On The Beach

If you know me, you will have heard me whine before about how far the sea is, how there is even a dearth of lakes, that it all is just not like in L. Well, on the Pentecost weekend, I accidentally discovered a lake, some 50km (30 minutes) away from my place. Won't tell you exactly where but I will show you what it looks like:

The path that is leading to the secret lake:


the local flora:



and fauna (in the form of a great crested grebe):

Heaven and Earth

I have some problems with landscape photography.

This picture belongs into the third category - cheers to (occasional) speed limits ;-)

Rocky Road

These are the famous cliffs of Dover, the first thing you see when you're approaching the British side of the channel.
