sun is out here in the UK...this is unheard of!! It seem so rare to actually get good weather on a holiday weekend...and for the whole weekend..that's four whole days, shock horror! And this is why us Brits are [...]
I have driven past the suburb of Blacksmiths numerous times on my visits to Swansea and Newcastle. I've seen it on the sign as we head towards the bridge which spans the entrance to Lake Macquarie, but for some reason have never taken that turning. However, on our last visit, I realised that we had [...]
Friendly Friday Photo Challenge: Photo Walk On my recent trip to Australia, we returned once again to Swansea in New South Wales. Swansea sits between the ocean and Lake Macquarie, a huge salt water lake. Whilst there I wanted to go for a walk along the shores of Lake Macquarie. I took these photos during [...]
It certainly feels like the seasons are changing! The sun is shining, the trees are starting to bud. Since returning from my holidays I have noticed that the nights are getting longer. I'm definitely not complaining about that, it's so lovely to return home from work in the light instead of what feels like the [...]
Friendly Friday Photo Challenge - STORIES Running around all four of the inner walls at Angkor Wat is a gallery of bas-reliefs which depicts different themes, myths and tales, including the myth of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, which is in the southern section. Wander around these stories in an anti-clockwise direction and [...]
