Hello All, Still feeling my way around posting pixels into cyberspace.
Here are a couple more taken during walks near Bath, U.K.
All my pics are with GX100.

Thanks, Will. You are my first responder, and, of course, the first is always the most appreciated!! I am shooting jpegs at the moment (one step at a time) and my pics are straight out of camera with a modicum of manipulation courtesy of iPhoto!
My particular favourites on this thread are R000man's poppies and Neil Rea's barges.

Yesterday we spent a lovely afternoon in the gardens of Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge.

Discovered this talented statue putting the finishing touches to the clouds.

"I am a sundial, and I make a botch
Of what is done far better by a watch"

This sundial at Anglesey Abbey seems to confirm this motto by Hilaire Belloc.

Any idea how you tell the time with this?

Taken last November - but it was summer then down south of the Equator.
Boats make great subjects, and while I'd like to be able to take this shot all over again, I like the colours.
But in the nautical category, there's no question that Nigel's Barge Race is the stunner.

PS Looking at the post, in the upload process the image seems to have lost some of it's saturation and 'punch'. If anyone has any magic recipes for image posting maybe they could be added to the FAQ?

Nigel,
Your photo shows the east side of the sundial with a time scale from 4-11 am. On the opposite-west-side the scale runs from 1-8 pm. Judging by your photo you visited around mid-day when the sun was due south, causing a very oblique and inaccurate shadow to be cast (by the straight shadow at the bottom of the pedestal). The sundial is accurate to within 30 mins. of BST.
And before you start thinking what a clever chap I am, I e-mailed Anglesey Abbey and they kindly sent me the info!!

We haven't had much real summer weather here in the southcentral Alaska region (Anchorage) this year (mostly cloudy/raining and 55-65 degrees), but I just came back from a 10 day motorcycle trip with my wife in Washington & Oregon where it was sunny and 75-90 degrees every day.....woohoo!! I took a Canon G9 that I bought just a few days before the trip (replacing my G2). Here are a few pics. Sure felt good to feel the heat of the sun for a few days anyways. :)

Pics of the Oregon coast and my wife with her Ninja 650 (blue) and my ZR-7S.

So far, the G9 seems a pretty good replacement for my trusty G2.
