It’s plain sailing
Sailing in the late afternoon on the waters of the mouth of the river Wear.
The water glistening, the coast hazy in the background.
And now for something completely (?) different:
Sailing on the river Neckar where it is a mere 120 metres wide, with river cruise ships making the waterway even narrower, this guy showed some real acrobatics.

Where there is work, there is a break
What would working together be without the occasional break? And if you can have it in the sun, all the better!

Half full/half empty – no matter
The National Glass Centre in Sunderland. The “Home of Pyrex”.
I’ve used photos from the exhibition and from the demonstration at the National Glass Centre quite a few times for photo challenges – I thought I add a bit of information this time. The glass blowing demonstration is a truly wonderful and informative presentation. Unfortunately, just a few weeks ago I heard that one of the presenters, the talented man on the right, has passed away. So I want to add this photo as a tribute to his talent and skill.

Framed!
“Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.”
Garry Winogrand
Step through the frame and find out (Leazes Park in Newcastle).
And he stepped through the frame.
In Ladenburg they have these signs all over town to show how the landscape was changed to make paths and parks more inviting. On the left are photos of what it looked before and it can be compared with the reality today. It was found that just putting up the photos wouldn’t be enough, so a frame was offered, similar to the frame of the old photograph to make the views comparable. Because a frame changes things.
A frame also helps to focus the attention. Or possibly, it allows people to cope with nature if they are used to seeing things only framed ?

And the clouds ripped apart
The weather could have been better but a visit to Holy Island was still one of the highlights of our trip to the UK.

You never know
