A young man befriends an old guy who’s sitting on the sidewalk while over the road a street performer sings and strums a guitar. As a counterpoint, two women, both dressed in white, provide framing and a sense of depth to the scene.

This is Manxman’s Lake, or simply, The Lake, and is an inlet on the eastern side of Kirkcudbright Bay. It gets its name from being the landing place of marauding raiders from the Isle of Man (which lies in the middle of the Irish Sea). Apparently on one raid they set the town of Kirkcudbright afire. The inhabitants of the Isle of Man are known as Manxmen, and these days maraud no more, earning their shilling by entertaining holiday makers.

The amazing group of Cambodian sites around Angkor Wat took me a week to explore and that was only scratching the surface. Here is a view taken at Ta Prohm, a renowned group that has been left as it was found, gradually being taken over by the jungle.
Fleet Bay in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland is designated a National Scenic Area but discussion is taking place about the possibility of the whole region becoming a National Park.
