Rihanna posts one of my pictures !

Pic of Rihanna I took at The Big Weekend in Bangor
My pic that Rihanna posted on Twitter
My pic amongst Rihanna's pics.......

Below my original pic



I had an interesting day today

Last week I took a picture of Terri  Bancroft who was not allowed into school  after dyeing her hair red 

Today I find out that the singer Rihanna ( Probably the inspiration behind thousands of women around the globe going red )Tweeted my pic of  Terri with the caption :

U are my hero Terry Bancroft!!!!! The color of your hair doesn't change who u are, you are an A- grade student

Pretty cool me thinks especially having my pic in amongst hers 

Probably one of the most interesting places my photos have turned up but certainly not the most weird : Music video

STRANDED ship becomes unofficial tourist attraction


KEEP AWAY FROM THE ROCKS SIGN !!
Luckily none of the crew were hurt or injured when this container ship had to be abandoned early last week due to the ship breaking away from the dock and crashing against rocks in LLanddulas near Colwyn Bay

Since then the ship has become somewhat of a tourist attraction with many families , couples and individuals coming down to take pictures and view the scene

WINTER returns ?

Horseshoe pass snowplough


Thought I'd seen the back of winter but it was pretty bad in high areas of Wales this week . Good job I haven't packed away all my winter gear just yet
