Sunset Steeple

The steeple of St Gregory's church as the sun was going down on another day.

I hope you all had a good Christmas. Mine was great, but it is what you make it. Here in the UK its Boxing Day today, basically a bit more of Christmas Day! The sales start and today is being called Super Saturday, as its the first time in 11 years that Boxing Day has fallen on a Saturday. Retailers are hoping that sales today will be beat those of Christmas Eve, when 1 million pounds was being spent every minute! Recession? What recession?!

Sky Watch Friday

Out Of Africa.

OK. OK. Its not actually Africa but it has that feel. Its actually out of the back of my local community centre! I had to stand on the top of the railings to get high enough above the hedge to take this tree in the distance. The things we do...

Sky Watch Friday

Pink Road

Not the best photo in the world but this was the view out of my front window on Tuesday night. There had just been a heavy downpour and then the sky suddenly cleared to this beautiful shade as the sun went down, turning the grey road pink. Gorgeous.

Marley In Rhodes

Last day of photos from our Rhodes holiday, back to Cheltenham photos tomorrow.

Old blue doors and shutters.

The obligatory cocktails! No photos of the free shots, they didn't last long enough!

One of the amazing floors in Lindos. These floors are made out of pebbles and stones and are used to create the steps and streets as well as doorsteps and shop floors. It must take a great deal of skill and patience to create them.

End of the day.

Back to business tomorrow.

Pylons At Sunset

I took this photo over a year ago and thought I had already posted it, but I hadn't - until today! All I can say about the shot is that it shows electricity pylons and the sun setting behind the fluffy clouds in the distance. There you have it! Have a great weekend.

Peach Sky

We have been treated to some lovely spring weather over the last few days and last nights sunset created this wonderful pastel coloured sky. What more can I say? Mother Nature is good.

Sky Watch Friday

February sunset.

At last its the end of another week and its Sky Watch time! I know the sun sets everyday but sometimes you don't see it, not like this anyway. Sometimes its hidden by cloud or rain. Sometimes you wouldn't even know the sun was up there in the sky. Yesterday was an overcast day but, as the daylight hours came to an end, the sun made this beautiful appearance. It was worth the wait.

Rooftop car park at sunset

This is my first Sky Watch of 2009, so if you are a Sky Watch Friday visitor then Happy New Year to you! There is something special about sunsets and sunrises too (but I'm never awake to see them!), the colours are magical and often stunning.

Check out the Sky Watch Friday Blog to see the sky all over the world and to join in too.

Have a good weekend.

Pastel Sky

As I said a few weeks ago the winter months seem to have some of the best coloured skies, from bright oranges to delicate violets. This is a view across the fields towards Chosen Hill, you can just make out St Bartholomews Church on top of the hill.

Orange Sky

I think this is my best Sky Watch Friday photo so far (modesty is my middle name!) It was taken on Wednesday evening with my camera phone, from almost the same place as last weeks Sky Watch photo. I really am going to start keeping my proper camera at my side. This photo could have been so much better if I'd had it with me (will I ever learn?!)

I'm off visiting family in the North this weekend, and I haven't got myself organised with scheduled posts, so you'll just have to survive without me until next week! I hope you all have a great weekend and I look forward to catching up with your blogs next week.

Winter Sunset

This is photo is not my usual quality, it was taken on my camera phone. The sunset the other evening was to good not to photograph but my camera was at home and I wasn't! Typical me! Anyway, not a lot to say about this one apart from cold, clear days lead to lovely wintry evening skies.

Vapour trails at sunset.

A golden light was pouring through my front window the other evening, so I got up to have a look and was met by this stunning sky. I grabbed my camera, poked my arm right out of the window, pressed the button, and hoped for the best. Luckily it came out quite well. Notice that I wasn't so bothered that I went outside to take the picture! For another (better) view of this sky check out Mewli's owners blog.

The winner of yesterdays Name The Cat Competition is D.C Confidential, with the name Rupert. The reason? When I was a little boy we had a ginger tom called, yes you've guessed it, Rupert. Check out D.C's brilliant Washington DC blog here.

Sky Watch Friday

Its that time of the week again - time to look skywards. At last the grey clouds here have been breaking to allow the sun to light up the evening sky. I love the colours in this photo. I think it almost looks like a painting.

Sky Watch Friday

A gorgeous sunset sky taken on Monday night from my front window. (I did have to lean out a bit!) Although I couldn't actually see the sun going down it lit up the wispy clouds beautifully.

Sorry about the lack of comments from me over the last few days, I'll be playing catch up on Saturday - hangover permitting. I'm going to a beer festival tonight! Yay!

Marley In Kefalonia - Day Five

Last post from Kefalonia today. I was going to show several photos today but I've decided to show just one, and as this post marks the end of my holiday I thought a sunset was appropriate. This is the sunsetting behind one of the olive groves that the area is famous for. I hope you've enjoyed seeing some of the sights of Kefalonia as much as I did spending some time there. Thank you for all the nice comments that have resulted from this series, its appreciated.

Back to Cheltenham tomorrow.
