Slideshows

A selection of my own images, taken around the Hope Valley area of the Derbyshire Peak District.

Top of my bucket list was a visit to Maho Beach, St Maarten to witness the planes landing low over my head and to watch the take offs.
I was not disappointed at all. I also flew to the nearby island of St Barts to experience the dangerous landing over a hill and down onto a short runway.
I do have some shots of Sunwing Airlines, the airline that Ken Cox's grandson, Spencer is a pilot.

I spent 2 gorgeous weeks on the island which is shared between France and Holland.
St Maarten has plenty to offer with beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. I have featured a few of my memories in this presentation.

This is my first attempt at the digital book. There is a lot to correct because some of the 'pages' do not open smoothly and I am still working on it. I run a small Audio Visual club at U3A Noosa in Queensland, Australia. All the members are new to AV's and this is one of the projects.

This started out in 1994 as a film based two-projector transparency show, and has evolved over the years. Still a few film shots in there.
It's people pictures in a similar style to my Feeling Groovy

An AV using variations on one image.

A collection of abstracts making use of objects and animations
 

As we approach the end of winter, a new slideshow.

This is my tribute to the classic Sci-fi film 2OO1 : a Space Odyssey, inspired by the Through the Star Gate sequence with my own beginning and end. All done with stills, no video, in Pictures to EXE V8.
You'll need a pretty fast PC to run the PC version without stuttering. I'm trying to upload the Video version which runs on almost anything but having no luck at the moment.
 

The disused Victorian Cemetery in Sharrow, Sheffield UK. Overgrown and dilapidated, it is now being restored. These pictures were taken before that work started.
The music is Cursum Perficio by Enya. It translates to "My Journey ends Here" which I thought appropriate.

A celebration of Autumn, as we call in in the UK.

Padley Gorge is a narrow gorge in the Peak District of Derbyshire England. It is wooded with deciduous trees and has numerous waterfalls, hence the choice of music - Waterfalls by Rick Wakeman.

My take on the frieze around the base of the statue at St Pancras International Rail Station

People pictures (mostly candid) with an appropriate soundtrack

I submitted this show some years ago.  When I did a search it did not show up.
Maybe now a good time to look at it again in light what is happening here in the U.S.

Greetings, On our road trip in Italy from Naples to Palermo, we just happened to stop in this town for a cappuccino one morning. It was just a serendipity moment that I recommend to anyone to make a stop here.

The Mayan people developed one of the most sophisticated cultures in the western hemisphere.

Before the arrival of the Spanish around 1509 the Mayan religion was characterised by the worship of Nature Gods, a priestly class and the importance of astronomy, mathematics and astrology.

Dance was one of the public actions and everybody danced; kings, nobles, priests and commoners alike.

Highgate Cemetry a Victorian wonder

New slideshow, leaving behind Autumn and entering Winter.

This was inspired by the song which I heard on the Royal British Legion Festival of Rememberance 2016. The words by Priestley I found very moving also. The AV
lasts about 6 minutes.

Royal Greenwich Park is situated in South East London.  During the summer months concerts are performed on the bandstand.
Greenwich Concert Band plays there every year.  The music "Greenwich Park" used in this audio visual was composed by one
of the band members and played by the band.

My annual end-October visit to the Scottish Highlands.
