Well, maybe just the one...


Stalham hire yard, originally uploaded by Bay Photographic.

Taken in Richardsons hire yard in Stalham on the Norfolk Broads in the lull between a series of passing showers which had not only threatened the well being of my Nikon 8700, but also ruined the reflections on the oily water in the mooring basin. To be fair, the water in Richardsons isn't that oily these days but I remember it 40 years ago when trailing an unwary hand over the edge of a rowing dinghy was enough to make me reek of diesel for hours, much to my mother's horror.
I have had a long standing and meaningful relationship with the Broads which started in Brundall in 1964 in a boat called 'Silvery Wings'. It was last renewed in 2006, in a bungalow on Riverside Road which did a remarkable impression of 'Silvery Wings' when the tide came up the River Yare twice without ebbing in between.
Interestingly, the photograph I took of the bungalow the following morning has been selling rather well on Fotolia recently.
I wonder why.
