The castle on top
You have to pass a lot of trees but the castle and the view is worth it.

The lure of darkness
I’ve used this image before but it seemed so perfect to illustrate “illusion” that I thought I add something extra and reversed it.
It was part of a night light show in a park and it was a one-dimensional exhibit. But wouldn’t you just love to step right in and walk around that corner?

A mural decorating the local rabbit breeders club. I wonder if they know that Bugs Bunny is no rabbit?

Is it five years already?!!
Five years ago I was on my first visit to the UK. My camera was brand new, I had no tripod and very little experience with taking photos. But I wasn’t going to be deterred. I ventured out in the middle of the night from our B&B to take pictures of the blood moon (breaking my glasses in the process).
The next day we visited Stratford-upon-Avon and I stood in front of the house of one of my heroes and found out that taking photos with lots of others milling about wasn’t that easy.
We went on to Birmingham where I looked at the canals.
But our main purpose in being there was the Rugby World Cup and of course, seeing the Springboks – playing Samoa (well, not really but we took the tickets we could get). It was my first life rugby game and it was grand! Later we saw the Bokke play Scotland in Newcastle and that was even better. I didn’t know whether I would be allowed to bring my camera so I only have a few shots from the actual game, taken with my cell phone.
Birmingham had some great sights on offere like the most amazing library building and of course, I met the Floozy in her jacuzzi:

It’s an uphill battle
One of our running groups trails last year. If you are wondering why there are different people going up to people coming up it’s because I was somewhere in the middle. I could take shots of the front runners from below and of the stragglers from above. And the victorious four where in the middle.
