Suffolk Roots

2011-10-26T21:37:00.002+01:00

I spent a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon, which was a beautiful late October day, exploring some
of the villages my ancestors lived in. I lived in Bury St Edmunds in my early years and most of these
villages are nearby in Suffolk. This is Ixworth where my earliest Buckle ancestor was married in 1713.

Indian Summer

2011-10-02T21:20:00.001+01:00

After an indifferent summer late September and the first few days of October
have been fantastic here with record high temperatures. I spent today in
Sheringham which is on the Norfolk coast and somewhere I've been visiting for
over 30 years.

Night time photographs

2011-09-06T18:59:00.003+01:00

I also like experimenting with night time photographs. It can be a lot of hassle, with a tripod or something
to keep the camera stable necessary. I took this shot on our recent holiday, in Ste Maxime. I didn't have my
tripod with me so used the sea wall. A bit scarey balancing £1K of camera above the water. More of my night
time shots are here.

Sculpture

2011-08-31T18:12:00.003+01:00

I am partial to a nice piece of sculpture. My tastes mainly extend to modern pieces
of work set outside. This was part of Exposition de Sculptures Monumentales by
Nicolas Lavarenne in Cannes, there were several others too. There were also several
nice pieces by Anna Chromy on show around St Tropez. Even around Peterborough there
is a lot of modern sculpure spread around the city. All my sculpture photos here.

French Markets

2011-08-13T08:10:00.007+01:00

The French absolutely love their markets. Every town and village has at least one a week and the locals,
and visitors, flock to them. They sell a wide variety of products and many of the french will buy much
of their fruit, vegetables, cheese, meat, etc from markets. All the stalls will have their produce
beautifully presented, this photo is from the flower market in Aix en Provence. A variety of my shots
from markets (mainly french) can be seen here

Summer Holiday 2011

2011-08-06T13:33:00.009+01:00

We got back from our tour around France a couple of days ago. After a day in Aix en
Provence we spent a week in Ste Maxime. From there we visited St Tropez, Port Grimaud,
Cannes and Grasse. Next stop was Les Deux Alpes, our first visit in the summer. While
there we did a bit of walking and mountain biking. Final stop was in Reims on the way
home. I took over 400 photographs, they are all on Flickr, this one of Natalie sitting
on the wall at St Tropez overlooking the Bay is one of the best. She didn't know I was
taking it.

Barbecue

2011-07-16T07:58:00.001+01:00

Got one planned tonight. This is what it should look like, unfortunately it's peeing down with rain :-(

Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare

2011-07-11T07:42:00.004+01:00

I spent most of yesterday at Peterborough Central Park where the last day of the
Peterborough Festival was being celebrated. We spent most of the afternoon watching
the Youth Battle of the Bands competition as my daughter had several friends
competing. They were all very good too. The Hare Krishna guys were in fine voice,
and very good natured, circulating around the crowds.

Fishing!

2011-07-06T18:18:00.008+01:00

I took the new zoom lens (Tamron 70 - 200 f2.8) out at the weekend to have a play with. I took this
shot, I think it's a Common Tern, at Orton Staunch in Peterborough. It was circling over the river
catching fish. I was quite pleased with this, I think it has come out well. I also got a couple with a
fish in it's mouth but sadly they are not in focus.

Virgin Flyer!

2011-06-26T07:17:00.007+01:00

I was laying in bed at 7.00 am this morning when I heard a strange noise outside. Going to the window
I saw this hot air balloon hovering just above the back gardens of the houses opposite me. We get several
over here in the summer as we seem to be on the flight path but this was lower and nearer to houses
than I've seen before, By the time I threw on a dressing gown, grabbed the camera and ran outside it had
gained a little more height, when I first saw it I could only see the top half above the house directly
opposite and as it was so close (about 40m away) it looked enormous.

Fathers Day!

2011-06-19T21:43:00.004+01:00

Well I've had a really good 2011 Fathers Day! I went into Peterborough this morning and watched
some of the Dragon Boat Racing, I took plenty of photographs and some video. Then I made my way
over to Ferry Meadows to catch the end of the 24 hour sailing race Natalie was in. We then went for
Sunday Lunch back in Peterborough. Now tired and full.

On your doorstep!

2011-06-11T21:01:00.007+01:00

It's amazing what you can stumble over literally a few miles from home. Travelling from Thorney to
Crowland (both are only 5 miles or so away from home) this afternoon I saw this and stopped to take
a closer look. It is St Vincent's Cross, the remains of a fifteenth century roadside cross between
Crowland and Thorney, moved here in 1990 from it's original position which was only about 150m away.

Central Park

2011-06-05T22:05:00.006+01:00

Central Park in Peterborough is a delightful space and I've spent a lot of time there over the years. I
used to play a lot of tennis there and when Natalie was born I used to push her there and back (it's
nearly 3 miles away) in her pram. It's where Natalie learned to ride her bike and played on the
swings and other rides. It's where we used to go inline skating and even setting up slalom cones to
give that a go. I've had countless cappuccino's in the cafe there over the years too,.

Peterborough Cathedral

2011-06-01T08:24:00.004+01:00

Peterborough Cathedral really is a most impressive and imposing building. It's right in the centre of
the city but is walled along with the gardens and precinct buildings. Mainly built in the 12th century
it is well known for housing the grave of Katherine of Aragon, Mary Queen of Scots was also buried there
at one time.

Summer in the Alps

2011-05-28T14:15:00.005+01:00

I'm looking forward to a few days in the Alps in July/August at the end of my summer holiday in France.
I'm planning plenty of walking, a morning skiing on the glacier and perhaps a day of biking. It will be
my first visit to the Alps in summer although I got a feel for it when I visited last September and had
one decent day when I took this photograph,

New Camera

2011-05-21T22:32:00.005+01:00

First day of decent light since I got it, Nikon D90 with Tamron 17-50 f2.8, so I had to go out and take
a few shots. I saw this lovely little motor outside an antique shop in Helpston. I really would like to
invest in a little beauty like that.

Skiing April 2011

2011-04-24T21:25:00.006+01:00

April 9th 2011

April 4th 2010

Came back last week from our annual skiing trip to Les Deux Alpes during the school Easter
holidays. The photos above which are views from our apartment show how poor late snow
conditions have been at lower levels compared to last year (and previous years we've been).
Having said that L2A is a very high resort and there was still plenty of great skiing
(and sunshine) higher up.

Sainte Maxime

2011-03-18T19:30:00.005Z

Just booked the first part of this year's summer holiday, a week in Sainte Maxime which is on the Gulf
of St Tropez facing St Tropez itself. It's an area I know well having visited several times. I took this
photo the last time in 2006, it's from the port at St Tropez looking over the gulf, Sainte Maxime can be
seen on the other side behind the yachts.

First Bike Ride for a long, long time

2011-03-13T08:34:00.007Z

Due to back problems I hadn't been out on my bike for a long, long time. It was quite a nice day yesterday
although a little windy so I went out for a short (only 8 miles) local ride. This is a track from my GPS.

While I was out I took a couple of photos. This one is of the bridge on the new A16 which has been built
over the Roman Car Dyke. Unfortunately it is subsiding and the opening of the road is likely to be a
year late (should have been August 2010).

St Anton at Half Term

2011-03-05T15:05:00.004Z

I spent half term week skiing with my daughter in St Anton. It was our first time in Austria and we had a
great time. This picture shows her on the steepish black run leading down to the Zammermoos chair on the
Galzig mountain. There had been a fair bit of snow the day/night before and conditions were very good that day.

4 Musketeers

2011-02-01T12:52:00.002Z

Not too long to the next skiing trip, St Anton, later this month. I really like this picture of my daughter (in
beige) along with the rest of her ski class in Les Deux Alpes last Easter. The other three are brothers and
sisters (inc twin boys) and we've skied with them and the rest of the family several times now.

Banyan

2011-01-28T20:22:00.004Z

The Banyan Tree is really quite wierd with its aerial prop roots. They are found all over the tropics.
This one was at Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. There is a huge one covering ⅔ of an acre at Lahaina, Maui but
although we visited there the only photograph I took of it doesn't really show the scale of it.

Agia Paraskevi Church Geroskipou

2011-01-24T12:27:00.005Z

Agia Paraskevi (St Paraskevi) Church is in Geroskipou in Cyprus not far from where I stayed on holiday a
couple of years ago. The 11th century five-domed (forming a cross) Byzantine church is well known on the
island. The square around it has been sensitively modernised to show it off in a large open space.

Val D'Isere for Men's GS

2010-12-29T20:43:00.003Z

I took this photo earlier this month in Val D'Isere before the 2nd leg of the Men's GS race which Ted Ligety
won. I'd skied over from Tignes where I was skiing to watch. I like the shot, it looks dead impressive
although taken with my little compact. However it's a bit of a trick as the balloon was actually
tethered only a few feet above the ground and was used for TV interviews.

Tignes in October

2010-10-29T19:54:00.004+01:00

Went for a few days skiing on the glacier at Tignes earlier this week with my daughter. I've never been
so early before and thanks to heavy snow the day we arrived snow conditions were superb as you can see
in this photograph.

Smurfs

2010-10-24T13:48:00.005+01:00

Wasting time in a wet, miserable Geneva waiting to be transported to the mountains. Most
of the city is actually closed, well it is Sunday. These apartments are really cool though.
Known as Schtrumpfs (Smurfs) there are several blocks all with equally wacky designs.

Peterborough Arch (again)

2010-10-16T21:17:00.007+01:00

There is a fair bit of sculpture spread around Peterborough. This is one of
my favourites, Peterborough Arch by Lee Grandjean. The pieces are spread
around the town but the greatest concentration is around the rowing lake area.
I've photographed most of the pieces and they can be seen on my Flickr pages.

Country Pubs

2010-10-10T15:57:00.005+01:00

There are some delightful ones spread all around the UK. As it is such a wonderful day here today I had a
wander around Castor which is only just outside Peterborough. The Fitzwilliam Arms really is an attractive
pub from the outside. I resisted though, although it was difficult, and didn't go inside.

Tignes Les Boisses

2010-10-05T17:26:00.004+01:00

I'm off skiing to Tignes in a little over 2 weeks, staying here. Earliest I've ever been
and I doubt there will be too much snow down at the hotel but I'm looking forward
to it all the same. This will be my 3rd time there (with a 4th in December).

Maquis

2010-09-26T13:11:00.012+01:00

I've passed this monument to the local Maquis or french resistance heroes from WW2 many times. However
last week was the first time I've managed to stop to take a look and photograph it. It stands by the side of
the road just outside Livet near to Grenoble. I always find this sort of thing particularly moving as so many
gave their lives during the war.

French Alps

2010-09-24T22:23:00.004+01:00

I spent last weekend in Les Deux Alpes in the french alps. I know the place
well but had only been for skiing in the winter before. Although the weather
was not great for most of the time I did at least get to see the alps in the
late summer sun on the sunday.

Naaaaatalie

2010-09-10T22:39:00.002+01:00

One night on holiday this summer, sitting outside a bar by Nauzan Beach after dark, I was messing
around with the camera experimenting. I quite like this one of my daughter.

Burwell, St Mary's

2010-09-05T16:55:00.011+01:00

My grandparent's were married here in 1926, my parent's in 1957. Many of my relatives are buried in the
churchyard (and the village cemetery also). My great grandparents and my grandparents lived directly
opposite the church for around 90 years and I've still got relatives in the village.

Meacham Family Grave

2010-08-25T19:39:00.006+01:00

A couple of years ago my uncle told me that he had found an old
Meacham (my Mother's maiden name) grave in Newmarket cemetery.
Last year I visited and found it is the grave of my Gt Gt Gt
Grandmother (Mary Meacham 1804 - 1873) my Gt Gt Grandmother
(Elizabeth Meacham nee Planner 1842 - 1869) and a couple more
family members. More information on them can be seen at
http://www.colin.buckle.btinternet.co.uk/genealogy.htm

Florence Cathedral

2010-08-20T19:52:00.002+01:00

Florence Cathedral (Il Duomo Firenze) is a magnificent building. This is a picture I took of the front of
the building when I last visited there in 2007.

Fort Boyard

2010-08-12T19:35:00.006+01:00

Fort Boyard was originally built as part of the defences of the west coast of France in the early 19th century,
it stands in the sea between 2 islands. However it took so long to build that it was redundant before it was
finished. In recent years it has become well known as the scene for a popular game show named after it. As
my daughter had loved that show (both the english and french versions) for years we just had to take a boat
trip to see it close up.

Fuschia

2010-08-09T20:16:00.002+01:00

My neighbour must have made a really good job of watering my plants
while I was away. This Fuschia in a pot in my garden is looking
extremely healthy despite the fact we've had little rain recently.

Camille

2010-08-07T15:00:00.009+01:00

Another photo from my recent holiday, this time from Rouen in Normandy which organises a Rouen
Impressionnée festival every summer. This is Camille by Arne Quinze a wooden installation that
symbolically connects the left and right banks of the Seine on the Boieldieu Bridge. Typically french it
has closed one of the main bridges in the city to traffic for 2 months. C'est la vie!

Bands at Royan

2010-08-05T17:23:00.003+01:00

While I was away on holiday last week there was a fair bit of entertainment locally. There were a couple of
local bands we briefly saw playing by the beaches. One rock/blues and one jazz, both were good though.

Pontaillac beach at night

2010-08-03T17:49:00.006+01:00

This is a view at night of the bay and beach which was 5 minutes walk from where I stayed last week in
Royan. In the foreground are fishermen's huts built on stilts with suspended carrelets (fishing nets).

Saintes

2010-08-02T15:45:00.003+01:00

Another picture from last week, this time of Saintes. It's a lovely little town in Poitou Charente with quite a
lot of Roman remains. It felt to me very much like a Provencal town. This is a picture across the Charente
river with the Roman Arch of Germanicus on the other bank.

La Rochelle

2010-07-31T21:26:00.003+01:00

Just on my way back from the west coast of France. Had a great time, hadn't been there for over 10 years,
this is the old port at La Rochelle earlier this week.

Pearl Harbour

2010-07-16T22:17:00.005+01:00

A very moving place to visit. This is a picture I took of the US flag flying
at half mast above the USS Arizona memorial. The remains of the ship and
the crew lay under the water below the memorial.

Swan Family Outing

2010-07-13T19:39:00.003+01:00

On Sunday I had a walk around the lake at Ferry Meadows followed by breakfast overlooking the lake too. I
took a lot of photos and I was pleased to catch this one of a cute swan family taking an outing.

My Birthday Present

2010-07-11T18:30:00.006+01:00

to myself! No, not a steam train. I got myself an HD Camcorder,. I decided that my last one, even though it
cost a fortune, was well past its best after about 8 years. Youtube doesn't really show it off at its best, and it
was really only a practise session, but it's not too bad.

Geese Eye View

2010-07-07T20:11:00.006+01:00

I took this shot locally on Saturday, which was a pretty pleasant day, at Orton Mere. I
had to get fairly close to the geese, which I wasn't too happy about, they can be pretty
vicious, to get the shot.

Port Grimaud

2010-07-02T19:56:00.006+01:00

Port Grimaud is a great place. It was only built in the 1960's on the Gulf of St Tropez.
It caters mainly for boat owners with most of the properties having berths and there
are a series of canals throughout the place. I was pleased with this shot, considering it
was taken from a moving boat.

Post Football Barbecue

2010-06-27T19:18:00.004+01:00

After a really disappointing match, on a really hot day here, I did a barbecue for
Natalie and a couple of her friends. They are eagerly waiting here for me to finish
cooking.

Waikiki Body Boarder

2010-06-24T20:52:00.004+01:00

One for the girls! I haven't got a clue who this guy was but I snapped him from the
pier at Kuhio Beach, Waikiki, Hawaii. There were loads of body boarders there and
long boarders too, but they were mostly too far out to get a good picture.

Pink Lilly

2010-06-21T18:10:00.005+01:00

I haven't really got many flowering plants in my garden, it's mainly foliage. So I thought
I'd better take a shot of this lilly whilst it's in bloom. I only took it a little while ago,
lovely day here.

Highbury Farewell

2010-06-18T17:42:00.005+01:00

Thought I'd better go for a football photo today. This is one I took of the last ever goal,
a Thierry Henry penalty in the win over Wigan, in the last ever game at Highbury in May
2006. Taken from the seat I sat in there from 1994 to then.

Flight to Maui

2010-06-16T20:06:00.005+01:00

A bit of a change today with a video. It's of a flight I made a couple of years ago
from Honolulu to Kapalua on Maui, both in Hawaii. It was in a 9 seater turboprop
and was a great experience, far nicer than on a larger plane.

Natalie on Super Diable

2010-06-14T17:58:00.008+01:00

I know this isn't very seasonal but I cropped the picture last night and I like the result.
This is Natalie on the Super Diable (Devil) piste at Les Deux Alpes at Easter. This is a
steep black run and there had been a lot of overnight snow on it which had become
very cut up.

Ferry Meadows

2010-06-13T16:25:00.003+01:00

Ferry Meadows is a rather fine country park in Peterborough. I had a short stroll
around there earlier and took this photograph of Milton Bridge. Shortly afterwards
it started to rain.

Sebring

2010-06-10T17:34:00.006+01:00

My hire car in Maui a couple of years ago was this Chrysler Sebring Convertible. It
was a great car to pose about in as Natalie is doing here. Maui though does suffer a
lot with tropical showers coming off the mountains meaning a quick stop to get the
roof back on.

St Mary's Vaults

2010-06-09T19:49:00.002+01:00

St Mary's Vaults is a very old pub in Stamford, I took this
photograph while I was wandering around there at the weekend.
I used to go to the vaults quite often over 30 years ago, how
time flies.

Shiver me timbers!

2010-06-06T15:31:00.007+01:00

When I was down in London a couple of weeks ago I took a few photographs of the
replica of the Golden Hinde. There was a bit of low level filming going on at the time
with these pirates.

Travelling in style

2010-06-05T20:36:00.005+01:00

It's been very hot here today but a bit overcast and muggy. I've had a wander around
Stamford and saw this lad waiting for his dad to get him an ice cream from the van
which was behind the car. What a great way to travel in this weather. I bet the cap
doesn't do his street credibility any good though.

Grimaud

2010-06-04T19:41:00.006+01:00

Grimaud is a great place, just inland from St Tropez in the
south of France. It is built on a hill with an 11th century
castle on top. This cross and windmill are quite magical and
are near the cemetery on the outskirts.

Fair!

2010-06-01T19:23:00.003+01:00

I took this photograph last October at Peterborough Autumn
Fair. I did get one or two odd looks wandering around the
fairground with my camera and a tripod in the dark. It took
a 5 second exposure to get this effect.

Inline!

2010-05-31T17:15:00.005+01:00

I've been doing a bit of inline skating since Natalie decided I had to go with her 7 or
so years ago. This was taken at Mission Bay near San Diego during our holiday there
in 2005. We did loads of skating around there especially in the Venice Beach area.
Reminds me I must lose some weight!

Bird of Paradise Flower

2010-05-30T15:02:00.005+01:00

The Strelitzia or Bird of Paradise Flower is a very striking flower which grows in many
sunny, warm climates around the world. I photographed this one at Pearl Harbour in
Hawaii.

Matterhorn

2010-05-29T16:40:00.009+01:00

I've spent two weeks skiing in Zermatt over the last couple of years, it's one of
my favourite skiing resorts. Over the town and the slopes towers the majestic
Matterhorn.

City centre cycle racing

2010-05-28T17:35:00.003+01:00

The Tour Series comes to Peterborough again in a couple of
weeks. It's quite exciting to watch them race at high speed
around the city centre. This is a photograph I took of last
year's race.

Duke Kahanamoku

2010-05-27T18:51:00.003+01:00

Duke Kahanamoku was a famous Hawaian surfer and gold
medal winning olympic swimmer. This impressive statue
of him is on the edge of Kuhio Beach at Waikiki on Oahu,
Hawaii.

London Stereotype.

2010-05-26T18:15:00.002+01:00

Back to London, from Sunday's visit. This could almost come
from one of the touristy T shirts that you can buy on every
street corner there.

Avignon Festival

2010-05-25T17:14:00.005+01:00

Avignon is a great place and I've stayed there a couple of times.
In 2006 my stay was during the annual festival which couples artistic
performance and street entertainment. This guy attracted a pretty
big audience in the Place de l'Horloge.

London scorcher!

2010-05-24T19:16:00.007+01:00

Although I spend quite a bit of time in London it's for work and I don't see much of the
sights. I spent yesteday though going around many of them on a very hot day. This is
a view of the Millenium footbridge with St Paul's in the background.

Olive

2010-05-22T13:39:00.003+01:00

My grandmother's name was Olive, she only died 6 years ago at
94 years old. By chance one of my favourite plants in my
garden is this standard olive bought for me by my daughter last
year. Taken this afternoon on a great, warm, sunny day.

Gardening tomorrow!

2010-05-21T20:27:00.005+01:00

It's going to be a great weekend here and as I'm away on Sunday tomorrow is a
gardening day. I need to get it looking as good as in this photo taken last June.

Ginger

2010-05-20T19:46:00.011+01:00

This flower is a Ginger which is a family of tropical flowers,
I took this photo at the Garden of Eden Arboretum on
Maui. To me the colours look quite surreal.

Art on art

2010-05-19T17:38:00.003+01:00

I took this shot a month or so back whilst I had a tour around some of the villages to
the west of Peterborough. This is in Duddington and the bridge is over the River Welland.

Cypriot fishermen unloading their catch

2010-05-18T17:41:00.015+01:00

I found watching these fishermen in Paphos harbour unloading their catch interesting
and managed to get a few shots. This one showing a large open mouthed tuna being
unloaded is the best.

Sheringham

2010-05-17T19:06:00.004+01:00

Sheringham is my favourite local seaside resort. It's on the
North Norfolk coast about 80 miles from here. Over the last
30 years I've been there many, many times. I took this photo
from the cliffs last summer.

Crowland Abbey

2010-05-16T17:41:00.004+01:00

Crowland is only a few miles from where I live and I had a
short stroll around late this afternoon. The Abbey is quite
spectacular with the ruins of the old nave remaining
alongside the existing parish church.

Outtersteene

2010-05-15T18:37:00.007+01:00

My grandmother lost all 4 of her older brothers during or very soon after WW1. I
visited the grave of one of them in Outtersteene in Northern France in 2007. The
war cemeteries there, and there are very many of them, are extremely moving.

Refections of Paphos

2010-05-14T16:03:00.009+01:00

I loved the reflection in the water of the bridge leading to the fort in the harbour
at Paphos in Cyprus. I took way too many photos, by day, by dusk, by night of
that fairly plain old fort.

Panorama

2010-05-13T15:51:00.005+01:00

I've been playing around making panoramic pictures by stitching together a number
of other photographs for 3 or 4 years now. This one is taken from Lahaina in Maui
looking towards Lanai island.

European Final

2010-05-12T20:15:00.006+01:00

Fulham are playing in the Europa Cup final tonight, good luck to them. In 2006 I
went to the Arsenal v Barcelona Champions League final in Paris, a great, but
unfortunately unsuccessful, occasion

Florence

2010-05-11T18:52:00.003+01:00

I first went to Florence as a 13 year old on a school trip. I then had to wait until
2007 to return. It was well worth the wait, it's a magical place. This is is a view
of the River Arno with Ponte Vecchio in the foreground.

St Botolph

2010-05-10T16:38:00.005+01:00

Another picture from yesterday this time of St Botolph's
church in Helpston. St Botolph was a 7th century English
saint after whom Boston, Lincolnshire (and hence Boston,
Mass, US) was named.

John Clare

2010-05-09T15:39:00.007+01:00

John Clare was a well known peasant poet in the early
part of the 19th century. He was born and lived in
Helpston near Peterborough and this memorial to him
is in the middle of the village. Taken this afternoon as I
was just driving through the village and stopped off.

Peterborough Arch

2010-05-08T12:03:00.010+01:00

There is a lot of sculpture spread around here. This is a shot showing some
detail from Peterborough Arch by Lee Grandjean which I took last summer. I
won't be taking any photographs here today, it's dreadful; wet, cold and windy.

Memories of St Tropez.

2010-05-07T16:46:00.008+01:00

On a pretty cold, miserable day here at home I wanted something that reminded me
of warmer times. This is a shot, taken from the hill leading up to the Citadelle,
looking over the roofs of St Tropez towards the Gulf of St Tropez. It was taken
whilst on holiday near there in 2006.

Ski Frenzy!

2010-05-06T18:52:00.008+01:00

OK I only got back from my last skiing trip of last winter about 4
weeks ago. But I'm busy planning next winter's trips, booked a
couple more flights today. This is Natalie in Laax in Switzerland
in February.

Planes & Boats & Sunsets!

2010-05-05T19:10:00.010+01:00

On this cold May day in Peterborough it's nice to remember the wonderful climate
and scenery of Hawaii. This is a photo of the magnificent sunset at Waikiki on Oahu
where I was lucky enough to visit a couple of years ago.
