My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[clid61]

On route to last nights cheeky tidal island bivi

Where did you sleep last night? I was here

And this morning leaving the island

Where was that only down the road in Wigan?

The first image is superb. Engineering architecture at its brilliant best.

Amazing the picture quality you can get with an IPhone !

What a difference a day makes..... Im waving at Blackburn for you Stephen.

Oh! Its flashing the V's back. They must have read your book. :0)

Saturday afternoon - Stephen Primrose-Smiths birthplace. I have come in search of of the blue circular plaque on the wall of the house where he was born. But I think I have to will settle for fish and chips.



Friday afternoon - Nyhavn, Copenhagen. Picture postcard, totally gorgeous.




You may remember last weeks photo. Piedmont, Italy. I think the only way is up from Blackburn.

When critics say that this book will take you to places you have never been. I didnt think it meant like a Euro Rail Pass.

Love the bars. Saw the same bars on a HD bobber today, I'm sure.

Mr Pedantic said "Bobbers have short handlebars"

Cheers. They're surprisingly not that uncommon - just easy to miss. Keep looking up!

Easier to see with sunglasses on, and if you are really lucky, you may see a Circumvential Arc (upside down rainbow) above the sun

Started with mixed weather but sun we've been promised finally appeared.
Grafting in the garden again today repotting, scrubbing the decking and general tidying up.
Having a rest now and a cuppa

That's the old road meandering in the mid-distance (Old Long Hill Lane)
The newer Turn-Pike road, around the hillside was created circa 1790, to make for easier (ie; faster) journeys

Here's a few, from the old road taken a few years ago (mid 2006)

I thought today was going to be a wash-out but the sun did come out a few times!
