Cycling by the sea

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

My wife and I took a trip to the seaside today. Walking was done, fish and chips and ice creams were eaten, and photos were taken.

By the time I get through my significant backlog of developing, scanning, and uploading, it will probably be 2027 by the time those see the light of day on the blog though!

So here’s another seaside picture from almost five years ago, back in 2021, which I recently re-edited and uploaded.

Hotels by the sea

There’s a definite similarity to these two pictures, I think, in the placement of the hotels, and also the sea and horizon. Perhaps I should look out for similar scenes in future and collect them together.

Morning on the Yorkshire coast

Looking south-east from the cliffs atop Scarborough’s south bay. You can just make out the staircase I posted a couple of shot of recently at lower left. Further down the coast is the arc of the former South Bay Bathing Pool and from there the cliffs continue towards Bempton and Flamborough Head.

Punta Carena lighthouse

fishyfisharcade2 Comments

I’ve recently re-scanned some older negatives from when my wife and I visited Sorrento in Italy in 2018. While I was happy with my scans at the time, I can produce much better results now and I also realised that a lot of the pictures I’d taken were never uploaded, including the one posted here today.

This isn’t Sorrento, but the south-western point of the island of Capri, named Punta Carena, upon which stands this lighthouse. The photo was taken from the boat we were on which circled around the island before heading to port.

There’s a nice sense of scale to the picture, I think, with the foreground coast, the lighthouse, and then the dramatic cliffs beyond.

Big propeller

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

I think this ship’s propeller was placed here for decorative purposes, rather than some sort of commemoration, but it made for a striking sight.

The three people give a nice sense of scale. They also kept wandering into my shots of other things, such as the fort I posted pictures of yesterday, which was a bit frustrating as they would stand there for several minutes admiring whatever my subject was while I waited to take my picture. Obviously, they had every right to do so, but it felt like some sort of minor karmic retribution for something I must have done wrong at some time.
