OK, lots of pictures of flags here as it was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Three flags flying from a private house:

Bunting and Diamond Jubilee flag at the local library:



Lots of Union Jack bunting, clothing and flag-waving in the local ASDA:

And a selection of cakes and other bits of confectionery in the food tent:

Some very beautiful nature photos on this page. Thanks, Tequila and treblecake.

That was at the Adelaide botanical gardens. The tree wasn't quite so bright (I turned the saturation up a bit) but it was still pretty amazing.

Thanks, and I agree I'm loving Tequila's shots

Thank you treblecake and keira on your nice comments on my photos. I'll post some more in another hour or so when I get home. I still have quite a lot of them to go - I hope you don't get too bored by them!

OK, some more photos:

The interior of a local bar:



Scenery from the local Bowland countryside:

Waaaaah!
I wanna be there!

Here's some photos from an educational day at a local farm. Probably not very representative of what went on but meh...

Nice flowers, Tequila.

I like the pictures, Tequila. It is so easy for a person that has not been there to get a sense of how it looks like. That must be a talent

lovely photos tequila!

Some photographs from Southport taken on the 12th July, when I was in town for the OO parade:

London Street:



The nearby Derby Road - there is a big supermarket just to the right of this shot, I think:



The Cenotaph, right in the centre of Southport. It reads: To the men and women of this county borough who gave their lives for the liberty of the world and the security of this Realm in the World War 1939-1945

Their names are recorded in the Book of Remembrance which lies nearby in the keeping of Christ Church.

The fountains added to the memorial pools are dedicated to their honoured memory.



The Ramada Plaza buildings just outside the town centre:



The Marine Way Bridge:



A view of the Promenade Footbridge, from Marine Parade:



A view of the Promenade area and Marine Lake, from Princes Park:



Outside tables at café on the side of the Marine Lake nearer the town centre and away from Princes Park:



Another shot of the Marine Lake behind some hedges:
