English Landscapes - None of the pictures have been "doctored" as I dont have any software.

Manipulation would help the night shots. Next spring I will be there for three weeks and am specically going to photoshoot.

Time exposures are difficult as Tower Bridge shakes violently with the traffic


Durdle Dor in Dorsetshire. My favorite scuba diving venue.


Eileen Doonan Castle


Gold Hill, Shaftsbury. 15 mins later the place was full of tourists


Bodiam Castle used in most movies depicting the middle ages including "Robin Hood" and the Monty Python Holy Grail stuff


"Tilde" wants to lock me up in the dungeons in Leeds Castle in Kent

*SWOOOOOOOON!*

That's it!

I'm officially and completely out of adjectives that fit... I need a thesaurus. :)

Ian, I could close my eyes and with one finger just touch ANY of these and want to BE there.

(very funny there... me... locking YOU up in the dungeon! Sure you didn't get that backwards!? *BEAMS*)

On second thought, if it meant I'd get to see it in person... where are the shackles!? LOL

Wow.. wow... WOW.

True Story


Years ago a very rich American Tourist saw that London Bridge was for sale. He came up with the cash and paid to have it taken down and re-erected in Nevada.

After the rebuild was completed he went to visit it for the first time.

He was shocked because London Bridge was a Roman built stone bridge over the River Thames.
The idiot thought he had built the bridge in the photos above and is called Tower Bridge.
Did anyone offer to sell you Brooklyn Bridge.

Buyer Beware

These are great. You truely have the gift of capturing the image properly (we call that old school photography), as opposed to snapping a pic then trying to manipulate it in a photo program.

My only suggestion for using a photo program is for sharpening. I have read many times that all digital images are inherently "soft" and need a wee bit of sharpening, especially if you want to print them.

Great pics and enjoy the next trip.

Hello Ian,
Worth a glance at Wikipedia to get your facts straight on London Bridge. Chap who brought it knew exactly what he was doing. Now Arizona's second biggest attraction. Some beautiful pictures you took in England. Worthy of postcards. You can tell London bridge is no longer in London as the sun is shining!

Fourth Plinth. Trafalgar Square.


Inside Tower Bridge. Don't forget to look up round you


London Bridge. lake Havasu.
