Entry to the Ancient Agora. Our morning started with a walk along Pamfylon, the street where our hotel was sited. We were curious to see whether we could reach the northern coast that way. It meandered past another hotel complex, apparently unoccupied, a few other isolated roadside buildings, and ended rather disappointingly in what seemed …

Hints of autumn among the deciduous trees, and the bracken is dying back. Our walk today took us along one of our favourite routes. A large tree had fallen across the path, possibly overnight, and formed a barrier to less able walkers, so I took photos and reported it to the Forestry Commission when we …

Kos harbour. Continuing the story of our recent stay on the Greek island of Kos. We walked to the harbour and town centre, intending to visit the castle, a historical site of interest. The harbour protects many boats, small fishing and pleasure craft as well as larger boats taking tourists to sea and other nearby …

Lakeside path. Yesterday, we visited the nearby spot known as Cannop Ponds. This is actually an area with a couple of small lakes, used for fishing and the enjoyment of walkers. The weather was about as ideal as it can be at this time of the year and I took a lot of photographs. I’m …

Bright sunshine greeted our morning, so we took a short drive to some local ponds (small lakes, really) and walked around one of them. I took a total of 225 pictures during our saunter. I’ve been a little busy since returning, so here’s the first picture I took. There will be others during the next …

Autumn colours brighten the shade. Another dull day here. But we managed a walk through a favourite part of the forest, and I captured a few scenes worthy of sharing. So here are a couple of those. The small brook was completely dry only three days ago, but the recent rain has revived it into …
