Slow Horses #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision #photography #EastCoastKin
Horses parading down a tree-lined street, with onlookers on the left side of the road. The riders are in military style uniforms with blue jackets with gold braiding, yellow trousers, a red belt and a gold helmet with red plumage. Each rider carries a red flag. A tall yellow building with windows on four stories with Juliet balconies is in the foreground behind the onlookers. The next building in pink is mostly obscured by trees

Bonfire night, Saffron Walden #stunday #photography #EastCoastKin
In the UK, fireworks are generally reserved for New Year's Eve and Bonfire Night in November. Here, orange, blue and white fireworks are going off amongst a blue laser show. In the foreground, a crowd watching the fireworks, some children sat on a parent's shoulders

Grantchester - Bridge over the river Cam #scape #landscape #photography #EastCoastKin
A river with a brown riverbed runs through the centre of the picture, passing underneath a bowed wooden footbridge which links the two lush green riverbanks on either side. There are trees on either side of the river. The one closest to the bridge on the left bank is cut off just above a large gnarly branch that stretches across the river

The shadow of the canopy of a tree in Madrid in full, almost directly overhead sun. The shadow falls on the pavement around the trunk of the tree which rises vertically until it is out of frame.

Spooky Pumpkin 🎃
#31daysofhalloween #spooktober #photography #EastCoastKin
The spooky, illuminated face of a carved pumpkin with big eyes, two small slits for a nose and a wide thin grin with regular stitches. The photo is taken in darkness , little of the external colour of the pumpkin is visible. The internal candle illuminates all of the carved features in an orange glow

Morning! Nearly time for sloe gin production #BlueSkyMonday #photography #EastCoastKin
A number of sloe berries on the end of a blackthorn branch. The sloes have their distinctive matte blue patina that appears as they ripen, smeared in a few places revealing a darker, shinier blue beneath

Farewell to British Summer Time, but hello to these little fun guys on a sunny autumnal walk this morning. Anyone know what type they are? #stunday #photography #EastCoastKin

Photo of the inside of Ely Cathedral, with the choir stalls in the immediate foreground with white candles placed at regular intervals. A chequered floor leads up the middle of the frame towards an ornate wooden screen in front of the main altar at the back of the church. Light is steaming in from a domed window high up

Thanks Jaycee - this is the viewing platform
A narrow viewing platform with a base of metal mesh, and guard wires and rail at the side juts out above the town of Åndalsnes with a view of the surrounding mountains, fjord and river below. A figure in white t-shirt, dark shorts and a backpack stands at the end of he platform, facing away with arms outstretched

El Capitolio, Havana #palacesandgardens theme: #facade #photography #EastCoastKin
The domed neoclassical style Capitol building in Havana - modelled on, but not a direct copy of the US Capitol. We can see the rounded end of the building in the foreground. The long side of the building stretches away and features both doric and ionic columns. The top of the dome is covered in gold leaf. A few pedestrians are crossing the palm tree lined road in front of the building, and a single 1950s US classic car is turning towards the camera in the foreground. Overcast sky above

Malham Cove, North Yorkshire #RockinTuesday #photography #EastCoastKin #YorkshireDales
Limestone cliffs that have been eroded over millennia by ice sheets and later running water that once dropped 70 metres into the valley below. Further in the background, green hillside can be seen, and in the valley below, fields marked by dry stone walls
