A bit sparing this time, I'm laid up with a chest infection so haven't been very busy.
When is the rain going to stop? There cant be much more water left up there.
You can understand why the Scandinavians are big on Sauna's. Somewhere hot to hide away, then a swim in the fjord or snow angels to cool off before rushing back in to warm up again. We dont get so much here because we were basically a Serfdom until quite recently (some would say we still are). The Lords and Barons might have had something but most of us were expendable.
In the distant past, some villages had what you might call a communal bath. The Blacksmith would roll a barrel out to the village square, fill it with water and light a fire under it.
When it was hot enough, the mayor or the local lord and his lady would remove their clothes and climb in. When they had finished, their children went in, then the next family down the hierarchical ladder. Until finally the village idiot, thats one of the reasons he always smelt. Nudity wasn't an issue then.
These days some of us try to improve things with a hot tub, the one above is massive, must hold 20 people and have room for a couple of reindeer. The trouble is there is no hot room nearby for when you get out.
We used to have a mixed nude sauna at the Loughborough leisure centre and like the barrel nobody worried about who was joining us in the facilities, not all were naturists, but they enjoyed it none the less. Although I get the idea that some of the staff weren't happy about it, even if they didn't have to go in while we were there. For no real reason, the whole thing was changed and as far as I can find out there is no mixed nude sauna any more
This weather is a good excuse to play with indoor photography and it can be a lot of fun, but I wont elaborate.
Also on the not so good photos, you can practise with Photoshop or other editing software.
This one was good in monochrome, but I decided
to add colour and remove the background
And there is no need to explain this some is good so more must be better.
