I'm Erme Lander. Author, Karate enthusiast, cat wrangler and parent - not necessarily in that order. Good to be here! I take snaps on my phone, sometimes they turn out nice. 😄 ermelander.co.uk

#Thursgate
Lychgate, St Cenydd’s, Llangennith.

An elaborate wooden lychgate stands at the entrance to a graveyard. The grey tower of an old church can be glimpsed through the gateway. Everything is wet from rain.

A cluster of crimson roses catches the sunlight, standing vivid before the softly blurred dome of the Khoja Ahmad Yassavi Mosque beneath a clear blue sky.

A row of substantial rounded lichen-covered stones at the top of a wall with golden light falling across their tops; there is gorse (not in flower) in the background and a grey-blue sky.

Daily #Wales at Criccieth in the early evening…

(It stopped storming and raining and howling and was actually rather pleasant weather)

Debris on the shingle beach, a calm sea just coming in, the castle on its promontory - the floodlighting is visible though it’s still quite light - and a sky which might be ominous but equally might not.

Is anyone reading Alt Txt? I’m unconvinced, and might stop bothering… please react if you are and just let me know.

The famous 'dancer from Budva' in Montenegro, created in 1965 by the Serbian sculptor Gradimir Aleksic and is a symbol of the elegance of #ballet and the beauty of Budva.

#Stunday #RockinTuesday #ClassicMono #photography #landscape #scape #nature #photohour #roadtrip #vanlife #EastCoastKin

The picture shows the famous ballerina statue in Budva, Montenegro. The statue, which depicts a ballerina in an elegant pose, stands on a rock in the sea off the coast. In the background, the historic old town of Budva with its red roofs and a church tower, as well as the surrounding mountains, can be seen.
