SS Rotterdam
My Home this past weekend.T
he fifth SS Rotterdam, known as “The Grande Dame”, was launched by Queen Juliana in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and completed the following summer. The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch “ship of state”, employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process.[2] Her career spanned forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.
Victorian Strollers
While walking around Osborne house I met these three charming people from the Victorian Strollers. They are just ordinary folk who dress in Victorian style and lend atmosphere to films and TV programs and,visit stately homes all over the UK. I paid for their teas and they posed for me (Although they would no doubt have done it for free)

Osborne House
No.It’s not where Ozzy and Sharon live. It was our next port of call on the Isle of Wight.
Osborne House is a former royal residence in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat.

Alum Bay III
The cliffs here are mostly crumbling sand of varying colours. I thought I’d try to bring this out in black and white. Let me know what you think.
Alum Bay II
Second in the series.For those interested.
I have darkened the sky to bring out the dramatic light on the sandy cliffs. I had forgotten my polarising filter that day so in Aperture I selected the blue colour in the sky, removed the luminance and added a little saturation in the colour version .I then added the red filter effect using Silver Efex pro 2.
Alum Bay (Isle of Wight)
One of the places I visited on my holidays was the Isle of Wight. Thats that small island you see in the middle of the south coast of England.This viewpoint ,which was packed with people, looks out to the Needles which is that jagged formation to the left. In the distance you can see the mainland.
