What a great varity! The Outback, India, Wales, Egypt and London! Great - all of them!

Typical British countryside in Surrey

One of my favourite things at the Zoo yesterday was being able to walk through the kangaroos compound, with no fence between them and me. The only stipulation was visitors must "stay on the path".

Looking down from the bridge over Lake Vyrnwy, the man made lake in Wales that provides water for Liverpool.

Very odd, I hadn't seen the previous photo (this has happened a few times before) and what have I got today? The Brent Reservoir, five minutes from my house, another man made lake. What are the chances of that happening?

That's really cool, Satguru!

Sunset on Thassos, Greece.

Oh Yes please!
Welcome SMW!

Thanks Dot, that's one reason why I live here.

Here's one of a pair of houses probably designed by Ernest Trobridge between the wars. He's done many near me and include castles and thatched cottages, all built around the same time.

The long walk at low tide to the warm waters of the Aegean sea was all the excercise I needed...lol

Thanks for the welcome back ren.

The centre of my universe, Finchley Road in Temple Fortune. I worked two blocks down on the left for five years.

Some of Melbourne's skyline, viewed across the Yarra River as it enters Port Phillip.

This is one of the waterholes around the base of Ayer's Rock (Uluru). As you can see, The Rock is not always the bright red colour that you typically see in pictures. The rock is actually grey-black and the red colouration is a thin crust of iron oxidation. The rock can also acquire a silver colour due to deposition of minerals when it rains.

More million pound houses (a few million actually) in Hampstead Garden Suburb.

Another find from the attic. I remember my dad getting very excited about
seeing this on QVC & buying it. A favoUrite car of his, the Mercedes Benz
300SL. This model has great detail, even the steering wheel works!

I have been away for a week so take my son to a Scouts camp which was great fun. This was one of the inhabitants at the camp .. first time I've seen a koala in the wild.

This is the Wills Memorial Building in Bristol, part of the University of Bristol.
They've just finished restoring the building which is generally considered to be
the last great gothic building to be built in the UK.

A lazy late September afternoon on the Kennet & Avon canal in Berkshire.

Same building as in my previoUs photo, this one taken with a 2 second
exposure to capture the lights of the (invisible) passing traffic.



(Not too much camera shake which isn't bad without a tripod.)

Oy vay, it's October already! We're late!

well, you are. The October thread's been up since the first.

I did look, honestly! I found this straight away as Martin had added to it but still didn't see October, but I've been like that all my life...

Oops. Sorry, I forgot to wind up my calendar & it stopped. :]
