25 August 2014 13:02271068Lovely pictures Howard.
Wet and chilly, in other words a typical Bank Holiday Monday.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 25 August 2014 13:45271070We had plenty of notice of the Bank holiday washout but not enough for events that have to be arranged a long time in advance.
The miner's festival, the event at Samphire Hoe and the White Cliffs walk spring immediately to mind. - 25 August 2014 13:54271071
- 25 August 2014 14:47271073Lovely photos Howard, showing Dover at it best and the weather too, Sadly today is another season.
Roger - 25 August 2014 17:43271086I can't think of any seafront better than ours on a summer's day Roger. My photos did not include the glorious displays outside Harbour House past the Marina hotel and along there.
Looking out to sea we have the super ferries, cruise liners, containerships and a vast mixture of small craft, in fact the Sea News page runs entirely on the action seen there. - 25 August 2014 18:37271091Indeed Howard - it's one of our best-kept secrets (kept from the outside world, that is).
Roger - 25 August 2014 20:09271100So sad to see all the events going on today a wash out .
That is the thing in the UK is the weather any time of the year it can turn within a hour.
You can never tell not like Spain out there each day is going to be the same as the day before so it is easy to put on a outdoor event knowing %98 the weather is going to be good. - 25 August 2014 21:41271104queuing for some sunrays
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. Maya Angelou ☺🌈🌄🌌🌏🌍🌎 - 31 August 2014 14:35271466The planters along the cycleway have been neglected in recent years but some nice colour in there now.
- 1 September 2014 09:49271508Folkestone looking colourful on the last day of August.
- 1 September 2014 11:55271516Were you over there digging for gold?
- 1 September 2014 12:22271519It certainly feels it's approaching that time of year again.
- 1 September 2014 12:29271520Should have done as it was low tide.
Excellent one of the marsh John.
- 1 September 2014 13:24271522We are now all booked up for our trip to ROBIN HOOD BAY just hope the weather will be kind to us.We have family coming down to stay at our place so it all worked out well.
But still afew weeks yet before we go.
If it was not for my bad legs I would be camping out over at Folkestone looking for that gold. - 5 September 2014 17:05271733Some smashin' pictures above there. always a joy to see.
I got a couple of seasonal ones this week, long range of the sun going down over Dover Grammar. I can just about see Dover Grammar over the rooftops from where I am. Both pictures look a bit gothic and probably more autumnal than summerish, and they even look a tad spooky somehow...brrrr !
This first one was taken through a non-too-clean window but somehow it adds to the effect. I didn't have time to open up the door as the light was changing rapidly. it was more dramatic in reality with cracking red rims to the clouds but I didn't seem to capture that but its okay all the same..
A couple of days later and something of the same thing only ermmm...different..
with sun behind trees and birds on the wing.
