Cold Caller

I must admit, it has been a while since I had a bible basher knock on my front door but my black cat would actually hiss at them.

 

British Weather

 

As our weather is set to be changeable over the next few days. Seems Summer is already done with us, although that was a bit stunted this year.

I like cats, weather and lamps.

 

Cloud Spotting

 

How some of us seem to like seeing shapes in clouds.

New Heights

I've actually had a drone (DJi 2 mini) for two years but only got around to giving it it's first test flight today. This is the Folkestone Warren on what was the first clear and wind-free day in what seemed like months.

Kate Bush Day

This event took place at Folkestone harbour where hundreds of women all in red danced to "Wuthering Heights" this afternoon.

Nope, I haven't got a clue either.

Big Skies

Rode to them thar hills overlooking Folkestone on my electric bike and armed with just an iSamsony smartbone.

End Is Nigh

This photo was taken by me a LONG time ago. I only posted it in there to get a link to put in a web site, but nonetheless a bit of nostalgia wouldn't hurt.

This Summer About To Get The Right Idea?

The mainstream reports of warmer sunny weather being on the way are actually true.

Summer Blues

As more rain is being forecast.

Folkestone Charivari

A carnival type procession involving paper figures and tribal drums took place here at the harbour area today, I took this from my next door's front garden using the big camera's zoom lens as I didn't fancy being up close in the crowd. 

Brolly Good Fellow?

 

As this summer is struggling to get going.

Dusk Colours

 Finally got to see a decent sunset during a spell of improved weather. 

The Poor Summer Continues . . .

 

Rain Maker

 
As this Summer so far is turning out rather poor, but is a reminder of our typical British climate. 

A Fair Game?

£13 to view a single Euro '24 match at Folkestone harbour. That's not including £7 a pint, god knows how much more for food and there are the parking charges. I'm sure there are cheaper ways to watch England lose.

Chickened Out

The stone is located at Dover Road here at Folkestone, so apologies to any living descendants of the Lumb family.

First Bike Ride Of The Summer

Life size Tonka toys and a Summer sky taken at Sandgate (near Folkestone). 

Urbex Photography

I noticed a door to a nearby long since abandoned office building was open and since I had my iSamsony smartbone on me, the urge to do some exploration was too strong - but so was the smell in there so I didn't hang around for long. That said, it has been a while since I did a urbex photography session.

Full Steam Ahead Take 2

This time I was more prepared with a fully charged up Nikon D7000 and a break in the weather. In this case it was a Britannia Class "Clan Line" locomotive that made an appearance here at Folkestone today.
