Doesn't get any more exotic than the Autumn sun slowly setting over the Basingstoke canal.
Taken yesterday evening from the girder bridge behind Farnborough airport.

It's an hours walk back to the car from there. Pitch black by the time I got back. I nearly fell in the canal!

Lovely pics Andy. Both are nicely framed. I might be joining a photography class in September so I might actually learn to properly use my nice digital slr. My hand always shakes but at least my pics should be slightly better than the current just point, click and hope for the best. |

 I carried a big Nikon camera with me everywhere for years, but recently realised my phone takes just as good photos, so now that's all I use. So much more convenient, though I do have to take an extra, plug-in battery pack cos taking photos uses up the battery life really quickly. My trip to New York a couple of months ago was all recorded for posterity on my phone.

My hand always shakes but at least my pics should be slightly better than the current just point, click and hope for the best. I have the hand hsking problem, but if I'm taking landscape photos I have a nice lightweight tripod I take with me. |

Spent the evening watching Kingfishers catching their supper as the sun went down -then very nearly fell in the canal several times during the hour long walk back to my car along the towpath, lit only by the Moon.

I'm fine thanks Jay -but thanks for your concern I'm a single man again -have I mentioned that? Too far apart & lots of drama with one of her grown up sons being in & out of hospital, which meant we never got to see each other. Worked O.K online, but when we managed to meet up there just wasn't enough of a spark there. So I've got the time to go walking in the evenings again, which I really enjoy, & the canal towpath's just a convenient spot, away from traffic & most people -apart from endless mountain bikers trying to mow me down -where I can walk a few miles in relative peace & quiet. I like it there Virginia Water -part of Windsor Great Park. |
