Some beautiful scenes

[Dovetail]

I just wanted to share some beauty with you on this winter day. I hope you enjoy the photos and can relax with them.
These are from Pensacola Florida USA, and Pensacola Beach Florida USA.

The church is in a place call Sevier Square near downtown Pensacola. The while rounded house is on the beach and when all houses around it were destroyed in a hurricane, it survived. It is made out of concrete. The train car in in the median of a street down town Pensacola. The pier is Pensacola Beach pier.
The water is all the Gulf of Mexico.

I hope you enjoy seeing these.

Please share some photos that you have taken that are nice.

Thanks for your post.
Personally, I greatly enjoy pictures of other members environs when they are occasionally posted. I'll add a few, hopefully it will encourage a few additional posts.
Will limit this selection to sailing in NZ waters, making myself sad that I dont own the boat anymore.

Anchorage in the Bay of Islands.

Robertson Island, the child bride taking in the view.

Momona Bay, Mercury Islands. So named by Captain Cook as his chosen site to observe the transit of Mercury.

Making landfall after a long passage.

Retrieving the dinghy and complaining about my knot tying ability. Kawau Island, home of George Gray, NZ's first governor, 1840's.


Right members, your turn.

How about this for a campsite. We stayed at Belcastel in the south of France summer 2014. We are the white car just left of centre. We can find locations like this for less than £20 a night.

That's what we love about the European landscape, the feeling of permanence. You can see millennia of habitation and cultivation. Remove the people and nothing would change. Remove the people from NZ and the land would revert to bush in a few decades.

One of my other hobbies is/was landscape photography, I still have the gear but it hasn't seen much use of late.

Here's a few of my own favourites, I have others on Flickr Andy Aveyard

@eribaMotters I love that for a camp site. Such a feel of history and beauty combined.

@Andy's Shed I love the photos you did. The rainbow one is really good (I like rainbows a lot). You should get your gear out and go on a camera expedition. To my eyes you have talent.


Anyone else have any other place in the world to share? I would love to see more of the old history of Europe.

After selling the yacht in my previous post, we used the money and bought an ancient canal boat in Holland and spent a few European summers on the canals in Holland, Belgium and France.

Somewhere in France. Boat looks nice so long as you don't get too close..

Village in Friesland, north Holland.

Tunnel in France, built in the time of Napoleon. 4km long.

Dinant in Belgium. The WW11 Battle of the Bulge ended at the citadel atop the rock.

City square, Nancy, northern France.

Dunno. Can't remember.

Not exactly European history but had to include it. Exactly the same place on the river Maas - the child bride now and on her father's boat 55 years ago.

Up on the hill looking down through the Glen where I live. My home and workshop are tucked in the small group of trees just left of centre.

And the best view indoors.

There's a road leading up to the masts on the hill, one of my favourite places to cycle and is in the 'Cycling climbs of North West England' book.

This is a pretty well hidden location near the town centre of Horwich. Doesn't really compare to the other locations posted here

You must have the longest driveway in Scotland..

A couple of beach photos from Caister on sea in the summer. Looks like something from Baywatch

A couple from the Louvre. The ceiling is the room holding the French Crown Jewels. Truly stunning architecture.
