Giant bird nest.

I think I'll enter this one. I don't think you can see what it is in the other photo this giant birds nest.

[RiK]

Right, hmm, a couple for starters then.

A heavy thing.

This dude is one of the local character's in my neighborhood. We call him the Schtroumpf which is French for Smurf

Anyway he's great, usually extremely pissed but great nonetheless. He wandered into the courtyard a while back to use our outside bog, of course he was very pissed. I happened to be taking a photo of someone in the entrance. I'd set up a couple of lights bouncing off the walls. As he left I timed it right then said something to try and grab his attention - he turned and voila - got this very natural portrait of him

I remember when I used to take photos of fit birds

That's a lovely photo, xstreme. I hope you gave one to Le Schtroumpf.

That's a lovely photo, xstreme. I hope you gave one to Le Schtroumpf.

Thanks all.

Tufty - you know I haven't seen him around for a while to give him a photo. It's a little worrying as before I used to bump into him on an almost daily basis. I'm going to ask at the filling station next door to see if they've news - he often used to drop in there for a rest between the bar and his place

Yesterday up North they were still working on the sea defenses.

Tetrapods



They are manufactured in place due to being too heavy to transport



Weight: Lighter and Heavier (Too bad we no longer see the nets heavy with fish being pulled by two oxen, that would have been a cute picture)
