"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.

A photograph of some more beach huts in Hamworthy Park, Poole, Dorset, UK.  Well, they are kind of tough to resist.

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!

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.

A shot taken on Knoll Beach in Swanage, Dorset, UK.  You can barely make them out but those are in fact Old Harry Rocks in the background.
