Every day at Fredrichshafen. Also one of the best places for lake swimming.

 

[Folkranger]

All I asked for was a £7.30 BLT

Nice to know you can go to a busy UK tourist spot and not get ripped off.

 

[seasideBill]

Meersburg, Lake Constance (why is there always a blimmin crane in the background?)

Following on from the interest my photos of the cats on the campsite in Crete generated, I present to you ‘The Birdman of Aix-les-Bains’

Form an orderly queue now!

And Aquagirl went in for a swim. Very warm considering we are up in the mountains - must be because it was so shallow by the town beach.

Great cycle path along the lake as well.

 

[Mikey RV]

Love the photo with all the sparrows lined up.

They look so orderly in that one but sparrows being sparrows it was a bit of a free for all when they got going!

90s and 2020s it was a fact at least 30% of all tower cranes in the world were in Dubai. I can believe it, i saw them. I am guilty of having a few.

You wouldn’t want to go swimming where we’re staying. At least 100+ swans and everyone of them with attitude!

Not complaining about weather. We’ve been away 5 weeks and apart from right at the beginning we’ve had great weather.

 

[Jimbo50]

Now at Haza about 55 miles east of Valladolid Spain and yes still looking for the birds The Motorhome stop is high up on the hills and have just managed to see the Vultures out on the rocks. Left the telephoto lens camera at home, so apologies for the limited focus, but here goes. Centre of photo on rock face.

Some photos around and in the walled garden , some interesting wood carvings at Elford near Tamworth
The river Tame runs along the end and I was surprised by the smell and amount of small dead fish, must be something in the river.

Not avery good shot but it an jumbo style Elephant with water coming out of its trunk

 

[Folkranger]

A four mile circular walk near the River Ure. Of course with a pub stop.

 

[windboy]

Pics of street art taken last week in Ferrol, Galicia. Over 500 in total.

Now in Asnelles on the Normandy coast for two nights in the well kept Camping Municipal. Of course we couldn’t ignore high tide this morning, but Madame looked a bit out of place compared to the French water walkers who were all togged up in their wetsuits.

Is this water walking something peculiar to the French? I’ve only ever seen it over here and it appears to be very popular amongst a particular age group - oldies.

Many of us oldies have dodgy knees, walking in the sea in a wetsuit has a couple of benefits, wetsuits are buoyant and especially in salt water take weight off your knees and the second is that water resistance makes walking a little more strenuous thereby giving you a gentle workout. win, win.
