"Miners Beach" |

Captured after waiting
patiently for a break in between showers on this rugged mid-north coast
beach in Port Macquarie in NSW. Miners Beach is just one of a handful
of beaches that circles the town. Well worth a visit.

"Last Light" |
||||||
Image of the Month for
October is by Lynda Sutton who photographed this landscape of the River
Dee with her mobile phone. She was standing next to her husband, Ron
who shot the same scene with his DSLR, but the result was no better!
An incredible sunset to get red and silver/white in the same sky (plus the convenient swan!). This image has not been enhanced/Photoshopped in any way. |

"Beside the Seaside" |

Broadstairs
was the fishing hamlet associated with the inland village of St Peter's
established around the parish church which was built circa 1080 A.D.
St Peter's was the original settlement and had a proud history long before Broadstairs grew up next door and became the larger town. St Peter’s came within the jurisdiction of the Cinque Ports under a 15th century charter and contributed handsomely for the privilege. Anciently, Broadstairs was called Bradstow. This was derived from the “broad stairs” carved in the chalk cliff, that led from the sands to the 12th century shrine of St Mary situated above the cliffs. The town spreads from Poorhole Lane in the west (named from the mass graves dating from the Black Death), to Kingsgate in the north (named after the landing of King Charles II in 1683), and to Dumpton in the south (named after the yeoman Dudeman who farmed there in the 13th century). The York Gate in Harbour Street remains from this period: given by the Culmer family in the 16th century, originally it was complete with a portcullis against invading armies or pirates. |

"Flightpath" |
||||||
The
mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck
and an orange bill with a black base and a black knob. It flies with
its neck extended and regular, slow wingbeats.
The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England. |

"Brief Visit" |
||||||
The deepest snow we
have had in 10 years fell in parts of Southern England one day in
January. The birds,
including this robin, were queueing up for the feeders. By the next day
the snow had melted away.

"Tracks to Nowhere" |
||||||
This
photo was taken 10 years ago, the last time we saw proper snow scenes
in the south of England. We experienced more snow that year than we had
for a generation. In Hampshire, a depth of 18 inches was recorded and
many villages were cut off for several days. Those in the north of the
country wondered what the fuss was all about!
