Multiple faves! Plate margin landscapes are hard to beat.

Don't envy you the discomforts encountered but this is Spectacular!

Nice story to go with a very nice shot

Tired thinking of the drive

nice job, find myself leaning in to see more

A photo of a friend to cherish. 1.5 hours is always going to be costly. As I've got (err....had) very curly, thick hair, haircuts and finding good hair-dressers has always been a challenge. One haircut I'll never forget was in Singapore, where two female hairdressers attempted to cut my hair, one from each side (in public, in a pukka hair salon I hasten to add).

Like some mystical moon-sun musician playing a giant harp. Love it. (Eclipse photos all look the same to me, yours is unique and creative).

That's a hell of a trip. 620 miles from here in any direction and we'd be well in the drink (the water). This is a great view, mind.

Yes, a lovely portrait. And that soup in bread, looks fab. Plus a helping to help towards five-a-day veggies (this portion equivalent to 0.05% of the five a day). As salad only eater at work, this kind of meal really appeals to me.

A graphic consolation prize photographically; a pity you didn't catch the eclipse vibe though.
