    A couple of days on the Gower peninsula last week.

    Evening high tide at Three Cliffs Bay

    Rhossili bay. We had planned to walk across the tidal causway to Worms Head, but the wind was making conditions unpleasant so we gave up on that and just strolled around the clifftops.

    A distant view of Worms Head with waves crashing right up the cliffs confirmed we had made the right decision!

    The meandering river in the fist shot is fascinating, but my pick is the panoramic shot with those breakers coming in.

    Totally in agreement.

    Both great shots, but my vote goes to that night shot.

    I concur, almost medieval feel.

    3 Swans and photographer

    Some people shoot sunrise, I'm too lazy for this (sun rised 4:40 AM today...) so I shoot sunset, but even for this I'm too late, this photo is made 5 minutes after sunset:

    It's a stunner but I think I would have cloned out the headless swan.

    That orange colour is prize winner.

    Gentians are always winners. Remember the old days when film couldn't quite capture that amazing colour? I think it was something to do with reflectinf UV...???

    I have not had an opportunity to do much photography this week, as it has rained all week, disastrously so in Romagna.

    I found another Terracotta group of life-size figures, this time near to home in Reggio. They are in a little church in the centre of town that only opens for Mass. So I crept in at the end of the service and had about five minutes to do some pictures. The group is made up from the remains of several groups, in fact John appears twice. The figures date from the fifteenth century and are probably by at least three of artists, including Mazzoni, one of the most famous terracotta artists. They were crudely repainted in the nineteenth century. The Christ figure comes from Tuscany and was added in the nineteen fifties.

    The facial expressions on these are just wonderful, especially the guy with the pliers - presumably for removing the nails through Christ's hands and feet?

    I love this. Beautiful colour palette and contrasting horizontals and verticals.

    Petra

    I guess it's somewhere every traveller has to go. I haven't made it yet, but |I'll make sure to check out Little Petra. You have made a good job of capturing the scene, crowds, camels and all.

    20230419_0368o_petra_Petra__Petra.jpg

    Little Petra

    Afterwards, we went to Little Petra, which had relatively few people. It was more crowded that some of the sites I visited in Turkey, but nothing compared to the zoo that was Petra. I enjoyed Little Petra as much as big Petra.

    Mom didn't do these stairs at Little Petra, but I did.

    Petra

    Petra is a poster child for over-tourism, but I am still glad I went. By this part of the trip, I had hooked up with my 87 year old mom, and I was a lot more concerned about making sure she stayed safe than taking photos. Mom was an absolute trooper throughout the trip.

    The Treasury. Even with the crowds, it was pretty amazing.

    All great to see Marie. Someplace I am unlikely to get to so a real treat!

    The first is lovely and I really like the minimalism of the last.

    Why I Go Fishing no27.jpg

    Arrived at the lake very early, just at first light and was rewarded with this spectacular daybreak. Apart from a bit of tidying this is pretty much sooc. Ignore the exif, my GM5 doesn't retain the time every time I change the battery.

    A lovely shot and a great thing to see early in the day.
