Pigeons have no respect.  Not even for Otto von Bismarck. (I admit I looked the word up in the dictionary, it’s not part of my active vocab.)

I travelled by train last week. The photos from the station work best in black and white, I think. But once outside trains add colour.

42 weather (640x480)

January was far too mild but the last couple of weeks we had a little snow and since then we had a few wonderful crispy, cold, sunny days – although the snow is all but gone.

For A Photo A Week with the theme weather.  More climate related shots can be found here.

Behind the Boks

I was lucky to attend the game between the Scottish and  South African rugby teams in Newcastle in, part of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.  What better setting to take pictures of a very colourful crowd?  The Springbok supporters were out in full force.  Hats and make-up are a wonderful way to camouflage faces, aren’t they?

For The Daily Post Photo Challenge: a face in the crowd.
