Thanks Dave, 3 year old iPhone 12 Pro but battery is a bit iffy nowadays, thought about getting a new battery but seem to have ordered a new phone now

Love your choice for hollow Keith, interestingly, Kinder eggs are not allowed in the US and we can get in trouble crossing the border with them in our possession.

HelenC · 26 Sep 2023

Urban - I thought I recognised the castle, been there a few times. Nicely captured amongst the town
Hollow - fabulous texture in the stump.

Thanks bill, does seem a bit strange the eggs being banned in the US as they are being sold all over the world- though do believe there is a black market for the eggs around Easter time.

Thanks Helen, we quite like Conwy- town wall walk is pretty good

Quick pic from today's dog walk below Denbigh castle

Most of the castle walls built on solid rock

Steps look pretty solid

Some solid step Keith, I think that I prefer the colour version. I like #3 for your Gate shot.

Fuji Dave · 30 Sep 2023

All very good shots for gate, anyone is good for the theme.

Nice set of gates for the theme.

Kell · 2 Oct 2023

Nice set of solid steps. Though I have to say, after a muddy walk, there's a solid chance I might slip on those.

Gates - I think I prefer the third one. Though, to me at least, it begs the question.. Why are you kept in a field?

Can assure you that you wouldn't be the first to slip there, solid or not

Why are you kept in a field?- I asked her that and she said just take the b....y photo

HelenC · 4 Oct 2023

A nice set. Lovely light on the fields in your chosen shot.

God Gate set. All excellent.

n1kcy · 9 Oct 2023

Beautiful lighting on all 3 gate shots.

overbez · 9 Oct 2023

The photo of your dog with the slipper I'd great, that would be a contender for the wall in my house if it were my dog! The pose with the chin flat on the grass shows they know they shouldn't have it!!

The sunset through the arch is lovely too, great light inside the stone tunnel and the inclusion of the figure adds a wonderful dimension. Processing is just within the bounds of good taste.

Thanks Graham, oh she knows how to get attention when I come in and get a treat when she eventually brings me the slipper .
Yes I think the processing just about scraped in

Good memory shot Keith, and a great set of "upright" shots. I like #1 and #4 the best.

Boots · 17 Oct 2023

A fine set, perfect for the theme.

Another umbrella gone

-Oy- · 22 Oct 2023

Two good takes on the theme Keith.

SimonH · 23 Oct 2023

I like both those forgotten shots Keith, especially the humour int he first one.
Nice tech motion too.

Darkslinger · 24 Oct 2023

LOL, flashback to my fraternity days...I remember getting up, finding that there was no milk and eating my rice crispies using pepsi instead of milk...completely gross now...

Good eye catching the umbrella.

LC2 · 24 Oct 2023

I may have gone with the first of the two shots, but I fully understand wanting to take the opportunity to get the tech in too
