Welcome to the August photo thread. The July thread will be left open for a while to allow for World time zones. It will close it once it is August 1st for everyone. Post in either thread (but not both) until then.

If anyone needs information on how to post photos, it can be found in the 'Photo posting guide' located at the top of the forum.

This is a close up of the Central Tower of Lincoln Cathedral, During the summer months if you are fit enough you can climb the many steps to the top of it. When on the outside if it is a clear day you can normaly see the Boston stump.

Another iron bridge over the Severn - an ancient toll bridge and only accessible to cars and pedestrians...

I haven't been taking many photos lately but here is my last Farnborough Airshow photo (taken last week). A classic Red Arrows formation:

Looks like a bit of mentoring is going on...

Today I went to the International Motor Show at the Excel Centre in London. There were some fascinating cars, from past, present, and possible future.
Also the usual pretty models being photographed with the cars, though I doubt if this actually attracts many buyers
I thought this image of the photograher, model, and car was quite interesting.
The car, by the way, is a Renault Megane Coupe

One of my favorite subjects here . The other night while traveling through Texas, I was able to get this sunset taken just west of Odessa.

Great sunset Clarasue type of photo i like too, as i posted last month.

Love the one of the Tower, Prof, and the surrounding buildings.
Neat, Sherry, and Lily, that sounds like a perfect day to me!
That is a great capture, tw.
bhs, Did the mentor just tell his young cohort a hilarious joke because that is what came to mind, they are laughing!
Interesting shot, picqero, and I have 3 of those cars myself - in my dreams anyway.
ClaraSue, that sunset is breathtaking!

I spent a day in Cambridge, where I was at college. I must say I could hardly recognise the view from Magdalen Bridge, Lots of modern buildings. But the punts are the same.

Nice sunset ClaraSue.





Ducks not quite all in a row.

Funny how one car follows another as we don't get many. This is a Toyota Sera, made in around 1990 for Japan with a glass roof and doors, and this and the other few here have all been shipped over for thousands of pounds per car.

This is Lincoln Stonebow, when i first moved to Lincoln buses and cars used to drive through it. Upstairs is the Guildhall where they hold the full council meetings.

Thanks, everybody! One of the good things about my job is seeing sunrises/sunsets from all over the country.

That is true, isn't it, ClaraSue? I had never thought about it, but you get to start your days with the world waking up wherever you happen to be.

Hibiscus

Beautiful hibiscus bhs; they're normally only grown as indoor pot plants here in the UK.
I've been painting all day today, so here's another image from my visit to the Motor show yesterday.
One of Team Renault's Formula 1 cars, though obviously not one of those being used by Alonso or Piquet this week-end in Hungary.

While visiting Riding Mountain National Park we drove out to the east entrance which still had the original gate. 75 years old and it still looks like new. The only thing done to it was new shingle roofs.

I've been on a wonderful holiday in the South of England, with one rainy day in five And as you can imagine, I was pretty pleased to see this plaque in the very hotel we were staying in!

Oh Jane, how exciting! I am glad you had a lovely time. Welcome back!
Our beautiful Cathedral in Gloucester is originally from the early 11th C. The west window is lovely and has some of the early images (14th C) of people playing Golf , and a ball game believed to be Soccer.

Looks like you have been to Torquay, Jane.

Here is a peacock standing guard at David Austin Roses last week... was very noisy!

In keeping with the last photo I posted here, today I give you ... the harvest! Our vegetable plot is beginning to give back for all that hard work throughout the year. Harvesting is way nicer than digging, planting and weeding

Green and butter beans on the menu tonight, yum, yum!

Wow, lots of lovely haricots there - mine are just about grown to an eatable size - got some of the purple speckled Italian ones as well - taste great. What a feast you will have.. bon appetit!
