The marina looks a bit dry. :) The British Isles are still on my "to-do" list and so I am enjoying your images of the area. You make a wonderful tour guide, Alan.

Lovely I guess being scolded by that particular fishwife would not be so bad for some as they would not understand a word she said.. Always a pleasure to view my homeland!

Great work! Everything is right here: The lights, colors, the foreground, background...everything. Could be seen in a calendar. It creates fine memories from my holidays in 2009 and 2010 in your country. 5+++++ !

Lovely image with wonderful POV, depth, color, and light! I love the boat in the foreground, and the curve of the walls and shore. I like the way the ropes tethering the boats make lines across the ground. Beautiful capture!
