Photography, music, food and travel, and pretty much anything else that takes my mind off the state of the world right now. All photos are my own. Thanks in advance for any reposts, I do appreciate it.

Dusk on the Bay of Kotor, #Montenegro #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #seascape

Another boat picture but what caught my eye was the patterns of the wind on the water. It looks #blackandwhite but it's a colour photo of a very grey day in a #fjord in #Norway #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #seascape

Always look up! A splash of colour as leaves above a tropical beach begin to turn to Autumn shades. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel

The traditional #Stave church in #Bergen #Norway. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #archtecture

On an appropriate day when the eyes of the world are on the Eternal City, one last image. 2000 years old, the #Pantheon can still claim the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. #Rome #Italy #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #architecture

A sunny evening on the #Solent and the yachts are out racing. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #seascape #eastCoastKin #travel

Still majestic even on a dull day. Elterwater in the #LakeDistrict #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #landscape

All roads lead here. And by the weekend, much of the world’s press will be here too. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #cityscape #Rome #Italy

Basilica Covadonga near the #PicosDeEuropa in #Asturias #Spain. Votive candles in a tunnel hewn through the rock to a viewpoint. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel

I’ve only just discovered the #bloomscrolling hashtag which made me laugh. It’s better than the alternative. So now I feel compelled to post something so that I can join the bloomscrolling club. #Keukenhof #Leiden #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #flowers #tulips

#Havana as the early evening sun reflects on the wet streets after a sudden shower. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #cityscape #Cuba

The Church of the Good Shepherd sits on a corner of land where the river flows into Lake #Tekapo surrounded by mountains on #NewZealand South Island. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #landscape

#Keukenhof Probably the most spectacular Spring garden in the world with extensive grounds, lakes and formal gardens. It's a bit overwhelming so sometimes it's better to focus on the details. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel #Netherlands #Holland #flowers #tulips

The Millennium Bridge in #Newcastle, illuminated at night and always a reflection in the river. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel

#Ålesund #Norway and at last the sun shows after a rainy day. #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin #travel

Nowhere else do you find such vibrant, colourful churches as you do in #Poland. This one is in #Krakow and is spectacular! #photography #photoHour #stormHour #eastCoastKin

#SienReap #Cambodia and the huge surrounding area of forest filled with ancient temples and monuments. #photography #photoHour #stormHour

Just sitting on a rock, in the sun and watching the tide go out. Very relaxing. #photography #seascape #sea #cullercoats #stormhour #photohour

The city square in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, and yes, that is a lighthouse. They’re not only to keep ships off the rocks. If you were travelling on the Silk Road and it’s getting dark then a light in the distance would have been a very welcome sight. #photography #lighthouse #stormHour #thePhotoHour

Dusk in #Bologna The daylight fades as the street lights reflect the rain-soaked streets. #photography #stormHour #thePhotoHour #landscape #italy

#Helios is a 7 metre artwork which combines solar imagery, light and sound to highlight the sun’s intricate details. It’s currently on display in the main hall at #SeatonDelavalHall and it only just fits! #photography #thePhotoHour #stormHour #NorthTyneside

Look what the sea left behind. #photography #stormHour #thePhotoHour #tynemouth #seascape

Before the dawn. #tynemouth #thePhotoHour #stormHour #photography

It’s that time of the morning when a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. For me, cold water swimming is strictly a spectator sport! #Tynemouth #photography #thePhotoHour #stormHour

Wipeout! Surfers riding the waves off Longsands in Tynemouth. Sometimes the waves bite back. #photography #tynemouth #thePhotoHour #StormHour #surfing

Before dawn, on my way to take photographs of the sunrise, I turned the corner and the picture presented itself! #photography #thePhotoHour #StormHour

It’s #InternationalWomensDay and a several dozen hardy women take to the North Sea as the sun comes up oven King Edward’s Bay in #Tynemouth #photography #thePhotoHour #StormHour

A lawn full of #Crocus. Sadly not my lawn but worth the journey to see it. #photography #thePhotoHour #StormHour

The #Dorset Riviera! Looking west from #Hamworthy to #CorfeCastle catching the late afternoon light. #photography #thePhotoHour #stormhour

Excellent camouflage from this snake in Costa Rica. I can’t remember what species it was. I was too busy keeping out of the way. #photography #thePhotoHour #CostaRica

#Dunstanburgh Castle on the coast of #Northumberland was built in the early 14th century but largely abandoned within a couple of hundred years. But it was sunny today! #photography #thePhotoHour

Night view over a canal in #Groningen in the #Netherlands with the moon rising in the distance. #photography #thePhotoHour

Signs of Spring at National Trust Wallington. Lots of plants starting to break cover from their Winter dormancy. #photography #thePhotoHour #StormHour @nationaltrust.bsky.social

#Nacreous clouds are formed of ice crystals very high up in the atmosphere. As the sun refracts through these crystals, it produces an almost iridescent effect. #photography #thephotohour #stormhour

Taken some years ago in Shinjuku railway station in #Tokyo #Japan I wonder if it is still there. #PhotoHour #StormHour #eyes #photography

Trying to stay off sunsets and clouds for a while. This was taken in a museum in Pisa. They clearly had a lot to contemplate. #photography #thephotohour #Pisa #Italy

I sat on one of the benches which line the promenade in #Llandudno in North Wales. I pre-focused the camera and placed it beside me on the bench. And waited… #photography #thephotohour #seaside

A misty morning in the #YorkshireDales above #Kettlewell looking down #Wharfedale #photography #thephotohour #stormhour

So looking through some old photos and here’s one of the strangest cloud formations I think I have ever seen. No it’s not painted or AI it just looked weird! Puerto Natales, Chile - they get some spectacular weather there. #photography #thephotohour #stormhour #lenticular #clouds #puertonatales

Dear #stormhour here’s my entry for #potw on the subject of #green #photography #thephotohour

Storm clouds look so much better in black and white. #photography #stormhour #thephotohour #blackandwhite

Just one of a lot of painted doors in a street full of restaurants and bars and tourists, including me! Do you know where it is? #photography #thephotohour #mermaid

Just another skyscraper somewhere in the world. #photography #thephotohour #archtecture
