Very nice, Paul. I love the flare (two point diffraction star??) from the sun... very distinctive

A few from today's walk to Causey Arch in Stanley, Co. Durham, about seven miles from me...

My main intention for the walk was to get some exercise and visit this woodland that I've never been to before, despite always living close by. My secondary intention was to get some photos of Causey Arch railway bridge, the oldest surviving rail bridge in the world (built in 1725-1726). Unfortunately, due to the time of day, very bright sun and dark shadow areas, the dynamic range was simply too much for the little Canon A1200. The bridge was almost directly back-lit, so no dice. If I'd taken a tripod, I could have captured several shots at different exposures and combined them, but really I'd have been far better off taking a DSLR. Much as I really like the A1200, one must accept its limitations as an older, tiny-sensor camera

Still, I got a few snapshots of other things... nothing much - a rock cliff formation (larger than it looks - my Mum climbed and abseiled down it in her younger days ) in the gulley, the old Tanfield railway line, picturesque power lines and the rather cute local tea rooms

All taken on the A1200 with CHDK, processed in RawTherapee with some mild film-simulation added to the mix...

Thanks! Those phone cams are criminally underrated

A couple from my pleasant lunchtime stroll along the River Wear (pronounced "Weer"), on a hot, sunny day... again, shot in raw with the Canon A1200 using CHDK, processed in RawTherapee

Taken at our annual Parish Fair today... the shell of a live and rather beautiful giant tortoise, which was part of a viewing (and, in some cases, petting) experience by a registered endangered wildlife keeper and conservationist.

When capturing this in close-up, I thought it might make an intriguing abstract image, although anyone familiar with tortoises could probably guess what it was

Shot with the Canon A1200 using CHDK, and processed in RawTherapee

This afternoon, I drove to South Shields, a coastal town roughly 18 miles from my home by road (a little closer as the crow flies). Here, at the mouth of the River Tyne, lies historic Herd Groyne Lighthouse (built 1882) - a subject I've photographed several times over the last few years, and one of my local favourites.

The light was beautiful though, sadly, the skies had few clouds to add interest for photographic purposes, and there was a chill wind blowing! Still, I grabbed the below shot in the early evening sun, looking up from the rocks on the beach below. Once again, I used the Canon A1200 with CHDK to capture in raw, and processed in RawTherapee

You're making that A1200 sing, Mike.
