Another cold & frosty day

The last few days have been pretty cold from -3 down to -9 degrees C. Found a nice woodland walk for some photos but forgot my gloves so I wasn't out long as my hands were near to dropping off LOL.

Shadows

Well I did call the site 'photo a day' and this is it. LOL sorry guys no decent photos today just this. of my old door in the dining room. It's the original door from when the house was built (Victorian era). It had been coverd with boarding and when i moved in i tore off the boarding to reveal this pine door. Infact all the doors in the house are original. This one was split but i thought it added character to the house.

St Aidans Church, Bamburgh

St. Aidan's Church is one of the three finest parish churches in Northumberland (others being Alnwick and Norham). Origins date from 635 AD when St. Aidan came to Lindisfarne from Iona. The present building is 13thC, the chancel is said to be the second longest in the country (60ft), and contains magnificent reredos in Caen stone.

Grace Darling's memorial is sited in the churchyard so it can be seen by passing ships. She is one of the most famous inhabitants of Bamburgh. With her father she saved many lives from the wreck of the SS Forfarshire in 1838. She died from Tuberculosis in 1842,at the early age of 26 and lies at peace in the grounds of St Aidan's Church.

Big is beautiful..... Or is it?

Yes folks i've bared all for my photography. LOL A self portrait. Not for the faint hearted LOL. Taken with just sunlight from the window and the ceiling light. A 12 second timer and run like mad to the bed. A good crop to hide the worst bits of course. LOL
I've been watching a programme on the tv called 'how to look good naked'. The stylist called Gok Whan makes up women who don't like their bodies and gives them a makeover and gives them the confidence to let themselves be shot naked (tastefully ofcourse).
