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.

These were the waves at Sandy Beach Park in Oahu, Hawaii (aka break-neck beach). Apparently there are more injuries here each year than any other beach in Hawaii. The waves were really rather high even just a few feet out at the shore break. Needless to say I remained on the safety of the beach. ;)

Aloha Hawaii by Mark J P

We have just returned from Hawaii on honeymoon but this is an iPhone shot as we were coming in to land in Oahu. An absolutely beautiful part of the world and although I may be back home in Blighty my heart remains in Hawaii (along with my sleeping pattern.. jet lag is a real pain!).

Sun drenched days and starlit nights by Mark J P

This evening at 8:30pm as the sun was setting over a rather foggy Bournemouth Beach it was still 24°C and people were still on the sand and enjoying the water. I absolutely love the summer.  Shot in Bournemouth, Dorset, UK.

This is the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, Dorset, UK.  It was due to open a few weeks ago but due to some unexpected complications it has been delayed indefinitely.

It is lit up at night time and looks pretty interesting from across the water.

(FYI I discovered this evening that all of the lights on the bridge automatically switch off at 12am, having arrived only five minutes before).

Stillness by Mark J P

A shot taken while it was freezing cold and attempting to snow in at Baiter Park in Poole, Dorset.  It was very cold (some parts of the sea were frozen) and the sea was very still.
