B&W makes for an interesting shot DA.  

Row row don't row your boat gently in the sand

Someone must have pulled the plug out in the centre of the photo that’s why there’s no sea - great pic

How did you guess I took that in the bath after the little one had used it.

Great shot. I colorised it for you. How does the coloured image compare to the original? In my opinion I prefer the B&W for this shot.
And I have a question for you: Did you use the WA lens? It looks like you did because there is a slight fisheye curve effect.

It's sad and waiting for its master to return with the tide.

Lol.  It's sad waiting for the sea and its master to return.

Please leave my shots alone,  if I wanted it in colour I can do a better job myself.

You're very welcome DA.  I hope your holidays ended on some nice weather days.

The day we came home was the best one of all of them,  but in some ways you dont want it hot climbing hills and mountains or as they call them up there Fells.

Yeah, probably cool and or a light breeze would be better for that type of activity.

And a couple of cool showers,   oh wait thats what we got.   Shame really as there was zero view from the top.

Yeah, visibility would be almost non-existent in those conditions.

It was a shame as I planned to fly from there to max height,  but I had to fly from 200ft lower in the end.

Sometimes you just have to adapt to the weather and go with it.

Yes,  I can feel some workshop jobs on the cards today but first I have a UPS parcel to pickup,   Apple sent me an empty box to return my Apple Watch in for a new battery (they actually just send you a new watch like DJI do with drones so Im told) but UPS wouldn't leave it in the safe place as per the instructions I put on the delivery.    I wouldn't mind but it's a box with an empty box inside.

At least UPS erred on the safe side.  However, you'd think they would have honored your delivery instructions to a safe place.

I just had a bit of a hissy fit,    I waiting until I was notified it was at the UPS delivery point and went to get it and they wont release it without two forms of ID.     Never had that before at the other delivery points so it was a wasted trip in the rain.   Again for an EMPTY box.

Glad it was you and not me.  I probably would have blown my top, especially since it is only an empty box.

Yes,  after three trips I finally got it sent off. .   UPS just never fails to disappoint.

That's the one thing you can count on for sure about UPS.

Indeed.   It’s 24 hours later and it’s still at the access point

Nothing seems to move very fast through the UPS logistics system.

I rushed to get back hoping it would get collected this morning when UPS surely drop off other failed deliveries.

They have posted pick up times here but I found out several times that they don't adhere to them.  According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics UPS has a high turnover rate amongst drivers.  Probably part of that turnover is drivers getting caught stealing items.

Im convinced they do just enough to get you happy with the service eventually and then the next time they doubly disappoint.

They are so bad here it surprises me that Fedex hasn't put them out of business.  Seems DHL is starting to expand and take business away from UPS.  Maybe eventually UPS will have to fold.

I cant say I have much faith in DHL either,   both can be good but when they let you down it's frustrating.  Still no movement on departing the access point.   I feel like complaining to someone.  

Sorry to hear about your delivery adversities. But al least you get to pull off some nice B&W shots. Good for artistic impressions, but as others, I indeed doubt that boat isn't going anywhere soon.

Hopefully, the item has moved but they just haven't updated the tracker information.

thank you HGDC84.

No such luck and I popped in to the access point and they are still waiting for UPS to collect it,   although they have been in for other items.

thank you HGDC84.

No problems, thank you for sharing this
