Thank you and have a nice week!

Falls under Achnambbeithach, Glencoe, Scotland, Although the falls are year round, the bare ground gives a fast run off and following a storm can be quite dramatic, this is also the point Mountain Rescue teams start missions for the climb up to the lost Valley! (The water course can be clearly seen on Goggle Maps) Short video on the lost valley available here www.youtube.com/shorts/tO4ocAPsBf8 Large view recommended Uploaded for the contest without prize group

Quayside and Harbour on the Isle Whithorn, Wigtownshire, The historical significance of this locale is rooted in its ancient ecclesiastical heritage, having been a focal point of early Christianity in Scotland.

The area offers a picturesque landscape and a sense of historical continuity, making it a point of interest for those exploring the Scottish coast., HFF and a good weekend to all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large view recommended for detail and clarity

A look back to the Fallen Moon ,in Bridgwater Docks i stood behind a lady taking a shot on her phone and it felt like an opportunity for some unusual foreground interest! The Fallen Moon is a creation by artist Luke Jerram, Created from NASA data, the sculpture is a giant 10m diameter replica of the Moon, presented on water. The artwork is 350,000 times smaller than the real Moon with each centimetre of the internally lit sculpture describing 3.5 km of the Moon’s surface. The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA award winning composer Dan Jones. Large view recommended and thanks for the visit!

The lower lighthouse (on Stilts) at Burnham on Sea, in Bridgwater Bay, Low tide when this was taken however on any level of spring tide the whole area is covered by the sea, this is due to the huge tidal range in the Bristol channel (up to 15m ) Apologies for my absence this week, had major software issues which resulted me reloading the whole catalogue, not complete yet but well underway! HFF and a good week to all!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large for detail perhaps!

Totney Drove, A Rhyne and a distant "Isle of Avalon" topped by Glastonbury Tor, from my beloved Somerset Levels, A "drove" on the Somerset Levels is a historic, unpaved or single-track rural trackway originally used for moving livestock. Today, they serve as quiet, scenic country lanes flanked by traditional ditches (rhynes) and are great for peaceful walking, cycling, and wildlife viewing across the moors, Driving or cycling a drove road offers a quintessential Somerset Levels experience, but requires some specific local knowledge, No bench from me this week routine hospital visits could take some time . will catch up on my return, A good week to all,,,,,,,,,, Large view recommended,,,,,,

A midsummer image from the Somerset coast and the Bristol Channel! This is the western end of the long beach at Minehead the vast majority of which consists of Golden Sands. Groynes are rigid structures built perpendicular to the shoreline, extending from the beach into the water. They are designed to trap sediment and prevent beach erosion caused by long-shore drift, effectively building up the beach to act as a buffer against coastal flooding. The path behind the fence at the top of the image is shortly after the start of the South West Coast Path , a 630-mile adventure around the coastline of the south-west peninsula. It is a challenging route with, in total, over 115,000 feet (35,000 metres) of up and down. HFF and a cooler weekend to all.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,A large view preferred!
