I remember the open air pool at Tynemouth. There were all sorts of events during the summer. The bathing beauties were a sight for sore eyes. Now the pool is just an eyesore.

I like them all and would be very pleased to have taken them.

A great set of photographs, agree with the above comments

Love them all. The only butterflies I've seen this year have been in photographs

Absolutely Stunning shots. WOW!!

Hi Tony, everyone here at the house of Fraser wishes you well. Brother in law started treament on Tuesday (chemo? he doesn't talk about it) for prostate.
On a lighter note I was given a list of cd's to choose from, singer not tracks, during my initial scan, what sounded the best was Elvis Presley. I think it was a compilation of every really depressing songs he ever sang

Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa is a secular African-American holiday created Dr. Ron "Maulana" Karenga. Kwanzaa is sometimes spelt "Kwanza" (or incorrectly as "Kwaanza") - and the name is ultimately derived from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" and refers to a traditional African celebration. Dr. Karenga added the additional "A" to the word, to refer to African-American (as opposed to just African), and so that the word had seven letters to signify the seven principles of blackness. The holiday runs from December 26th to January 1st, and was first celebrated in 1966.

In case anyone ever asks

I know the judge will not be influenced, but I think comments on the entries should be discouraged until AFTER the competition has closed.

I would have willingly paid too David and was pleasantly surprised when I was told there was no charge.

I had this problem with a K7. Cleaned for free by APM Camera Repairs, Old Eldon Square, Newcastle on Tyne. Have had good reports of this firm from others too.
