 Must get back to it.... only a few days holidays left... really not looking forward to going back to work...

Been to Porland .....

Well i spent the weekend in Portland, was not sure what to expect but i must so i had a rather excellent time.
One of the highlights would have to be the Maremma dogs, they are used to guard a colony of nesting gannet birds at Point Danger near Portland, however i think the dogs must get a bit lonely....but a beautiful dog....below are some of the photos i took.
