Today in pictures

Had a couple of drives through the hills & moors this week.
Apologies to those who don`t like HDR, there are 3 in these. Haven`t done any for ages so had a bit of a play today.

I don't think you need to apologise. Those pictures are beutiful and the HDR is sensitively done.
It takes nothing away from the scenery or the subject.....and it is always good to let your creativity off the leash for a run around.
Great shots..peace and solitude.

Looks like a '67 ... great shape ... it's a 289 cu V8, that would be the smallest of the 8s in that year ... I had a '67 with a 390 in it ... amazing amount of fun in that car until I blew the motor.

It made a mighty fine noise, and if you take a peak inside it looks like the "lady" in the passenger seat is picking the drivers nose.

No, didn`t see them dive, there were quite a few flying about with gulls and there was also another kind of bird floating on the sea that dived under the water, but it was difficult getting pics with the boat up and down all the time.

There has to be a wet bit when its warm, so here it is, the River Calder.

Lovely day..and some lovely shots Dave. I feel like I went on that country walk with you(instead of being at the Docs with Ma).

Wow! Those are really impressive pics of the Queenfisher. Love number 9.
I am envious. I would have been really pleased to capture those.
Well shot!
