Nice pictures. I too liked the one Lotta favored, and also the last one with the lily pads. Very Happy

I like lily ponds anyway, but you have got great depth of field and sharpness on those, SP. Very Happy

Yes, they are really nice Smile

good picture hunting! Thumbs up

Nice cycling area you live in, SP. I will try to do a little on the other side of the channel on Sylt and Wangerooge islands in late July, too Smile

Thanks!

The rose is also my fave. Mr. Green

I can't decide which is my favorite. I like a couple of them. I think maybe the one where it looks like you are laying on the floor.

Great photography, SP. I like a lot of them. Very Happy

These are awesome, SP. Did you have to tweak a lot of setting on your camera to get it to take pics like this? I don't know shit about photography.

SP and I are learning photography together in different places. Razz

Good photos Eamonn, for the photo of the pier, did you use some sort of lens with a colour filter on it or something? I assume you have a fancy camera with interchangeable lenses?

I'll be popping down to Old Town myself some time this week to take some photos there, and of the castle ruins on the top of the cliffs, I also like the black net sheds in your photos, there is just something about those buildings.

Oh, a plug for my new gallery site Very Happy

Nope, nothing fancy and no filters/shops. I used my old KonicaMinolta Z3 for that one (my DSLR for the others). It was just a case of being in the right place at the right time.

Silly Question SP. Is this your house?

I will go and slap myself now.

BTW. I like the pics. I agree with Lotta's choice.

Agapanthus ("Lily of the Nile") are from South Africa.
Great photos as usual SP but the sea wall photo is inspired.

Ooooooiiii, you calling me a pikey who sleeps on a sea front bench? Laughing

Donato asked for some photos of parts of my town, as he knows the area. I was out for a walk yesterday afternoon and took some shots, some might be slightly overexposed, and you might notice some blurring, that's due to the strong winds that were stopping me from standing still:

I am quite envious, SP. I sure hope you have a guest bedroom for when we come to visit Laughing
