Nature in Vannes - Bretagne - France

Here are some nature shots taken in Vannes and its surroundings.

I particularly like this black-headed gull which posed for the shot.

Strutting in Leeds Castle

When I went to visit Leeds Castle I had the chance to witness one of Nature's most beautiful trick: a strutting peacock. Fortunately I never go anywhere without my camera and therefore I was able to immortalize this amazing moment.

In these two shots you can see the extent of the peacock's beautiful feathers. I digitally altered the natural colours of the photos so that it would give them an otherworldly feeling.

Birds of a feather

I thought that after the article on the Leeds castle's peacock it would be interesting to show other pictures of birds I took in another park in the north of England.

Here is a picture of a white swan. The way it's beak is resting on its fluffy feathers is very endearing.

 

Wind turbines, seagulls and beach huts in Whitstable

I was born near the sea and therefore I feel a very profound bond to its smells, colours and landscapes. Now that I live near Whitstable, I go there often and never without my camera. Therefore, it will probably not be my first or last post with photographs of the Whitstable landscape.

On this photo, you cannot clearly distinguish the sand from the water as it is a low tide. however, the persons walking are an indication of where the sand seems to be.

Seagulls

As you can see with the deep blue colour of the sky, those two photos have been taken at Etretat on the same spring day as the other photos from there.

The deep blue sky offers a very nice background to the whiteness of the seagulls' feathers. 

The world's end - Etretat

When I went to Etretat, we went for a walk on the cliffs and I took the opportunity to take several pictures.
