Lake Marion Sunrise

Early morning when you see the dawn is a beautiful time of day, no more so than when you are greeted with a scene such as this at Lake Marion, South Carolina.

Boatyard Blues

Here in an inlet (or 'slew') on Lake Marion, South Carolina, a motor boat is left to its own devices.

   When cars expire and are left to rot in the yard, they are called 'yard cars'. I wonder what they call these that are left to rot in the boat house. 'House boats' perhaps?

One of half a dozen images from Lake Marion, South Carolina, that I prepared for an exhibition. It was hard to take a duff shot at his beautiful location.

On Reflection

This is the refelection of a curious 'sculpture' that consists of a load of orangey-red poles stuck in a shallow ornamental pond.
In themselves they look pretty awful, having no recognisable shape or design; but when the wind disturbs the surface of the pond and the weather is bright enough, their reflections look quite appealing in isolation.

An unusual view of Salisbury Cathedral, UK, taken in the autumn of 2006.
This is arguably the most beautiful cathedral in the country and until recently had the tallest spire in Europe at 404 ft. It is also home of one of four remaining copies of the Magna Carta, the others being one at Lincoln Cathedral and two at the British Library.
