Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 35

This was the last photo of the Week in August, and I chose this one because of the way the clouds looked. The way nature shows itself can be both menacing and beautiful at the same time.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 34

I went to a pier that I can see from my balcony with my kids for a day out. It's not an easy walk for me, but it is one I am willing to do on occasion as the views can be spectacular. Last week there was a "tall ship" in called the Götheborg and it allowed visitors on board, so naturally I went with my camera. The photos with that will follow in the next couple of days. This photo was taken before that though, and is of the lighthouse from the breakwater across from the Prince of Wales Pier.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 33

Near where I live, a new cinema is being built to try and breathe some life back into the town. We are the first place you see when you enter the country from France by boat and if all you see is eyesores and broken buildings, you are not going to want to stay there. 

Whilst removing some of the land, an are was uncovered that one of the local Archaeological Societies managed to get their grubby mitts on. There was a house from the thirteenth century and this well from the seventeenth century. The well is 6-10 metres deep. They wouldn't allow me to get closer due to health and safety.

Very late with posting these. I have been writing and that has been taking a great deal of my time again. It's one of the reasons I took a hiatus from blogging at the beginning of the year. I am trying to keep up though. 

This photo was a thistle that I saw in passing. You don't see them often in the town.

Photo of the Week 2015 - Week 31

Now that I have caught up with the Photo of the Week, I can start to put them on weekly again. This little butterfly stayed here long enough for me to take a fair few shots of it. I was hoping to get in closer, but it flew off when I neared it.
