Mid-Summer Fireworks

A fireworks display occurred at the harbour this evening, but this time I was ready for it.

PS: I felt the last shot has some interest as I spotted a kid playing with a sparkler shortly before the fireworks were due to start.

Harbour Arm

Folkestone's Harbour Arm was reopened to the public for the first time in three years after repairs and restoration has been carried out on it, complete with shops and cafes set up on it. It is still incomplete but it hadn't deterred people turning up in their hundreds.

Tea Light

A friend made this tea light trinket for me.

Folkestone Charivari

The annual Charivari took place at Folkestone today, and thankfully the weather played ball with sunny and warm conditions.

Moody Sky

It has been a morning of convective stratocumulus infill here at Folkestone.

Dolphins In The Sky

Sound like a typical Tangerine Dream track. I was just gazing at the dusk sky here at Folkestone when I noticed this cloud ripple take on the shape of some kind of porpoise mammal type creatures. The formation stayed for long enough to fire up the camera and take a photo of it.

Reduced To Rubble

All looking quite spacious now that Dave's Gym, Luxor Nightclub (formerly The Sundowners Disco) and the Bingo Hall have all been reduced to rubble and become memories that will slowly fade into the mist of time.

Worm/Rabbit Hole

My sister's pet rabbit running through a plastic tube, it looked like a temporal wormhole when viewed through one end.

Burning Music

My first attempt using actual real flames nearly caused me, the house and more importantly the camera to catch alight even though I did it in the back yard. But, one not to give up that easily, I decided to try again but this time used a light string in the safety of my hobby room.

Bunnies.

Bunny-related photos with Bo & Locks at my sister's back yard earlier on today.
Mind you, trying to take half decent photos using a compact digital camera on what was the dullest day of the year wasn't easy.

Cat Camera.

Cute Bunny

My sister's latest acquisition to her family.

Passing Storm

This was taken the other day, it's only just now I've put it up in here but it highlights the changeable nature of our British Climate.
  Although this does look like a bad ass storm, it didn't produce much as it passed over my home, just a few minutes of moderate rain/hail.

Windswept

Decided to have a go at daytime long exposure using a dark filter today and took myself to the East Cliff area again.

Another Fine Spring Day

Captured this as part of my mid-week constitutional through the town. I like the Bayle area on a day like today.

Night Rider

Decided to go on a bike ride/photography session this evening. This was at the East Cliff and Warren.

Tree Line

Sometimes this Spring does have the right idea. After the past couple of days of wet and changeable conditions, it has been a bit more seasonal today.

Evening Sky

Had some nice sunset colour just as a shower cloud was passing over us at dusk time this evening. However, the problem is that the sun sets towards the north west at this time of the year and thus gets hidden by trees, buildings and trees.
