Amelia's photos

The building seen to the left was the Old Canal Tavern, and the small building to the right was a stable clock.

Taking a walk from Ølberg to Vigdel, I was stopped in my tracks. There are always cattle grazing here in the summertime, but I have never seen them with a bull before. I sat down and waited until he stopped staring at me, then very slowly got up, and turned away, hoping that all would be well. Maybe his mind was on other things.

Season's greetings , love and peace and best wishes for a Happy and healthy New Year 2015 to all the Ipernity friends and acquaintances.

The difference in high and low tide in southwest Norway is very small, and if the sea has been quiet there are often fine lines composed of small shells and other bits and pieces left along the strand-line which show up very clearly on the sand. This is just such a one. It is possible to find some real treasures here.

October bonfires can create some nice effects. Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple

The first day of advent, a cold still day, waiting for the sun to rise on the Fjord

Grasmere is one of the smaller lakes of the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. It gives its name to the village of Grasmere, famously associated with the poet William Wordsworth, which lies immediately to the north of the lake. We were here for a long weekend for our Grandson's wedding and had marvellous weather for the time of year.

The village of Happisburgh in Norfolk is being consumed by coastal erosion. The coastline on which the village sits is being eroded by the sea at a rate of 12 metres per year. I have been visiting this area for the past 3 years, and have seen this rapid deterioration with my own eyes. Buildings have toppled down the cliffs, and caravan sites have had to be moved. A new car park has had to be constructed - the last one is no longer there. The sea is relentless, and the cliffs are very fragile. On the day this photo was taken, the sea was quiet, but storms last winter caused much devastation.
