Camera troubles followed by health problems. I wish you a much better 2020.
Lovely images of Rio and I really like Dunsborough Italian Bridge, Oh and the light playing under Kiln Bridge, lovely set.

Nigel

Thank you for the write up LennyBloke,
I've no plans to buy one but, interesting to see how they are evolving the GR

You get about a bit! Lovely set Jonathan, all well observed and executed with as has been mention a beautiful finale.

Thank you for having a look and giving me such lovely feedback. I'm pleased some of the images are new to you. Good to get a chuckle Gareth, bloom'in Puffin barging in!
Benz3ne if you can, worth spending a night or two on the island so you can enjoy the early and evening light with the day trippers gone. Not that it ever felt crowded, lovely place to visit even for a day trip. My guess, need to get there early in the Puffin season, the queues for the day tickets was already quite long when we turned up for our ferry.
Bill, taking images from the grave yard. As I was shooting away I started to notice the grave stones where all facing the firework display, then my imagination started to take over and I realised I had to work them in as a juxtaposition to the entertainment for us living.

Well composed and developed studies, certainly worthy of further study. I also think No.1 works well as a vertical image, the crack coming from the top.

Thank you all for your generous comments. I'm delighted I'm not on my own with the minimal and abstract ones, reassuring that others find something in them.
Andy, more a case of an opportunist two shots that came together to sum up a lovely 3 days on the island

No one has ever mentioned "That" camera!? Weird.
The K1 got all the attention and glory only leaving a handful of us shooting APS-C

£570.04! That has to be a great deal for anyone looking for a new camera only £4 more than they are selling the K70

davidtrout set the ball rolling, thought I'd tag along. I will admit that a lot of these shots or similar have been posted here on PU but, hey! My 2019 in 12 shots.

January, Borovets, Bulgaria. After a nasty crash and quite a severe concussion I was banned from the piste so, I had time to wander with my camera.

March, Nothing as relaxing as watching sunshine playing through the ripples of a clear mountain river.
