I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling. View all posts by Heyjude

Beautiful illuminations, Jude! Quite different to dark Cley, practically without any light pollution. We’re off the film club in Wiveton to see “Headhunters” now and I’ll have to my carry my litlle torch with me. 🙂
Have a lovely weekend!
Big hug from the four of us,
Dina

  That’s what is so nice about Cley, and indeed much of North Norfolk. Watch out for the puddles!!
  Have a good weekend guys, lets hope it doesn’t rain too much 🙂

  I have the DVD but have never seen it Dina, so let me know if it is any good X.

Great image Jude! I do love it when such care is put into the illuminations on buildings, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well 🙂

  3300 bulbs on this building – apparently. I didn’t count them 🙂

    Wowser! I’d have to constantly start counting again every time I lost track 😉

      And just think about replacing those that blow!

I love that illuminated building Jude, though like Dina, I am glad that we don’t have such illuminations here. It reminds me of Harrods at night, and takes me back to my days in London, not so long ago.
Great shot, of a tricky subject.
Regards from Norfolk, Pete. X

  Thanks Pete – it took a few goes to get a good image, tripod and remote switch used, but it was still difficult. I must confess that the reflection is faked. The building doesn’t actually reflect in the harbour 😉

  It’s quite a sight! I was determined to try and get at least one decent shot of it, even if it did mean crouching over a park bench in the dark trying to get a view 🙂
