Bloody rip-off admission price as well! Just to see a pile of old rocks! I think it was about £15 each about ten years ago when me and 'er indoors went!

It was £22, + £6 for a guide book. Horrendously overpriced and the place was rammed.

I went there on a school trip in the 1960's. It was free and you could walk right up to the stones and touch them.
They were just some interesting rocks in a field.
No commercialisation. No fence, rope or anything.

Gaz i would say that some years back your garden was under the sea - Just saying - nothing for you to worry about

A good theory but those stones were brought in from somewhere else.Gaz i would say that some years back your garden was under the sea - Just saying - nothing for you to worry about
The landscaping companies here use what they call 'river rock'.
You can buy it in various quantities to use in gardens.
I've no idea where it comes from, maybe they really are dredged from rivers.
Some of the stones look like granite and the one at top right looks volcanic.
But you are right they have all been smoothed by moving water or tumbling against each other.

There's a cave like that in Kephalonia. Melissani Cave. Boat trips were a couple of Euros. The water was so clear, you could almost see the bottom, and it was really deep!Drach caves mallorca

There's a good cave in Jamaica too. Can't remembere the name of it but to get to it we had to travel hours on a rickety old train.

Until I visited Budapest in the summer and had time on my hands to test my camera, id never managed a long exposure shot. On that holiday over 2 days, I tested it against Trams! And was very impressed with the outcome!

One of my favourite types of photography. It's called Light Trails. Long exposures, best set up on a tripod and obviously taken at night but not necessarily needs to be. You can take long exposure pictures at lighter times of the day but just adjust camera settings. Great pictures as well SW88!

I'm actually looking forward to buying sparklers soon! You can get some fabulous long exp. shots using sparklers. A few examples.....

Thanks HH!
I had a small tripod I used. Again I’d not really used it much before but will definitely use it again

Tripods are a great investment and they can be bought quite cheaply. No need to spend silly money. New ones can start for as little as £30-£40. I have two. One smallish one and one a fair bit bigger.

I have a small flexible mini tripod which I have found to be very useful in the past. It only cost a few quid from Jessups years ago.

I'm a sucker for lizards Gaz. I always look out for them when I'm out and about. Spotted some when in Ventnor Botanical Gardens on the Isle of Wight a couple of years back....

Few more photos from my trip to Utah, these were all taken in the town of Torrey.
A sign for a local eating-place.
A hand-painted street sign.
An old abandoned house, sitting in the middle of a field. It looks well-preserved.
The mountain in the distance to the left is an extinct volcano.

I'm a big burly git of 16stone, shaved head and tattoos. Basically, thug-like. BUT! I have a passion! And that is my wee dog! He is a long-haired Chihuahua who I would give my life for! Anyway, why I say all this is because he is so photogenic and I have literally hundreds of pics of him! I've chosen a few at random....
When we first got him! He was irresistible!
.
How he likes to kip!
.
He likes to wrap us round his fingers, so to speak!
.
He loves the pub!
.
Loves being outside!
.
Loves the camera!

C'mon, lets see those pet pics!
