The beauty of nature again.
Just something else 🙂
Like the sun is trying to fit through a gap in the trees.
Despite everything, it’s been such gorgeous weather so wanted to share some of my favourite sunsets from my time doing the blog. You’ll find another example of my sunset montages here.
I saw Cathy at 746 books had posted on Book Spine Poetry, where she arranges the spine of a set of books and turns it into a poem. I liked the idea but thought I’d arrange mine into a story concept. Here someone super rich has an dramatic epiphany after a rather lonely life and feels the need to take a silver sword so as to meet the mystical Kafka.
Photography and travel are two big passisons of mine, so when I saw the BBC had highlighted entrants from The International Landcape Photographer of the year I just had to share my favourites with you. You can find the rest of the winners on the official competition website here, which were whittled down from 3,403 entries.

Last year Canary Wharf put on one heck of a light show. But as you’ll see from the photos below, it more than surpassed itself this year. Please feel free to say which one most got your attention.
I was at Winter Wonderland before it closed and wanted to share some of the delightful animals they had at the ice statues section.
