As close as I dared go and with a zoom

[mikench]

A few of my favourites.

Another.

One last one as it’s World Photography Day tomorrow.

Oh go on then.

Longleat Mike ?

Cheeky. South Africa for the Rhino and Cape Buffaloes. The Oryx were in the desert in Ras al Kheima.

Wild buffalo on the Hampshire Avon plain.

And just as potentially dangerous.

A verreaux’s eagle seen in Dubai last year. Always a treat to see an eagle. I didn’t take the pic.

Yes, Wentworth church from just outside the garden centre entrance. The sun only lines up in about five days in July, just before dusk.

Now your bonus question; where in Rotherham is this?

Not there. Quite a bit closer to your home.

Mmmm (again) if it's nearer to me I can only think of Hail Mary Wood shadowing Treeton dyke or Anston Stones Wood opposite the quarry that gave up the stone to build the Houses of Parliament.
