It's funny BL - heights of any kind don't bother me at all. Roofs, trees, hills. Just as well I suppose. You won't like seeing the pix from my walk up Stac Pollaidh...
Mind you, once ropes are involved, it's a different matter....
I sometimes have bother with blues too, but you can adjust it using the computer's photo editor. It can be tricky with plants, but I believe it's quite a common issue. Someone explained it once, but I can't remember
I didn't have to do anything to those photos though - that's the colour the water is there, and generally on the north west coasts. Turquoise
Those are gorgeous scroggin. Sky is fantastic. Did you see chicky's photos of her walk there recently? What great landscape contrasts we have in this little land of ours

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I was thinking about chicky a fair bit that day, as I was in The Mamores doing the two Binniens. My little legs were weary with 'upping and downing' too
She did a great job and raised a lot of money

You're absolutely right about the fantastic range of landscapes in Britain, Fairy. We're so lucky!
Lovely coastline photos, folks.
Re colours: I find yellow or white flowers almost impossible to photograph unless it's quite a dull day. I guess the amount of contrast (or perhaps reflection, from shiny petals) is too great...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Home now from taking Possum back to Namur. We did a detour via St Malo
and then stayed the night at Mont-St-Michel which is stunning.
We arrived on a cloudy evening and had time just to go and get a feel for the streets and buildings below the abbey. Next day dawned sunny and we went all the way up and toured the abbey and monastery - a stunning building, mostly in the Roman style with some late Gothic outbursts and an amazing warren of passages and halls and levels and stonework and some art.
Some of the vaulting is just beautiful Hosta but some they'd plastered over, making me suspicious they'd bodged the stonework a bit 'cos the plaster was undecorated.
Busy - temporary glitch I hope. Try again?
Scroggin your coastal scenery is grand. I always think southern England landscapes look too tame and cosy (having been brought up with wild Pennines and Lakes) but those look good.
Fairy - you make those hills look so inviting but also stark.
Liri - quite a lot of thatch left in Donegal when we were there a couple of years ago - round Rathmelton area - and some lovely old buildings but also a lot of generic new builds looking like they could be anything from anywhere.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
Oh Obelixx - those photos are stunning. I love that one above on the beach - with the figure carefully positioned. Lovely composition. Spent ages looking at the others - the architecture is beautiful. I'd agree about the vaulting too, but I also love those ornamental hinges.
The scree on all those hills (Mamores) makes them look quite stark - it's also a bu**er to walk across! There's three hills further along Glen Nevis which are called the Grey Corries - because there's so much scree. It often looks as if they're snow covered. Sgurr a Mhaim futher west, is the same. It's very distinctive... and a bit steep. Not so good on my knees coming down
The glens are very green and lush though, so you get a lot of contrast, especially in these deep clefts. Bit soggier though

Too many to post but all here - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/1709%20Mont-St-Michel?sort=2&page=1
Now to peruse all the latest photos from FG and co.
I'm a sucker for nice vaulting.
I couldn't see any of Obelixx's Photobucket pics. It said "please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting".
Some of the vaulting is just beautiful Hosta but some they'd plastered over, making me suspicious they'd bodged the stonework a bit 'cos the plaster was undecorated.
