SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY

These are my contributions for the SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.  This week I visited Islay Island, Scotland for the day. Later in the week I attended a Tea Dance and workshops at the Ulster Hall in Belfast which were organnised by Kaleidscope.  Enjoy this post.

1.Leaves

As it is autumn, the above and below images are some of the LEAVES I found to photograph in Northern Ireland.  A wonderful time of the year.

                                                                                          2. A Hat

The man in this straw HAT below was waiting to go into the Tea Dance and when I arrived back off the train into my town after the dance, I knew I needed another 'HAT' shot so I went into a shop and this sale assistant was a great sport and very happy to wear one of their hats for me.

3. Stop

As I said, I visited Islay and this shot above was were our boat had that come to a STOP at the Marina.  Below the image was taken at the RSPB Reserve when we were having our lunch STOP. I was the only woman with 7 men on this trip!

4. My Town

MY TOWN is called Bangor and is in County Down, Northern ireland and as you can see it is a coastal town.  These photographs were taken one evening when my friends and myself went  for a walk on the coastal path in an area known as ‘Pickie’.

5. Up

When we were travelling back from Islay, the skipper took us to see Rathlin Island to look for more birds. Now the light was fading quickly however high UP on the cliff is the most unusual Upside Down Lighthouse.  You can really only see it from the water below it.  So this was a special extra for me from the trip.

One of the reasons we made the trip to Islay was to see the 22,000 recently arrived Barnacle Geese and the image above you certainly can see some of them rising UP in the sky.  Just in case anyone does not know what these geese look like, I have added an image of them below. 

These are a few extras images for UP because I managed to take these shots between workshops when we were having a coffee break.  This juggler was practicing for a later performance. Balloons are UP and decorating the room.

I had a 12 second video of the juggler. CLICK HERE if it does not appear below. 

I hope you enjoyed how I interpreted the word prompts this week using my photographs and video.
