GIMP is a very powerful photo processing tool. Best of all it is FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). I have been using it for years, alongside XnView MP and Darktable, mainly to clean up photos and remove unwanted objects. Over time, I have experimented with removing backgrounds and the like, but never really got…

Life is a journey. Have fun, eat well and take a camera.
Our kids call us hippies. Our friends just accept us as we are.
Juggling jobs and travels, eating good food, and taking photos. We are living our lives our way. Life is a journey!
Sunrise on Sandown Beach Isle of Wight
Sunrise on the beach at Sandown on the Isle of Wight. I took an early morning walk to the beach to catch the sunrise, with some interesting clouds in the sky. The sun is just appearing over the horizon and reflecting off the beach. Sandown Bay is well protected and is often used by ships…
Table Mountain from a Different Viewpoint
A view from the Victoria and Alfred (V & A) waterfront in Capetown, with Table Mountain in the background. The cable car terminal at the top of the mountain is clearly visible.
Of course, there is a table cloth on Table Mountain.
A Tenby Panorama

Saturday Lunch at the Milk Shed
The Milk Shed in Weston-on-the-Green in Oxfordshire. Brunch at an old favourite place after lockdown.
Fiery Orange Dwarf Lily
That time of year is here again, as the flowers bloom and add colour to the garden. The fiery orange of this dwarf lily, recently potted and given a spot in the garden, caught my eye, and lens.
Rock Shandy for a Hot Summer Day
A Rock Shandy. Ask any bartender in South Africa or Zimbabwe for one of these and he will know exactly what you want. I have struggled to find one in a UK pub, though, to be fair, it is a drink for a hot day, ideally on the beach, but the garden will do! The…
Blowing in the Wind
Having a braai, and this ballon paid us a visit as it passed over.
Shadows – Lily of the Valley
I have posted photos of these pretty little white flowers before. On this particular day, after a short rain shower. I noticed the shadows cast by the sun. The flower pot was in just in the right spot to catch the evening sun. It does add up to a pretty picture, especially with the rain…
Out and About at Limes Farm
