Discarded on Beach

Discarded - Worn-out old football, left all alone on a Pebble Beach - waiting for the tide to come in -and take him out to sea - RIP Mr Ball.

Ball-biturary,
Yesterday, Mr Ball was lost at sea, his claim to fame -in his younger years he was the ball that scored the last goal in 1966 for England to win the World Cup, playing against Germany.

Snape Maltings Suffolk

 While in Aldebough Suffolk we visited Snape Maltings on the River Alde - where they have concerts.

 Here is a collection of my photos from there
 Such a beautiful place to visit
 Who lives in this house - I wonder?  -
 A great pastime on a Sunday --
 Sun shining on the fields of Grasses and Reeds

 Or - if you wish - a walk along the river Alde

 Tall trees
 Colourful Trees
 Artistic trees
 And of course - many reflections abound.

Header Challenge 26-10-11 = Autumn (Fall) Colours - by Tom.

This weeks Header is Full of Colour - as the theme by Tom is-
(((Autumn(Fall) Colours)))

Please listen to my music as you look thru my Autumn Colours
Andre Rieu - Playing Autumn Landscapes.

In 2007 we took a coach holiday to Austria in October - when the Autumn colours were a "WOW" factor.
My Header shows the mountain side - full of colour.


This is the Coach Company we went with A&P Travel - a father and son company.
If ever you get the chance to travel with A&P - you will be in good hands, good company and assured of a good time.
We stayed in the village of Waidring  at a family ran hotel  called  Tiroler-Adler.                   

Heres the cable car taking us up to the mountain top with the village right down below..


Here's another shot of the Autumn Coloured Mountain with a band of mist swirling around.


Just on the outskirts of our village - you can see the mountains.


Still on the edge of the village  - you can see some of the lovely buildings that are in Waidring.




 We took a short coach ride to a lake very near Waudring called Lake Pillersee
 Just take a look at these fantastic colours of the trees - the Lake.
Never have I ever seen colour like Ive see here.
I could sit here forever - just trying to take in all this Colour - Reflections.
Its so so peaceful, relaxing - if you have never been to Austria before - I can surly recommend it. To Right.

Please visit the other Headbangers and see what  their Autumn (Fall) Colours.
You will find these true friends on my side bar - near my shield.

Good Luck folks - and thanks for all your visits and comments.

Flip a coin

Not sure why folk toss their money here?
Maybe its some kind of a wishing pole.
Wonder if anyone will attempt to try and get the cash - for a night out on the town?.

This is on Southwold Pier.
