On the beach (365: 99). Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. I had to wade into the sea, to get one shot, so I thought I might as well take my 365 days self-portrait at the same time, I think the people on the beach thought me a little odd, especially as I was using the flash for a couple of trial shots.
Funny how I ended up sunbathing on the nudist beach; maybe I should have taken these shots there – though I don’t think standing in the sea pointing a camera in the general direction of one’s genitals would be considered gentlemanly behaviour.
And before anyone asks the sea was Bloody cold!

Langstone Harbour Entrance
Langstone Harbour Entrance. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. This channel marker is looking pretty beat up. That’s probably because it’s close to the beach, and so a good target for stones, and quite likely either someone has run into it, or tried to tie up to it.
In the distance you can see people on the beach on Hayling Island, and the sea breaking on the East Winner sandbank. While checking that I’d correctly remembered the name of the sandbank I uncovered news from 2014 of a newly discovered wreck on the East Winner, revealed — or should that be uncovered? 🙂 — after unusually violent storms.

Out for a ride

Firelight (365: 98)
It was 27°C (81°F) in the shade here today, so what better way to celebrate in the cooler evening than sitting by the fire with a glass of wine.
Note. Kids can be a right royal PITA. Despite being told to stay away while the building work is going on, both have turned up and are staying over – so I was unable to get to my computer to post this yesterday.
These are all re-edits (2017) of the original pictures.

What a Difference a Beer Makes – Product Placement (365: 96)
What a Difference a Beer Makes – Product Placement (365: 96). Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. Today Thursdays and the 365 days project conspired to really get me down.
I’ve not had a decent self portrait idea for what seems like weeks, it’s all been the luck of the draw on the day (well night mostly, and late night at that). After deleting a whole series of shots I considered awful, I resorted to what turned out to be a very depressing picture taken at my desk, which summed up how I felt.
At the PM‘s suggestion – because I was so grumpy – I had a beer, returned to the camera with a second, and all of a sudden the world seems a happier place!

I don't like Thursdays
I Don’t like Thursdays… Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved. After deleting a whole series of shots I considered awful, I resorted to a very depressing looking picture taken at my desk, which sums up how I feel.
By Thursday I’m so tired I’m just useless for anything, so Thursdays tend to be the worst day of my week. Friday I’m looking forward to the weekend which perks me up, and Saturday I can lay-in, catch up on some sleep, and re-charge my batteries for the coming week. Thursdays are just terrible.

A Peek Behind The Scenes
365 days can do this to you… – Normal service will be resumed tomorrow 😉 This is how the picture actually looked when I took it. I was using a bedroom for most of my pictures, and because of the skirting board and the shadow the bed cast, I was limited to standing on a box to get my lower body away from the distraction and into the light.
