Thanks, Polly. No - not a composite:

Amazing photos, as always, Paul.

Peterborough.

Fabulous, Les!

It's my turn for POTW again... Most of the images this week seem to have been Nature/Wildlife or Close up & Macro, although one in the Open/Abstract category did catch my eye. Honourable mentions to to: Paul for Friday Night's Jaunt - the 5th and final image in the sequence: an incredible close-up of that eye. KHM for Studley Royal Deer Park - again, the final image in the sequence: I love the grass on the antlers. But my choice for this week is this superb piece of astro-photography the Flame Nebula in Orion, by Les: Original post here. Gareth

Thanks, Dee.

Thanks, everyone.

Thank you, everyone.

Wow... I wasn't expecting that! Thanks very much, Polly.

Thanks, Polly. Yes - first holiday for 2 years. We were staying in a cottage rather than a hotel so we could keep to ourselves there, and when out & about we stayed outdoors as much as possible. Most of the Cornish cafes and restaurants were very good with Covid precautions though.

Thanks, Les - yes, it's part of a boat leaning against the cliff wall in Mevagissey Harbour.

We were there on Wednesday - had a very nice meal in the "Sharks Fin" on the dock. (Probably quite close to where you were standing for the first shot.) I really like the night image - the high ISO doesn't really show (at least when displayed at web-size).

Yes- three good ones, but #2 is the stand-out image.

What big eyes she has!

Congratulations, Ryland!

It's my turn to choose the POTW again! It's definitely been a week for macro / close-ups. Honourable mentions go to: Paul for E. Tenax JohnP for Geranium Flowers But my choice for POTW has to be Paul's 'Grey Dagger Moth Caterpillar': If you haven't already done so, please have a look at the full sequence of images here and marvel at how Paul has got in closer and closer and... Well done Paul! Gareth

Welcome aboard, Geebee!

A great sequence, Paul. Closer and closer and....

Great shot, Paul - congratulations!

Congratulations, Paul!

I really like #4 & #5, Paul.

Good to hear from you Dee. Glad you're feeling better. I hope "Part 2" goes well.
