The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

PhotoHunt - Public


Public is the word today and what better than Public Transport.

This rather old tram is wending it's way around the streets of Sofia in Bulgaria - a very cheap form of transport for the Public but a bit if a rickety ride ..

PhotoHunt - Flags


I've had to delve into my photo collection and go back to 2004 to find these flags.

Seen flying ( if flying is the best word - they seem rather limp ) in the old capital of Montenegro - Cetinje.



The Bulgarian flag above - here at their consulate together with the Bulgarian coat of arms.



And here we have the national flag of Montenegro which was not adopted by the country until July 13th 2004.

PhotoHunt - Bridges


The PhotHunt theme this week is BRIDGES.

You'll find plenty at the old Manchester Docks which is now part of the Lowry Centre - a redeveloped area with shops, museums and apartment blocks.





Some years ago you would have found ocean going vessels berthed here ..

PhotoHunt - Wide

Today PhotoHunt is wide - so that means wide open spaces ...

If you're looking for something wide and open then you can not get anything wider than the Niagara Falls ( well  actually you can in South America  ! but we'll forget them )


If you go to Canada or the USA  it is a place you must try to visit and a helicopter ride around the Falls is a great experience but not for the faint hearted !

PhotoHunt - Family


Christmas is a FAMILY time.

Family presents are laid around the Christmas tree and everyone has a wonderful time  !!

A wonderful time in theory - by the end of the day everyone is a little tired and thinking was all the expense worth it. 

Roll on summer holidays ..

PhotoHunt - Lazy


This is a lazy sunny Sunday afternoon in St. James Park, London

The spring in the South of England this year was very wet and cold and this was the first weekend of the summer with decent weather. Thousands of people came out to the parks and gardens to enjoy the weather and just to laze around in the sun.




This oasis of calm is only a few feet away from Buckingham Palace and all the heavy traffic of the capital. Just the place for a lazy afternoon.

Penguins - move your cursor and take them for a walk !!

Say it as it is ......


Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Look around !!!

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
