Trip to Athens

Athens

From our recent trip to Athens. Family trip to Athens, we stayed right in the centre for 2 nights so we could go and visit all the archaeological sites. We got up really early to go to the Parthenon, it's really worth it to avoid the crowds, it looked really amazing in the early morning sun. On the way out the coach tours had already starting to roll in!

The wreck of the Helvetia

, , , , , ,

Wreck of the Helvetia, Rhossili Bay, Gower peninsula. Really worth a visit, it's a bit of a steep walk but it's worth it when you get there! We went at the beginning of February so pretty much had the place to ourselves. I made this animation as we had the camera on a tripod! The light changes quite dramatically from the beginning until the end. The sky was really dark when we arrived but then after a while got a lot brighter. Should have stayed til sunset, Doh!

Snow – Red ballgown

We waited so long for the snow to come to take these photos. We had the idea for ages, had the dress, made the paper roses but the snow refused to come!

When it finally did which was last winter we got to take our photos…

Frosted mushroom

We woke up to the first hard winter frost this morning.

So happy that I went outside early this morning because if I hadn’t I would have missed this beautiful frosted mushroom!

So I grabbed my camera and some macro lenses and went to take photos of it, it was absolutely freezing and I did have to lie down to get the angle I wanted. Luckily I was by the backdoor so I stole the doormat to lie on!
