Digging the second one.
Ok, thanks for the reply Scott.
By the way, here's another shot that is taken on the same time as the previous two ones:

Those last 2 pics are just breath-taking guys. Stunning stuff. 
We took a few kids to the Farne Islands off of the Northumberland coast (UK, North Sea) today. I tagged along with my trusty cam. As ever, clicky for the full res (sometimes cropped) biggy.
Arctic Turn, greeting us to the islands. Or sleeping.
Wabbit!
"So you know... did you... erm... see The Bill last night then?"
Ugly, Uglier and... Not So Ugly.
Not So Ugly's back again.
Glyn will likely be able to tell you where this is.
"That git's stolen my Sand Eel!"
Random Arctic Turn.
OK. Fun game time. What happened next...?
And why can one not eat one's own young?
Say what you will, but he still out-does Rich Dickson in the looks department.
And this one has tidier hair too.

Shilbottle at night.
Last night I randomly decided to scare the few members of the village who would still be up by walking around dressed like a SAS guy with torches and kit everywhere. OK, not quite, but it felt like it. I'm talking 2:30-4:30am (check the EXIF for the exact time on each), and as impulse had it, I pulled my camera out and had a wander around seeing what it was like in the dark. Took my flash with me, and these are the results. Not many keepers among them unfortunately. Click for the full-res image, some of which have been cropped.
//edit: I'm aware some of the pics may appear too dark on many monitors - if that's the case, get a better one. :P
Naturally, the first place to go was the graveyard. Where else on a pitch black night at 2am? This is the rear of the church, and has some steps leading down into what I assume is a storage area. As kids we were told that once someone was cleaning the clock (next image), fell over this roof here, and onto the stairs below, their body still being in this storage room. That 'blood' has always been there as long as I can remember None of us buy into this tale, but it does look like blood at first glance - on closer inspection I guess it's the water from the drain above reacting with the limestone(?) or something.
The tower of the church, aforementioned clock included. Bit of noise starts to kick in where the flash (a naked Nikon SB-600) can't compensate.
We've an old lime kiln around a mile from the village, and while we often went there in a mid-teens camping and such, I've not seen the place for a good decade now. Here's a random shot looking out onto the water where the quarry was. Shame about the branch in the top left coming into the pic, but I wanted the street lights in the shot too. It looks like that might be a duck on the water, though I never heard or saw anything. I've lightened this up a bit, so it's rather noisy.
Not a good shot of anything in particular, I just focused on a reflection from one of those street lights, and liked the effect. The central one makes it look like the water is on fire.
A wander down to the Welfare park next they've recently had skate park installed, and here's one of the ramp things. Not for bikes, trust me...
Home of David Ellis. Perhaps.
Sofa of David Ellis. Perhaps.
Well he did say he wanted a half-pipe in his living room... it's a start...
3:58am, and dawn started a good 45 minutes back. Here's a shot looking over towards the nearby RAF radar station. Wish I'd brought a tripod for some of these shots so I could drop the exposure a bit. There's hundreds of decent shots spoiled by lights trailing slightly
A shot looking over towards the sea. Still a bit soft and noisy at the same time - not a good combination!
Silhouette shot looking from the tennis/basketball/football courts, again out towards the impending sunrise.
Not at all come out well, but I like the idea behind it. Flash lighting up the foreground of court, but lots of glowing edges, particularly on the fence and basketball board. And no, I don't know why someone's left a football either.
Having gone looking for a way to get into my old first school (which is like Guantanamo Bay now) I headed back towards the playground on my way home. Here's another silhouette shot, this time featuring some swings. Again, a bit too soft around the edges.
Yes, they're not particularly good photos, but it's the first time I've taken the camera out at night, so it was a learning experience. I'll get the hang of f/stops and exposure times eventually. Just bumped into the one guy walking his dogs around 3:45am... don't know which of us was the more surprised. I should have stayed around for the sun-rise itself, but I was bored of taking photos, and I'd still be have been waiting for another hour or so.

Took a trip to Kielder Resevior, up on the England Scotland border with the family today. Weather was pretty murky, so didn't take many shots at all, and the number of keepers can be counted on a single hand. Only this one worth posting in my opinion, a Foxglove, fresh from the incessant drizzle we had. Best I'll get without a macro lens (this was taken with a 55-200mm Nikon).

Any chance I can get that in a higher res? Would be a great desktop!
Awesome pics here!

Danny87 that is amazing :D
I bought Nick's rather awesome D50 a few weeks ago, which was a good decision! Most of the photos after page 3 or so aren't mine but I liked them anyway. :P

dunno, heres another angle of him
Snap with the first one!
As ever, clickees for the biggees. I haven't bothered to crop or correct any, so take them as they are. Straight from the camera.
Random BTCC shot. Somehow no contact. Probably the warm-up lap.
Weeee! I knew there'd be a few 3-wheelers on the card.
Well, that no-contact pact didn't last long.
Tyre-wall-death-by-Chilton.
As we all know from last year, with the cone huggers, they do have brave marshals in Scotland. Here's a shot after they'd retrieved what Tom left of that tyre wall.
And, 1 short lap later, here's what the tyre wall left of Tom's car.
Green car! Green car! No I'm not speaking the obvious, it's written on the car. Not sure why. Perhaps the assembly team are colour blind.
When you're in a title battle tighter than Scotsman's wallet, you don't really want to be in this sort of a position.
Or this one.
Nor this. Still, it's the BTCC. They make them like tanks, expecting to be Plato'd. Giovanardi gathered it all up and lost a couple of positions IIRC.
Some from the aerobatics display (Scotland could only afford 1 plane) during the lunch break.
This could have been such an awesome photo if I'd panned down a touch.
And no, I couldn't be arsed to take many photos on the day. Only visited one more place on track to take photos, the start and finish straight just before the braking point for turn 1, and lets just say my panning shots need work.
