This is Clive, one of our local bus drivers and the husband of Mo (My favourite "barperson" day 25) waiting at Kingsbridge with the 09:15 from Dartmouth, departing Kingsbridge 10:30, arriving Plymouth 11:32. Clive has already done an early run Dartmouth-Kingsbridge-Dartmouth and after...

Today I checked before I headed off. It was another beautiful day and the canal was open for skating.

Looked out the window this morning and saw that it was foggy. "Good enough for a photo and then I'll be done for today", I thought. Good thing there's only 5 days left. I might change the name of my journey to lazy in January.

No time for proper photography on day 25. Shot this out my car window at a traffic light. It was flat and boring so I gave it a little boost.

Yet another quick post breakfast dash up the hill behind my cottage, thankfully not all the way this time. This is the next to last (it was an equally quick dash home to avoid the last) of the early morning blustery showers after some heavy overnight rain. Could it be that the ghost of that...

When I was a little boy, I liked to make funny faces at cute girls or strangers in the car behind us or people at church or pretty much anyone. I was a typical little boy full of mischief. My grandma used to say......"What if your face froze like that?" Fast forward 30+ years and...

As usual propping up the bar at The Queens Arms, Slapton

Landlady Sandra at The Queens Arms, Slapton confirms with my my choice of usual "Addlestones" glass

If this image confuses you a bit, allow me to explain. TtV photography (Through the Viewfinder) is a microniche of photography that I just LOVE. It brings me back to when I was first interested in photography. Basically, you just take your modern digital camera and shoot "Through the...

This is Mo pulling a pint of Otter Bitter. As some of you will know I make a habit of going to The Queens Arms at Slapton on a Friday for fish and chips and a pint of cider. Well I know today's not Friday and I promise I didn't have any fish (I've got home made fish chowder this evening). It was...

This clearly isn't Florida anymore. It's always nice to come home, but having 4 inches of snow to shovel right when you get off the plane is really a rude way to come home. I almost forgot to shoot a photo for day 21 so I hastily grabbed a few shots when we got home from going for dinner. None...

I wanted to capture how awesome this tree looked in the morning light. I failed. I'll have to try some more subtle processing.

A totally drab and dreary day but these guys are having a good time anyway. They're in town for a conference of First Nations (i.e. Indians and Innuit) and wanted me to take their picture. Solved my problem for the day!

A very boring picture but I didn't have the energy for anything else. The excavation was about to begin.

He appeared every morning. He fished by rolling up his line and waiting for the right moment to throw it on the out going wave and then reeling it in. I never saw him catch anything.

First off, I have to say, "I HATE the beach". I don't like sand, but worse than that is the sun. I'm fair skinned and I burn easily, so I slather up with sunblock and just sit there and cook. But my wife loves it. And I love the sound of the crashing waves and watching the sea birds...

Today there are times when curtains of rain are sweeping across the fields, so a sheltered shot was called for. This is the 1st floor of the derelict barn featured on day 16. This shot was obtained through a missing plank in the door at the end of the barn, the camera was inside on the rising...

I have a few alternates that I like also (neither more nor less than this) and have included them in the comments.

Some friends have rented a condo for a month further along the bay from our hotel. This is the view looking back toward the town. I liked the reflections in the wet sand.

I hope the pigeons can read.

I liked the pastel sky and the light on the water. The local children often came and played here.

The most popular beach in town. I was trying to show the intensity of the sun in mid-afternoon and the contrast it creates.

The sun is so strong in Florida that I was wishing I had an aperture smaller than f22 a few times. I love the way small apertures turn bright lights into stars. It does especially awesome stuff to the shimmer.

Another neighbour has her fuel delivered. You guys are going to think my village is a hot bed of "street" photography. Let me see, the dustbin men are here tomorrow, then maybe John Hannaford the butcher will be here on Wednesday, otherwise I'll have to wait until he is here on...

Coal delivery to a neighbour, this is the drivers dog

I didn't take many shots with my chosen lens on day #16, so all i have to give you is this crazy sad attempt at merging 2 different exposures with some weird ghosting artifacts.

First off....I'm aware that may day #22 is preceding many days from last week, but those shots are at home on my computer yet to be processed (some I haven't even looked at), but I brought the camera to work today and shot this outside my store. I've seen the eviction notice there for over a...

Serendipity 4 days running! With about 30 houses in my village, and not all of those occupied full time, it's unusual to chance upon something happening in the "street". I was off down the estuary on what was proving a difficult day when, just 2 minutes from my cottage I came across a...

Silage being removed from the silage clamp

Shows conditions on my early morning walk to Bowden Farm

A sunrise departure (if the sun was visible) from my cottage, up the hill with low cloud, drizzle and wind, over Great Luscombe and along the lane to Bowden Farm. Just after my arrival the cows were turned out into the yard to feed on silage following morning milking. This one seemed more...

More produce being added to the outside display at this traditional greengrocers in Kingsbridge.

Low tide in Kingsbridge which is at the very head of the Salcombe estuary, which isn't truly an estuary since it doesn't have a major river discharging into it, technically it's a ria.

A couple of figures outside the traditional butchers Lidstone's in Fore Street, Kingsbridge

This is Western Backway, one of two back lanes that parallel the main street in Kingsbridge. The water course is the old mill leat.

A bus ride followed by a short stroll around my local market town of Kingsbridge this morning, then the bus back out to Slapton for my usual Friday pub lunch. This is Alan's Apple, a traditional greengrocers on the hill in Fore Street, although that's not Alan adding to the display, it turns...

This just wasn't planned, all sorts of little disasters today, so I'm having to fall back on this completely atypical shot for me. I wasn't the only one who decided a stroll at Start Point was in order as the rain cleared. Strangely enough it turns out the lady lives two villages away from me...

It's been a grey, overcast day with drizzle, mist and low cloud. As you ascend the hill behind my cottage you enter an almost monochrome world. Here's my attempt to portray that feeling.

Another balcony shot. I did take lots of others, some of them quite usable, but I liked this one the best. This man was taking his dog for a walk by walking backwards down the beach for reasons unknown.

I know it's been done before - many times but, it was a long day and I didn't have the energy for anything other than sitting on the balcony and taking shots of the sunset.
