I almost wore a cardigan (1).
We had to wait a while for the shops to re-open after lunch (St Davids is like that), so we drove to the nearby beach of Whitesands for a look at the sea. The sky was stunning.
(1) No I didn't.

Whitesands
After a couple of weeks of lousy weather, I have taken a few days off and on Friday we were blessed with a superb October day. Cool-to-cold-ish, but sunny and dry. Anna hadn't been out for a while, so we got in the car and tootled off to St Davids for a spot of pre-Christmas-visit shopping and a nice lunch out.

Glad the weather was nice. I like the fall weather, but we have been a bit colder than normal.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely getting winterish here (what Yorkshire people call 'back-endish') but there's nothing like a clear, cold day in the Autumn/Fall. Wrap up warm, and enjoy it!
DeleteLovely picture - I'll pass it on to mother. She likes that sort of thing for her desktop backgrounds.
ReplyDelete[embarrassed] You might wish to open it in Photoshop and adjust the horizon line by a degree or two, as I think it's a bit wonky. I can send you the original (1.8MB) if you like.
DeleteNow fixed.
DeleteThere is a solitary red figure on the beach!
ReplyDeleteA professional photographer would call that a focal point to the composition that makes it 'pop' and elevates it from a simple snapshot to a work of art. I call it a happy accident.
DeleteThose clouds are stunning. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteBloody BRILLIANT Photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your kind comments. I'm a snapper, not a photographer, but sometimes things just work out.
ReplyDeleteI have recently started taking photos again after a gap of some 25 to 30 years. I found my eye sight was totaly useless for "normal" cameras (Olympus OM system and Pentax). Now, with these digital Auto focus things, it is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you think of yourself as a "snapper". But when you start finding that more and more of your "snaps" are actualy looking damn good, then you have "crossed the line."
Keep at it. Your "snap" here proves you have "the eye" for it.
FT, thank you. It pleased me, and it pleases you guys as well, so that's a win.
ReplyDeleteHej Min ven.
ReplyDeleteDejlig billede, håber alt er vel. Giv din søde Anna et kæmpe knus, fra den store viking. Tænker tit på tiden hos jer, det var en skøn uge, med en meget stor gæstfrihed. Håber at se jer igen.
De Kærligste Hilsner Peer.
Hej Peer
ReplyDeleteGodt at høre fra dig. Jeg har givet Anna et knus, og hun sender et stort knus tilbage. Nu giv Ruth et knus fra mig. Håber alt er godt med jer begge. Vi skal mødes igen. Vi skal komme til Danmark, fordi jeg har brug for mere Gajol. Giv vores kærlighed til Poul og Alice.
Meget bedste ønsker til jer alle
Richard
DAMN! I thought the spammers had all of a sudden learned Danish.... until I REALLY read it! :-))
ReplyDeleteHej då!
This post has attracted a huge amount of spam which, to be fair, Blogger has filtered out. I seem to spend five minutes a day deleting comments which appear in my inbox but not on the blog. I very nearly deleted this one, but then saw the name Anna and decided to read it first. It is from Peer, one of the mad Vikings I went to visit in Denmark back in 2009' and who spent a week camping at Nowhere Towers in the following year. A great guy, and I'm so glad I didn't delete him!
ReplyDeleteTja. Julia M as well. I would love to talk to them over an oxecetelyne cuter.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how quich you can fry a spammers.....nose....:-))
Sad to see that you too have chemtrails. They give us the same type of clouds ( the larger white wispy cloud) in East Scotland.
ReplyDeleteIs that a bad thing? I thought they looked rather nice. Is this to do with aircraft? The area is only a few miles from Strumble Head, which is the last air traffic nav beacon on UK soil for the flights from Heathrow to the US, so we get a lot of high-altitude airliners over here. Too high to hear, but they make pretty patterns in the sky sometimes. I still miss the soft boom of Concorde at about 4pm every day ...
ReplyDeletehi Richard. The chemtrails which are supposed to block the sun and prevent global warming contain aluminium and barium sulphate nano particles to reflect the light back into space. We breathe these in when they fall to earth. They also destroy the natural ph of the soil and contaminate the rivers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good video which gives a better explanation. It's worth watching 'What in the world are they spraying' as well if you haven't already done so.
