I was going to post this on the Gloomy thread but thought I'd start a new photograph thread so we can see how the year develops in pictures.

This was taken yesterday from Hungerford Bridge - it's not a great photo but shows St Paul's shining in the drizzly cold gloomy early evening.

A goldfinch feeding on my spent cornflowers.

Sunshine through the foxtail lilies in the garden.

The Jealous Wall in the grounds of Belvedere House in Ireland, taken on a beautiful day during my holiday nearly 2 weeks ago.

I love your photo Ali08!
I'm drawn to the words/image contradictory and complimentary messages - the men (to all intents and purpose) "lounging about" waiting whilst working... but also not currently working - nevertheless togged up for combat/action... and then the sign "Danger men at work "!

Are they the "danger men" at work?
Could it be that there is a warning to the public about them being at work...
So many thoughts on this one.
The men are undoubtedly at work.

This is my favourite of all the photos here. grin

Thank you for sharing it.
What is the usual danger at that door that we must be aware of (as we may be in danger)?

A lovely ginger cat belonging to my nephew.

Knaresborough on a recent sunny day.

Toby, cooling off in the shady hall.

Scribbles, I love Knaresborough, especially the area around the viaduct. Did you visit Mother Shipton?

Nandalot Wed 14-Jun-23 15:49:55

What a lovely thread! So pleased I came across it today.

Scribbles Wed 14-Jun-23 17:33:44

Not this time, Hellogirl. It was a flying visit because I'd never been there before and wanted to see it. The weather was outrageously hot and all we really wanted to do was slump by the river with a cold drink - but we've made up our minds to return in the autumn when it's cooler and visit Mother Shipton's cave and the castle and explore the town properly.

This morning I visited the newly refurbished National Portrait Gallery. I was interested in seeing Tracey Emin's bronze doors - they are quite magnificent and my photos don't do them justice. I really should have arrived before the doors opened in order to see them fully closed! smile

I walked there via The Mall which was a mistake as it was heaving with visitors waiting to see changing of the guards. I returned via Victoria Street and passed the neo-Byzantine Westminster Cathedral.

Geraniums on my front door step!

Now don’t go too near the water - it’s dangerous!

Twilight, out of the window.

NotSpaghetti Sun 25-Jun-23 09:14:20

Wyllow3 that would make a rather nice Christmas card!

I love this statue, in the carpark of a hotel we stayed in last week.
