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 God****ll. 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.
