Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts

Contrasts – impossible…couldn’t stop myself here…There are so many possibilities so it had to be a gallery. Some of them I have used before, but they work together as well! For more contrasts, click here.

Travel theme: World-Cups

World Cups for Ailsa! Warm light, tulips of course and – cupcakes. In Sweden they are ordinary muffins with a (buttercup) twist…

The yearly visit to Bergslagen

Every year we go for a short walk among the old wooden houses and the roses in Bergslagen, Ronneby. https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/9685/

Rather like buses, you wait forever for a Chillbrook Sunset and then a whole bunch of them come along at once.  Well, I couldn’t ignore that here in the northern hemisphere we had our longest day yesterday.  Always a bittersweet moment but one I thought I’d record this year.  So, yesterday evening I decided to head out to Bedruthan Steps, on the north coast of Cornwall, to record the sun going down on the summer solstice.

A solstice occurs when the sun’s zenith is at its furthest point from the equator.  During the June solstice it reaches its northernmost point and the Earth’s North Pole tilts directly towards the sun, at about 23.5 degrees. This happened at 11.51 AM BST (British Summer Time, one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time).

Sunset was at 9.34 PM, according to Google for my location, so I set off at about 8.30 to see…

Travel theme: Shine

For the Travel theme at Ailsa’s, something shining it should be…I chose this Flower chafer who was sitting in a heavenly white and pink peony where I  admired him for some minutes.
