Colin - ha ha - you're absolutely right. I've been watching him for ages. I'm not really into his hiking/photography stuff but I'm mesmerised by his accent. Not just the accent - it's his whole northern English vibe. Actually I follow all the northern English photogs on Youtube. Just can't get enough.

What's a "whole northern English vibe" when it's at home ?
They do say there's nowt so queer as folk but you are definitely a bit strange, although we Northeners are special (and not in window licking way ! )
To further feed your fetish I'll give you some more names to look up on youtube - Johnny Vegas, Brian Cox, and Philomena Cunk

Mark, thanks for the coffee series. Really enjoyed it while I sipped my morning cappucino made using an old Bialetti stovetop Moka express.
Ahh, what a memory! When I lived in Italy I used to start every day with espresso from one of those. I used to live just outside of Venice and had to drive back to the military base early each morning.
The fog was horrible and I remember drinking an American sized coffee cup of that espresso to be awake and alert as I drove through the heavy thick fog only being able to only see the side yellow line and white middle line a few feet in front of the vehicle.
When I got to the base for physical training I was so peppy and alert I would literally run circles around the running platoon on our morning 5 mile run. Lol, oh the wonders of youth!
Thinking about it, Italy is where my coffee snobbery began. I was hooked on Illy Cafe.
Thanks for the likes and positive comments. I haven't had much time for photography lately, so not contributing much. Nevertheless, I always enjoy seeing the work presented here.
I have been slacking for a week. Had some surgery (elective) but feel like as they say in the old western movies that I've been gut shot!
Loving the shots posted and congrats Reagan on the D800E ... learn to love it! I was also remiss in missing the third anniversary of Ray's passing because of this surgery. I'll always remember his visits while I was in rehab for my legs and his visits at my home.
Always a smile and a truly pleasant person.
Well here are some more from Arkansas ... please enjoy!
Dolosse - A dolos is a concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to 20 tons, used in great numbers to protect harbour walls from the erosive force of ocean waves. They were developed in East London, South Africa in 1963 and are found in millions around the world.
A "dolos" is the English translation of "sheep knuckle" which they are said to resemble.
