From a trip to Iceland in November 2007
Taken in a local area of what I term Pretty Land which has been a happy hunting ground for me over recent years with the camera – lots of paths, gated roads and easy access, with plenty to look at if you can be bothered to take the time – The nearest village is Mowsley. / Most folk miss this area by driving straight through the main road from Market Harborough to Lutterworth, yet either side of them are some of the most wonderful vistas in Leicestershire to photograph in the main light of day as opposed to early or late starts – but you do need a good old out of date OS map to find some of the paths and roads (and more ground clearance than I have under my car for some of them!)
A second landscape from the Mowsley/Laughton area of Leicestershire, UK. This image was featured as image of the day at Fotopic.net on 16th May 2008 / Not long ago, I posted this, below, from a location nearby. I love this land at this time of year. / If you like it and want to buy the pair, click this link to get the second. They look good as a pair on a wall, especially when toplit by a small bulb
I like the soft leaves of this silver birch. Their blue and grey color / is gorgeous. I like to take a walk in this french Park near Nice / in the Alpes-maritimes. I’m fascinated by the imposing birch-trees.
Foston Lodge from Kilby Bridge in Leicestershire, under threatening stormy skies which dropped their load moments later. The farmland here lies next to the Grand Union canal, and is a catchment for the River Sence, which frequently floods, adding to the loads of the rivers Soar and Trent. This is my local area – a hunting ground of mixed fortunes photographically.
Albi is a magnificent city in the southern France. / Here you can behold the splendid entryway of the fantastic fortress cathedral called Sainte Cécile. This gothic cathedral was built in the 13 th century in the heart of cathar country. / It is the largest brick building in the world. / The basilica of Sainte Cécile dominates Albi’s skyline . / It is a masterpiece of meridional Gothic architecture and it is one of the most visited edifice in France. / There is a contrast between the simplicity of the exterior and the sumptuous decorations and details inside.

A close up portrait of a robber crab….....also known as a coconut crab as they crack and eat coconuts! These are my favourite creatures on the planet! I’m fascinated by all the separate plates which join together to make up a whole crab! They are basically evolved hermit crabs in that they do not carry shells to protect their abdomen. They are very imposing, massive creatures with a scientific name of Birgus Latro and they can be blue or red in colour! Their leg span can reach around 70cm! The biggest i’ve seen had a body size 1 foot square and i was even lucky enough to see 20 in one small area feasting on a fallen coconut tree! Despite their size and somewhat menacing appearance, they are gentle and placid creatures who back away when threatened. Found on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. Taken on Canon 5D at f5.6, 1/40th sec, ISO 800, 400mm of 100-400mm lens. As is.
When the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta constructed Valletta (the capital of Malta) in the 16th century, they built these edifices in order to house those knights with no homes of their own in Malta, and to put up visiting dignitaries in the style to which they were accustomed. Almost every langue of the order had its own auberge, and the knights of each one were entrusted with the defence of a particular section of the bastions which surround the city. This auberge housed the knights of Castille, Leon and Portugal, was finished in 1574 and remodelled in the 18th century. It next served as the headquarters first of the French military, then of the British army in Malta, and today is the office of the Prime Minister. Fujifilm F50fd.
