1. This is a lovely composition Jude

   1. The wooden piers on California are so photogenic PP

2. What a lovely pier.

   1. I love the Californian piers!

      1. It’s that Pacific Ocean they go out across!

3. That’s a striking effect, Jude. Reminds me of ‘Solarisation’.
   Best wishes, Pete. x

   1. I think it was a silhouette effect Pete, love the way the water swirls.

   2. How would you know about Solarisation, Pete? Did you do your own D&P in the past?

      1. I did some black and white D&P at school, but only know about it from reading about Man Ray.

         1. Oh, right! I did used to do my own D&P, and dabbled with solarisation….fabulous when you see the print come to life before your eyes….

4. Silent Sunday 🙂 🙂 🙂

   1. Is he not talking to you this morning ?😊

      1. I’ve got the Moody Blues. 🙂 🙂

         1. Oh, no! Why? Bit gloomy here today – in the cloud, but quite warm so it is very muggy. You should be getting excited about the move now.

         2. Heavy rain overnight and grey this morning but we escaped to a lovely garden and the Culloden Tower in Richmond this afternoon, so I’m ok now. 🙂 🙂

         3. I thought about heading for a garden, but the weather wasn’t encouraging. Not sure I have visited Richmond.

         4. It’s a lovely place, and the falls were going full pelt. 🙂 🙂 Leaving the laptop on overnight?

         5. Mmm… not convinced it is a happy bunny. But I don’t like leaving it on in case it over heats. Better do a back up!

         6. Would Richmond be a good base for a holiday? I want to take OH to Yorkshire next year and visit the Dales, but want to be in a town for a change so we can walk to pubs and restaurants etc.

         7. 😱

5. Love this pier….I am wishing I could find a good a one to photograph….will I have to get to California?

   1. Suffolk or Norfolk? Nice piers there.

      1. Oh, OK….best make some plans!

6. I’ve seen this, but didn’t get the chance to stop and look at it properly. It’s a great photo.

   1. It’s a lovely pier!

7. This works really well, very striking!

   1. I like the piers in California and this one is particularly photogenic with its curves.

8. Sorry, didn’t see your question. Sometimes my drop down comments is on overload. 🙂 🙂 Yes, it would actually, though I wouldn’t have thought about it in a Dales context. Driving back I noticed we were only 5 miles from Reeth, which I consider Teesdale. Do you know Aysgarth, and Leyburn and Bedale? All nice places to visit. Depends how big an area you want to cover. We do have some stunning countryside! 🙂

   1. Well we don’t mind driving to places. We have done the northern Pennines and even went up to Lindisfarne for a day from there, so from Richmond I reckon we could see quite a lot. Richmond looks central for Teesdale, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, even the Lake District.

      1. Well the Lakes is stretching it but you’re not wrong. And you’d want a circular route towards home. I think you’d find plenty of accommodation options in Richmond too. And a Georgian Theatre! X

      2. The negative is that it’s hilly,though you can avoid some of them. No more so than Durham I don’t suppose. Bedale might make a good alternative 😃

      3. As an afterthought, Hawes would be lovely too, and surrounded by such beautiful scenery. I could go on and on….. 🙂 September, his birthday, or May?

         1. I initially thought Hawes, but then it might be too busy. May or June for a couple of weeks.

         2. Hard to gauge really. We were there early this year and it was quite busy. It’s such a hub xx

9. Beautiful location and photo, Jude. This seems appropriate…
   Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
   I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes
   Watchin’ the ships roll in
   Then I watch ’em roll away again
   I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
   Watchin’ the tide, roll away
   I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
   Wastin’ time

   1. It is a lovely location LD – nothing much around it except the castle on the hillside and a seal colony a few miles north. I loved almost every moment of that drive down the PCH.

10. Oooooh. Very nice. Can’t beat black and white and this is a beauty.

    1. Thank you Andrew 🙂
