    Very David Lynch.

    Yes, a lot to ponder here and an interesting blurb, even if slightly out of character.

    What an amazing set although the first blows the others away. Gorgeous photo. The last is nice too.

    That's maybe why my outbox is so cluttered, because I never remember to remove stuff I've previously posted.

    I like these behind the scenes shots from other countries.

    Interesting shot to life of locals.
    But I’m not at all surprised about this tea being drink of choice, considering the taste of turkish coffee 😀

    Sad to see those mangnificent and built with care buildings in sorry state. And have to agree about bee shelter, I don’t think here is anything similar built.

    I have to agree, first shot is best, cows being subject there make it more interesting.

    Penkiln

    The Penkiln Burn has been in spate this week, though subsiding now - at least for the time being.

    A daily walk takes us over this bridge and past the old mill. The recent stormy weather saw the water level almost up to the lower windows, with the old wheelroom a metre deep in water. Huge boulders have appeared and disappeared, along with tree trunks that have been stuck for years now gone without trace.

    The peaty water always puts me in mind of dark bottle glass or even vocanic obsidian glass.

    These two are both well done.

    I'm ashamed to say I have never visited Hartpury tithe barn, though I'm familiar with others in the area, and indeed have even sung in concerts in some of them! The bee shelter is wonderful. It takes a visitor to unearth things that the locals don't know or bother about. Thanks for this - it'll go on the list for next trip south!

    A wonderful slice 😃 The blurb does read a bit like a museum info board 😁

    The scree rivers look really interesting, as you say, streaming out of the clouds.

    Railway lines like this are so evocative.
    A square crop might work well here?

    Spring has come early and the dragonflies have appeared from nowhere.

    Very nice scene and the rail lines work well as leading lines but as in the other thread you posted your image, the near blown sky is a distracting eye magnet for me and so detracts a little from the image.

    It was shown in the other thread that the sky is largely recoverable (using ACR). To what extent the sky is recovered is obviously up to you.

    These came to life when I saw them enlarged, especially the third shot. I like the idea of the water going in different directions.
