the vale

holiday!
2 weeks in my favourite place ... with camera, too many lenses, a netbook and intermittent internet ... however will be keeping PAD up and posting to it every day ... and some here too of course ... electrons allowing
 
suspense? ... well, lets just say, if I started swimming from where I'm going, the next stop would be nova scotia ...
 
A bit of a hiatus, but the Vale is greening ... as I have new toy, here's a different view on the Vale ... for some reason, my Pinwide shots are much less sharp and more vignetted than many I have seen in the Flickr group ... so this was subject to quite a bit of PP ...

this weekend, England and Wales had a "smog warning" extraordinarily enough ... I suppose we had better get the spare planet ready for when this one's ruined ... anyway, it was certainly a hazy day in the vale today ...

Beautiful misty shot, like a watercolour. The last time I saw mist like this was in Ronda in Spain early in the morning with full sunlight. It was surreal and predictably, my photos did not do it justice. You, on the other hand, are very good at it :)
