Finally got back to some of the photos from overseas. Had a
great day at Osborne House, Isle of Wight. Queen Victoria loved
this place, and in fact was her final resting place.
I didn't think that much of this shot in colour, but quite like
the B&W. What do you think? Too busy in the foreground, or
effective? I find it interesting to look at, all the angles,
lines and stairs etc.

Small piece of Piggins trivia - Queen Victoria's grandchildren
called her "Gangan" instead of grandma etc. My brother and I
also called my grandmother, who loved the royal family,
"Gan-gan". Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

Moving right along...
The Needles rock formation, lighthouse and battery. Man, it was
sooo windy out there. I had to wrap my arm around a fence post
to stabilise myself for some of these. I had so much going on
trying to concentrate - wind, worried about exposure with the
white cliffs, haze. Not really happy with the results, but
meh...

And finally this really cool medieval church on top of the hill
at Godshill. Was instantly liking this place. Gravestones right
up to the building on all sides, stark trees with heaps of crows
nests and crows in the trees - ooooh, spooky.
