Weekly photo challenge: Sea

This week’s photo challenge is Sea. The sea is so many things to me.

It’s a great healer.

But the sea is also cruel and devastating. The wreck of the scallop dredger, the Solway Harvester now moored in Douglas Harbour is a sad reminder of the seven Scottish fisherman who lost their lives at sea in January 2000.

It’s a permanent mirror to the sky.

It’s versatile and can be fun.

I just know, close to the sea, that’s where I’ll be!

Weekly photo challenge: Carefree

I took these photographs at Curragh’s Wildlife Park last Sunday. The first couple of animals definitely display some carefree behaviour. Batman didn’t even bat an eyelid when I was photographing him! Or is it Batwoman?

The last two would need to chill out before I could include them in this week’s theme!
