Steve S 60 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Gave this place a miss when looking for somewhere to eat.... The waitresses were dressed as nurses, and there was an intravenous drip beside each table. There was an industrial set of weighing scales outside.

Expand I'm amazed there's not a long queue of skinny masochistic old guys wearing very thin material shorts outside, as it's got to be cheaper than a hiring a hooker in Vegas, and you get the group humiliation thing thrown in. I see there's a Vegan option, but I think it was cigarettes!!
Tattoodave Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Happy on Sierra de Las Nieves yesterday, before he found the mountain streams and mud.

I recognised the church used in the closing scene of Cool Hand Luke, but it's been used in countless other films and TV series. Had a look around the sound stage they use for Big Bang Theory, which is set to become their longest running sitcom. They had a whole building full of Batman vehicles from all the films.

Suzannek Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Just a few photos taken recently. Wild Cowslips growing where I live. Some photos from a walk up Weardale with a friend also. Came across hundreds of spawning toads. The pond was teaming with them and we had to watch where we walked

Johnny Jones Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 A nice walk around Poolsbrook Country Park near Chesterfield today, very fortunate to spot the Deer in the wood to the side of us, even more fortunate to get a decent photo, it just stared straight at me for a couple of minutes then went on its way, great day.

Winsford Soul Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Whilst I was at Pennington flash today i achieved a lifetime ambition and was so lucky to see a male and female great crested grebes doing their courtship dance. I will post some pictures later when i have gotten over the excitement. Steve

Ever the perfectionist Steve Expand It's not exactly as if the grebes are hanging around waiting for you to get your camera set up and ready before they begin their dance. Sometimes you've just got to be thankful you were there with a camera at all. Well, you know what I'm saying.

I think we can all get a bit anal about cutting bits out, if it was a litter bin in the background I could understand but the post is just part of the natural background to me. Guess we all have our own ideas & that's the way it should be Great photo's by the way
Winsford Soul Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 This Otter had just caught a fish ( Perch ) and was about 60/70 metres out on the lake and even with the 500mm lens and the pictures heavily cropped this was all I could manage Steve
Tattoodave Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 A day out yesterday thanks to a cancellation, and as I don't do walk-ins I took off to the hills in search of orchids and other flora, this is the Yellow Bee Orchid, Ophrys lutea, but a very pale form, probably a hybrid with Ophrys fusca. This is how they usually look...
