Photos in the UK per AZJim's request

Great pics....One thing that I noticed is the lack of trees in most of your photos...

I guess I'm partial to beaches and architecture and mountains. The Isle of Barra has few if any trees, like the rest of the Outer Hebrides. But we have a forest behind our house. I'll put up a few tree photos.

Photos from my neighbourhood (aside from the boat on the loch ones I've posted before):



Our mansion.....haha, just kidding. It's down the road from us.



Our downtown. Actually our village is in a long row of 3 villages. This is the village hall, next to it is a cafe, then a charity shop. That's it.



Not far down the road from us. Great area for bike rides.

More trees for Ken.

Just love all these photos. Oh, how I long to visit them, not for just a week but for a month! Who will have me? I cook, clean and take out the trash.

Gorgeous scenery, and an artist's paradise...... Sorry, got to say it again, tho...... people? I mean, if that is the main street downtown, I'd miss human beings or is everyone in the cafe? Where do the locals hang out and shop?

 

[AZ Jim]

Great photos again.

These are so pretty, I especially like the garden with the rock steps and the red tree is this your garden, Annie?

Calling it downtown is a joke. We shop etc in town which is ten miles away. I prefer landscape, seascape, architecture photos. One can't take photos of strangers, they object.

Yes that's our garden. I love it. Hubby has green thumbs.

Great photos again.

Thanks Jim!

He most certainly does....to get that look takes years and years of work. It is absolutely lovely.

Your right, shooting people's pictures wouldn't be appreciated. The whole area looks like a very peaceful and quiet place to live. I think those are really wonderful photos, and would look beautiful framed and on a wall.

Thanks. He loves gardening. The garden was a mess when he bought the house 20 years ago, so he did it all, 1/2 acre of gorgeousness.

It's a wonderful place to live! Very quiet, yet only 1 1/2 hours from Glasgow for the airport, museums, shopping, culture.

 

[Ameriscot]

Here are some photos with people in them. I only find one of them artistic and worth framing.

About 20 miles from our house. Used a 300mm zoom lens.



Near Southbank Centre London where we went to see St Matthew's Passion



Hanging heads in Kelvingrove museum in Glasgow



One 'live' head across the way

 

[Cookie]

Ahhh...... the blue beach one is fantastic..... would look good in my place....
Interesting heads.....anyone we know? never mind.... and I see the the live one. LOL

I live on a sea loch and all manner of boat or ship passes by.

The Hebridean Princess - a luxury cruise ship for smaller parties.



The Royal Navy practicing maneuvers.



Sailing

You're welcome. We enjoy watching the ships goes past while we have breakfast in bed. You can hear a low rumble when there is a ship coming. Or a submarine.

 

[Ameriscot]

We sometimes see the Royal Navy directly out front doing maneuvers. One day it was all day long. Planes were dropping parachutists, and they were practicing rescuing them. It was great. Nice day so I was on the porch with tripod and long lens all day.

 

[Denise1952]

Wow, what I'd give to get to see those sights in person! You are truly fortunate! I loved that one of the tiny boat in comparison to the ship. Like I said, wow! Thanks for sharing these AM

Before I came here my husband told me you could see submarines out our windows and I thought he was telling fairy tales!
