Finally . . . for all those that have asked . . . my brisk morning walk, led me to the famous Waterfalls I mentioned in my #scavengerhunt 53 post late last year.

And the torrent of water certainly does make an impressive sight . . . and sound
. . . when standing directly above one of the viewing points along the riverbank.

The history of the falls makes for some very interesting reading! From the legends of the past and how the falls came to be named (Huka being the Maori word for “foam”) . . . to even more recent times. Such as 1989 – when a local Dominatrix was arrested after the body of a well-known Cricket Umpire was found beneath the falls with wrists and ankles bound in bondage fashion!

Little wonder that the falls are apparently the most visited natural attraction
in the country . . . oh, in fact I think I can hear another walking party
approaching now!

Still, even despite the constant thundering noise of the water . . . and the constant stream of visitors (there is yet another party on the opposite bank behind me) . . . the falls do give one a strange sense of peace and tranquility and relaxation.
In fact a perfect location for a Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt  photo-set!!!

I do so LOVE big “equipment” . . . and loved finding this impressive piece of machinery just around the corner from our holiday apartment
in Greece last summer.

Mmmm . . . it very probably is the largest piece of rubber
I’ve ever encountered!!!

In fact it just felt so impressive wherever I touched and caressed it . . .

And you know what they say about German engineering . . . well the earth certainly moved for me on that holiday . . . lots of times!!!

So I’d love for Curvaceous Dee to include this in her “Earth Moving Equipment” category at her wonderfully fun Scavenger Hunt Meme.

I mentioned in my last-minute Sinful Sunday post at the weekend, that we’d taken several “Christmas Lights” photographs in my few minutes standing in the cold outside the shop.

And . . . I’ve had so many nice emails since asking for more that I just couldn’t possibly refuse.

Especially as Curvaceous Dee has suggested they would qualify for her “Holiday Decorations (Public)” category at her wonderfully fun Scavenger Hunt Meme.

I hope you won’t mind them all being a bit similar, but it was a rather busy road so there wasn’t too much scope for alternative poses!

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy them . . . and I wish you all a Wonderful, Peaceful, Happy and Fun Christmas.

I’m not normally a fan of Jazz, nor of Graffiti . . . but both forms have a little bit of “Scavenger Hunting” about them don’t they?

So it seemed only appropriate, when I found this wall-graffiti, to stop for a Scavenger picture or two . . . after the car had passed by, of course!!!

It was on a street corner near the town centre of the lovely town we were staying at during our autumn vacation near Valencia.

The graffiti was actually really well done . . . and very interesting to look at.

I noticed that each car that passed was as interested in the detail as I was . . . as they all seemed to slow down to look at the wall as they drove by.

And I hope you will agree that it is worthy of a mention
at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt !!!

Even when we are away on holiday, I like to start my weekend with a brisk morning walk.

Especially when we find such a lovely location as this walkway during our Southern Hemisphere vacation earlier this year.

The locals had told us that this path led to a wonderful viewing-point of a really famous waterfall. So we set-off feeling relaxed and at-one with nature and the beautiful surroundings . . .

. . . only to have to quickly step-off the path and into the bush, a few hundred metres around this bend, at the sound of an approaching hiking-tour group coming from the opposite direction!

But once they had passed-by we were able to get to that Waterfall viewing-point
. . . perhaps I will share those views for my next post at the fantastically fun
Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt !!!

Whenever we travel out of London for a few days, I enjoy discovering the history of the towns and villages we find along the way.

And we are blessed with so many lovely towns out in the English countryside . . .

. . . and so many old buildings and ruins from long ago.

 Many of them are actually right in the middle of town, surrounded and yet untouched, by new buildings, shops and houses.

One such place is this lovely walled ruins nestled in the middle of a busy river-side town in Dorset.

I just love touching the stone walls and imagining all that they have seen and experienced over the hundreds of years of their existence.
It gives one a feeling of calm and peacefulness amongst the hustle and bustle of the new town just yards away.

And, it really is such a beautiful place, that I wanted to share it at
Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt !!!

It was so hot in Greece in August. Particularly on the steep walk up the hill from our apartment to the village shops . . . for our afternoon wine!!!

So hot and dry as we walked past the olive groves that I could see why there is often a Fire Hydrant installed on many of the roadsides.

And . . . as well as giving me a convenient rest-stop to hold on to and catch my breath halfway up that hill . . .

. . . I remembered, of course, that Fire Hydrant was a category  at the lovely Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt !!!

Oh, and p.s. It wasn’t just me who had to keep stopping to pause for breath in the afternoon heat. That gentleman walking up the hill behind me seemed to be stopping frequently and looking back over his shoulder!

I’ve previously mentioned how frustrating it can be >Waiting for a Bus< on a busy Friday evening out in London.

But, of course, there are other options available in journeying to the next bar . . . such as one of the many bike-hire racks located around the central city streets.

Sometimes there may not be many bikes available . . . so one may have to use a little personal charm to get the last available bicycle.

And, although I “ride” often . . . I’m not the most proficient of cyclists, so a little help in mounting the saddle is always welcome.

“Ooohh, that’s very distracting! I might lose my balance!” . . .

“Now you are just being very naughty . . . and you’ve even got me facing in the wrong direction!!!”“You know what? I’ve just cycled to the next rack and I realise I didn’t have a helmet . . . that’s not very safe at all is it!”

“You must always have a helmet and I’m not getting on again until you give me one . . . a proper cycling-helmet, I mean!!!”

I now realise this was a very naughty evening because one should never mount two-on-a-bike like this and I would always recommend having a helmet. But I couldn’t resist sharing my naughtiness for the Bicycle Rack Category at Curvaceous Dee’s Scavenger Hunt.
