Tried a new French Restaurant Chez Mamie :










Started with Oysters, as usual ... --- :

 

[woof woof]

Very nice.

We stopped in, took down the tree and decorations and had a take away.

All boxed up and back on top of the wardrobe in the spare room until next Christmas. I love Christmas so this is in B&W to match my mood

Spotted this waterfall marked on an OS map... parked nearby and could hear the roar... so was quite disappointed to discover it's about 18" tall. The name is apt though - Roaring Linn. Poor angle due to me discovering that the fence between me & subject is electrified (as I straddled it - jolt to the plums), so I retreated

Hi, went to a motorcycle-exhibition :





After half an hour, it got too crowded :





So, I went home, and had a beer, while my wife prepared lunch :

 

[hunnymonster]

This was just before I slipped on some sheep excrement, twisted my knee & wrecked the lens hood attachment point on the lens...

And another from the same walkabout. If I'd paid more attention to trigonometry lessons at school, I could probably have got the alignment perfect!



But I think we can blame Britannia for stabbing Eros in the leg just as he was taking the shot.

Hi, went to Mainz/D to have lunch, and took a few pics on my way there :

Hi, went to my local Mercedes-Benz dealership to take a few pics, outside:










And inside :

 

[woof woof]

These days I don't get a lot of time to take pictures but a walk to the shops on a cold day with a blue sky gives me an excuse and pictures to play with in downtime I can stand and look at the light on a leaf until Mrs WW tells me to get a move on so I like to take pictures of light and shapes and stick them on a slideshow later

Leaving one world, the road, and entering another quieter one which could be a world away.

Things that catch my eye.

Hi, tried out a new camera. Basima found it as dull as the weather :

[hunnymonster]

Up to the knees in really quite cold water... followed by a scramble up a 45 degree slope, slippery with wet clay soil


The sea looks so calm - taken into the face of a force 9, with driving hail into the face of the photographer
