Great sky in the first one. Good to know the wildlife is finding a niche in all this new development - and that there will be some shade in future years for the car park. As temperatures hit record levels here this week I was bemoaning the lack of trees in our supermarket car park. Not only would they keep cars cooler, but also reduce the urban heat island effect.

Hello there! I was wondering only last week how you were getting along.
I like the shot of the old farm buildings. -
Who can resist a rusty hull?!
The second one put me in mind of David Hockney's Splash, the third more of clouds over a sunset at sea. -
The route to oblivion ...
Excellent. -
Well I do live in Cumbria 😁
-
I enjoyed the shots of the rail terminal taking shape. Murals are fine new but when they fade?
-
I think I like this one best out of the three. Looks like the boat should be called Just Too Late.
-
Yes, the moon was nice last week.
-
Very calm and colorful... and yes, it works!
-
That's quite the tower cane show! Right up my alley. I think the new/large mural fits-in fairly well with the surroundings.
-
That is a nice shot. Congrats on the weight loss! Yes, I think the "big picture circumstances" over the past few years were causing stress and over-indulgence, so... I have cut back on the beer a little bit lately (it was getting out of hand)... and have also lost a few pounds/kgs... which feels good. Have Fun!
-
Nice! A good eye. Next time I am at the port, I will look for something similarly creative.
-
Of course, trains are right up my alley... NICE. The B&W is perfect. No.1 and no.3 are also very cool, intriguing, and mysterious. The "light" in those is excellent.
-
A handful of shots from the past week. It is always fun to carry the camera and take a picture when the opportunity arises.

I just Googled Smith Tower - What a building! That lobby is magnificent.
The view down on the surroundings is interesting too, with the doll's house building nestled at the foot of the glass tower. -
I think this pair show a better sense of their real nature than the other rainy day low light ones I posted a while back. I was surprised that I managed to get as close as I did. Their hearing is really acute. They could hear my footsteps in the grass from quite a long way away even as careful as I was, but keeping still when they looked up and otherwise only moving slowly got me where I needed to be.
-
Great shots, convey the summer feeling very well, I can almost sense that thick summer field scent.
-
Love the evening shot. Sea shot is also nice with its colours but I think it needs something for foreground as an anchor.
I wonder if these people filming concerts view it later or is it just for one-time confirmation: "I was there", posted into social media for likes and forgotten after couple of days. I've seen some people filming almost whole concert with their phone, missing the live show experience and probably never consuming that in canned form either.
