Autumnal colours are a rich hue. A hue that is so rich that you wonder why death and withering has to be so colourful

And then you think that it perhaps is nature’s message to us. That it is all part of a large cycle!

“To the memory of the fallen and the future of the living” said a campaign advert at a tube station. Didn’t mean much until I chanced on this ‘Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.
A while later that it is an awesomely well woven campaign by @royalbritishlegion for a cause that is very worthy

Every country can learn an ample lot on honouring it’s warriors from #MyPoppy

The Gribble bores into wood. With many legs and multiple teeth. So, in 2008 as part of the Yarmouth Pier Renovation project, (Yarmouth Pier is a wooden Pier, the longest in the British pIsles), they thought of the Gribble too. As an art installation.

So it sits there. Nothing more than a lump of concrete from behind. Showing its teeth and popping it’s eyes in the front . Its a seat, where you could go and sit atop it too. Perhaps in symbolic victory!

The Chairlift to the sea! It is one heck of a chair and a hullava lift! Simple sheet and straightforward. Yet it offers some incredible sights to savour
Like the waves rushing to a multi coloured shore, with the wind blowing freely and the Needle Point watching it all in stoic silence!

I was told the Olympic torch for the London Olympics made its way up via the Chairlift! The torch indeed goes places, I must say!

Perhaps it was the effect of Tennyson whose home this place housed. Freshwater Bay, Isle Of Wight.
It was a spectacular sunset. The fact that there was Sun was such joy. And then to see this sunset was a huge lottery win!

“The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, UK, close to Alum Bay. The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer” says Wikipedia.
What it doesn’t say despite trying hard to say it all, is that it is spectacular! Remember these are column of chalk in the sea!

Catching the wind and riding the wave! Only a few can do it well and with ease. Those who do have a good time! 🙂 The first time I saw #KiteSurfing in action. It is something.
