REAR ENTRANCE....

REAR ENTRANCE.....

This was a rear entrance at Malvern Priory that I saw when I visited there earlier this year. For me this has lot's of interest...I love old doors...windows...& steps and if you also include the area that is partially hidden under the steps an air of mystery as well........

ROOF PATTERNS

ROOF PATTERNS.......

This is another image captured whilst I was in North Western France. I was staying at a campsite and in the grounds was a circular thatched open barn type of structure. I went inside and immediately noticed the underside of the roof. As it was pouring with rain at the time this roof seemed to do it's job pretty well as everything underneath was as dry as a bone. 

HARD TEXTURE

HARD TEXTURE

I noticed this when I was visiting a medieval building in North Western France earlier this year....
I was drawn to both the pattern as well as the texture of the stone.

CRANES AT THE PORT OF ST MALO

These cranes and their reflection were seen at the port of St Malo in North Western France.
St Malo has a history of being a home of the Corsairs - French Privateers and Pirates.

More recently (1998) it was the site of an Anglo-French summit which led to a significant agreement regarding European Defence Policy.

EARLY MORNING ON THE BEACH.

EARLY MORNING ON THE BEACH

During the day, Bournemouth beach can be a very busy place. Even during the Autumn months a lot of people visit the beach and with dogs and children running around and cyclists riding along the promenade it often gets too busy for me.
However if you are prepared to get up early and go for a walk along the beach you might be lucky enough to see the quiet side of the beach.
With the tide going out this fisherman is making good use of his early start by sorting out and repairing some of his fishing gear.....
