A misty scene
it was taken by Lune Rambler in the Lune Valley on a misty day in winter.
The mist was very deep and thick that day, and reached up the valley sides to Caton Green.
This shot shows it starting to disperse as the sun's rays came over the hillside.
** My thanks to Claudio for telling me this photo was on Explore.

Berwick Law
beach North Berwick Scotland
My parents retired some years ago to North Berwick on the East coast of Scotland. This photograph was taken on an afternoon walk along the beach, the tide had just gone out and the sand was still very wet. I was amazed at the shapes that the water had left in the sand, it was like a hundred mini rivers. The hill in the background is called Berwick Law on the top of the hill is the jaw bone of a whale that was stranded on the beach many many years ago.
My mum has since passed away but i take the kids to visit grandad a couple of times a year, and come rain or shine we walk alang the beach.

More 'breathtaking' holidays!
Sporty sunset at Calangute, Goa, India.
Gusty winds offer thrilling moments to both the parasail up there as well to those on the - somewhat hard-to-control power-boat below. (little difficult to control the boat because of the additional wind thrusts and the waves at high-tide). Here it was all the more breathtaking with two parasails pushed close in the air. (one of the group was almost calling it off and taking up and repeatedly coming back to a waiting mode).
Having enjoyed their spree...both groups came back to the beach and they were seen exchanging smiles...few were stunned...and then their was laughter too!
Captured from another boat.... not far away.

Bormes les Mimosa
Bar restaurant La belle vue.
It's a nice place in Bormes les Mimosa at the Cote d'Azur. It's lovely to eat and drink something in the swadow of the plane. Our favorite period is mei and sept. wonderful colors and lovely climat.
I'am a photographer from Holland, it's not my profession, but I enjoy it very well.

A Special Bench
The sun breaks through the early morning mist on Christmas Day in Vancouver's Stanley Park. I was able to capture this quiet moment just weeks before Vancouver, British Columbia welcomes the world as host city for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

This photo was taken on Boracay, an island of the Philippines, located to the south of Manila, in the Western Visayan region. Boracay’s beaches are some of the best in the world. White soft sand giving way to warm blue tropical waters, perfect for swimming. Although the island has it’s growing pains, in 2007, Boracay Island was listed by Yahoo!

Hamish McKay Denovan.
He's a pedigree Highland Cow - and he has got an incredible haircut if you ask me.
He lives in Scotland - to be precisely he lives in Kilmahog which is here.
