Oh So Quiet...

A new photograph for the new year. Taken over Christmas at Emsworth Harbour in Hampshire at a fairly unfashionable hour of the morning. I sat on the boardwalk for a bit mesmerised with the birds sweeping over the small boats; then I managed to catch them in silhouette. A quiet and peaceful time.

Clover Over Dover

In a strange way I've never posted any pictures from the mainland UK, I realised that I don't actually have too many photos of the homeland. So I thought I'd post one of the more famous pictures. This picture is from the Dover-Calais ferry, I was on my way to Belgium at the time. It struck me as we sailed past just how beautiful they were - also on this occasion so close to the Remembrance Services the view they gave to troops crossing the channel and for the aircrew crossing them. Every time I take that ferry I always take time to stop, think and give thanks.
