The Caribbean with a Hispanic twist .... that's Puerto Rico. El Yunque tropical rain forest in the distance...seemingly always capped with rain-drenched cumulonimbus clouds. Glorious weather, fantastic music and stunning golf....for those of that persuasion 😁 #Caribbean #island #tropical #caribbeangolf #hispanic #rainforest #elyunquerainforest #djiphantom4 #aerialphotography #dronephotography (at Río Grande, Puerto Rico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG12BXHlznB/?igshid=1lspvwz7zpof8

On my daily walk I always look across towards Fiddlers Ferry 25 miles away, a view which constantly changes with the weather, the light and the time of day. Here are a couple more shots from recent days. #sonya6300 #powerstation #coal #coalfiredpowerstation #power #electricity #generation #electricitygeneration #sky #redsky #clouds #architecture #chimney (at Fiddlers Ferry power station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzNCzkl3wn/?igshid=1sg4npjbazqbk

Fabulous skiing all around Salt Lake City...whether you want easy cruising or heart-wrenching technical stuff. This was a beautiful day on the Park City mountain. I think Utah's been my favourite ski destination of all. #saltlakecity #utah #ski #skiing #usa #sonya6300 #mountains #utahmountains #mountainsandvalleys (at Park City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuA8salMpI/?igshid=gtxhqu4pmorp

A business trip to Poznan, Poland, surprised me with this pretty and vibrant town centre. A lovely few days away from Blighty. #poland #polish #towncentre #sonya6300 #cobbles #colouredhouses #architecture #easterneurope (at Poznan, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGsZ9aPlDUX/?igshid=s5km2bybb1yw

Gina loves her fish, Philippines style, and we're down to the last few Tilapia ...from the "shoal" we bought last time we were at the market. Surely these must be closely related to Piranhas. My blood runs cold when I come face to face with them in the freezer ! #tilapia #fish #fried fish #piranha #philippines #galaxys20 (at Wallsuches) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkym2olp-j/?igshid=1rhn2h9sx6r6s

Comings and goings in Manchester.

Railway arches in Salford. Used for many purposes, from low cost storage to trendy bars. Delapidated, unloved and badly in need of maintenance, they make a bold statement about urban decay...but somehow there's an attractiveness there, too 🙂 #railway #railwayarches #railwayarchesofmanchester #underneaththearches #sonya6300 #graffiti #graffitiart #lancashire #streetphoto (at Salford, Greater Manchester) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGe6JJhFiPv/?igshid=1wt160zwzi8w4

Folding money was donated to this young lad for his singing in Market Street. Great to see the smiles on many faces, passing by. #busker #busking #singer #singing #performer #streetperformer #streetphoto #streetphotography #bnw #bnwphoto #bnwphotography (at Market Street, Manchester) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdBbJSFA3C/?igshid=fpwk6mx6pj43
