These are two of the more interesting locations I visited on the coast of Northern Spain.
1. Path to the Hermitage
This spectacular location requires a long and steep descent to get to the bridge to cross and then there are 241 steps to the Hermitage. Needless to say I only made it as far as the bridge but the view was worth it.
2. Cudillero
The fishing village of Cudillero has been voted the prettiest Spanish village by readers of a travel magazine and it is not hard to see why. The way the colourful houses crowd one on top of another up the hillside around the harbour makes for a beautiful location.

Our creator was having a laugh with these guinea fowl.
1. Only a mother could love him!
2. They might have food.

Feed the Birds!
Tame Turnstones? I stopped off at Bacton on my way home from the photoshoot at East Ruston and was surprised, if not somewhat alarmed to see so many Turnstones seemingly watching and waiting for humans. With a cafe opposite the beach and a constant supply of people in parked cars offering tasty morsels it seems they're leaving no stone unturned at Bacton. I got some nice low close up shots but I'd rather observe these lovely little waders doing what they do best in the natural environment. Nature adapts...
This Guinea Fowl doesn't have a Cluedo!
The guinea fowl gave a comical display of chase in the vicarage gardens and they reminded me of a scene in Chicken Run! I took this portraiture shot and removed the messy background. I could then see the resemblance to a piece from Cluedo! Perhaps Miss Guinea Fowl could be a new addition to the murder suspects!

1. "The Housemaid’s Secret" by Freda McFadden
This one didn’t make the cut for ‘Book Titles’ this month but I so enjoyed creating it, I had to include it here!
Lumix FZ1000, 30mm, 1/250, f3.3, ISO 800.
2. Cromer Surfing
This is the roller shutter door of Cromer’s Glide Surf premises just along from the pier. A real piece of street art, turned to good commercial use. Pixel 6a phone camera, 27mm, 1/1560, f1.7, ISO 57.
