[England 2013] time for photo spam!

[moonvoice]

so, i was in england from the 26th of december
until mid february. and then i was in singapore.
as you can imagine i took a lot of photos.
they're all going to be beneath cuts
to save people's eyesssssss.

(i'll be posting in stages)

these are a mix of camera photos and iphone photos.







sunrise.













the lichen and moss and liverworts fascinated me. we do get lichen, but the moss and liverwort? no. not in the same way.









sunrise.





a wild pia appears!









my brother can solve a jumbled rubik's cube in 23.5 seconds.





sunrise.













a tired snell. it was 22 hours of solid flying, and we did it with no stop-over (we had a stop-over, but it was 45 minutes of running from one gate to the other gate - only enough time to stop and pee basically). this was...the next morning.













family - mother, simon, simon jnr, me. (arna back in perth.)





































what can i say, i like beaches.

Lovely pics and Ooh! Lichen! That looks like a form of Spanish moss which we see a lot up in Orkney.

Maybe it is! I didn't have any books to identify things, so I'm way out of my comfort zone. :D

Such gorgeous pictures! I love your photography!

Oh gosh, the clouds in those last two pictures! My mind went someplace daydream-y straightaway (which, even though unintentional: thank you, I needed that).

Good to see you!

Gorgeous shots! Love the moss and lichen one, and I'm a sucker for any solitude-on-the-beach scenes. ^___^

Thanks for sharing these, they're great! I especially love the shot taken from the beach shack, looking towards the sun with the sea on the right.

Glad to know you're okay too, as I'd been wondering where you'd been. Welcome back!

Some of the photos are breathtaking. The last one with the clouds is particularly fine. I love all of the ones of the beach and ocean. Also the gate. You have a good eye for composition.

It's been a long time since I've looked at DW, so I was really happy to see your post from today; your trip looks like it was very lovely! I really wish I could do more traveling (err, well, any traveling). I hope you're doing well!

m-mm! Loving the photos where the sky reflects into watery sand!

[silverjackal]

Ah, lovely cold northern temperate beaches. :) I also really like the photo with the arch covered in ivy.
