I did convert it to monochrome as I think it is very effective for pictures like this.
I am going to blog about the concert a little later...and there will be more pics on my blog...and there are already some on my Flickr site.

Here is a link if anyone wants to have a peek at them.

I decided I'd have a little look at your pics,it turned into quite a long look if I'm honest :)
You've some lovely landscape shots (Bpool tower with the sea is a beauty).also I couldn't help notice your bread and butter pudding (Mmmmmm),Just like mother use to make.

Your quite a dark horse with the old camera :D

Right, go into adobe elements, then from the sidebar you take the eraser & the colour patching icons ........... :)

What type of "hound" is it,G shepherd? it's got a Nice solid colour and looks very alert :)

Supposedly a Belgian Shepherd (Malinois), she does have the looks but not the colouring to my mind, she's also got no pedigree papers that we know of. We got her when she was 6 months old from friends who couldn't manage her, they paid €500,00 for her, seems steep to me & I think they may well have been done. :o

As for being a dark horse.....well, I like to think I can take pics.....I also like to think I can write too (check out my blogs when you have a week free to read -there are a lot of them too) - but neither of these talents would ever make me a living.....so I guess I am only half as good as I like to think I am. :D

Thanks Frank.
It was quite a night. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
There was only one thing wrong - it went by far too quickly.
I wished I could have gone again yesterday(the last of his shows in Manchester)...well except I was tired from burning the candle at both ends.
I'm sure if someone had handed me tickets to the last show I would have found a second wind:D.

Before I went to look at the progress being made on the Tod curve I had a wander around the town.
I took a few random photos of the place where I spent a lot of my life.
The good old White Hart was a cracking pub but now is Weatherspoons, once again street furniture spoils a decent photo.

No.7 There are a few shops hanging over the river and years ago there was even a pub called The Grapes.
No.10 Stansfield Hall, behind my sisters house, looks like the gates have been weighed in.

At €500 it would suggest she is indeed a pedigree,No need for papers really unless you plan on breeding/profiting.
As for steep....No,mine cost £500 with No papers,but after the bond I built up
,I wouldn't sell her for the world.:D

Here's my scruffy munchkin ... cost: free to a good home by way of a puppy mill:mad::mad::mad:

She's deaf and, even I have to admit it, dumber than a bag of hammers.;) But she's chock full of love, and is seen here guarding a dirty ashtray and my stash.:D

Maybe you will like this one ... but not taken today. She is with her special friend Mike, who used to work as a debt collector for Satan's Choice;) ... she's a real biker chick:D

Really interesting concert photos, Margaret! It's difficult capturing concerts - I tried many times in my youth (Queen, ELP, Genesis etc. - I am showing my age, I realize that)
