A road bridge across a small river, that cannot be seen. The centre of the road is marked with chevrons to prevent overtaking. The scene is surrounded with hills and bare winter trees, and everything is tinted white with hoar frost.

Frinton-on-Sea has always been a bit snooty. No pubs were allowed, and instead of "keep off the grass" signs they had ones that read "no picnicking upon the greensward". An old railway advert, seeking to attract ferry passengers said "Harwich for the Continent". It was invariably defaced with "and Frinton for the incontinent"

A coastal town. A mown greensward on the left gives way to a tumble of green wildflowers on the cliff edge. In the distance are smart, white, art deco buildings

"Track above the Silver Glen
A gravel track that initially climbs steeply up from the foot of the Ochils in a series of zigzags or switchbacks.

Wood Hill, crowned with its distinctive crown of trees, is visible in the background."

Valentine's pillar box topper
Appropriately enough this was photographed on Valentine's Day. It was in Hotham Road.

This is a recent tradition, based on the Yarnbombing tradition. Anonymous knitters decorate post boxes with topical themes.

The top of a UK red postbox, other the circular pillar box style. It has been decorated with a crochet net of cream wool, on which are sewn crochet red and pink rose petals and love hearts

The Straw Bear dance is an old local tradition, revived in its modern form in 1980, and is now the focus for a large festival of Morris dancing, with around 30 troupes performing

Launched in 1975 as the Dayspring, it was later renamed the Golden Harvest. After a very varied career in locations in Scotland and Ireland, it ended up being moored in Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe. In 2011 a southwesterly storm caused its moorings to fail and it was blown ashore near the opening to the Caledonian Canal near Corpach.
