"There Is An Eloquence In True Enthusiasm" by Mark J P

Today we went to the Great Dorset Chilli Festival which was a huge amount of fun. While we were there we were fortunate enough to hear Dave Hum playing some banjo.

Moment to shine by Mark J P

The Olympic torch came through Bournemouth today.  It was very difficult to get a decent shot as there were so many people watching but I managed to get a couple of shots to remember the occasion.

Pink sky at night by Mark J P

It actually stopped raining today and there was a pink sky as the sun was setting.  This has to be a good sign surely? Could summer finally be on the way.. I’m doubtful.

Technicolor by Mark J P

You know I am unable to resist bicycles, especially when I see one as colourful as this! This single speed bike is apparently from createbikes.com. I think it looks great… fortunately I was wearing my sunglasses! Shot in Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset.

All the fun of the fair by Mark J P

This is one of the rides from the children’s fun fair currently on Bournemouth Pier, Dorset, UK.  It seemed so strange and unusual… I just had to take a photo!
