This is more of a story than a photo post, so for those of you who like the occasional read – read on! For those of you who like good photography, perhaps have a look at some earlier posts??! The “green hut” above dates from the 1920’s ex-army. It sits just outside the town centreContinue reading “A Moving (Picture) Story”

A couple of mornings ago I went out to get in the car and it was frosty, very frosty. It’s rare in these parts (Bournemouth, South-Coast UK) that we get a heavy frost and even rarer that we have the start of a hoar frost. So rare in fact that I’m not sure I’ve everContinue reading “A Frosty Start”

Towards the end of my holiday “up north” I visited the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port. It’s an interesting spot and an ideal one for such a museum. In the image above you can see the historic canal boat “Gifford” in the foreground, then, behind the picnic table you can see a jumble ofContinue reading “National Waterways Museum”

Chester Zoo is one of the largest in Britain. About once a year I treat myself to a visit to a zoo. These days it is a treat as the cost o entry is spiralling, but I fully realise that the cost of keeping them open and viable must be astronomic! I also have mixedContinue reading “Chester Zoo in B/W”

Dunham Massey Hall is a National Trust property just to the south-west of Manchester. It came into their care when the last Earl of Stamford died in 1976. I wouldn’t say that the outside has much to commend it – in fact I’d say it looked rather drab, but it’s an interesting place with aContinue reading “Dunham Massey Hall”

I finished off the roll of XP2 I was using, it only had a few exposures left. I loaded in one of my 20 year out of date, bulk loaded FP4’s and continued on. If you read the previous post, there’s not much more to say, other than here are a few more that caughtContinue reading “Last steps in Llandudno”

About 20 miles, half hour drive from St Asaph, is the seaside town of Llandudno. The town reminds me very much of my hometown of Weymouth. Late Victorian growth brought on by the coming of the railway. A few notables of history, in the case of Llandudno Sylvia Sleigh, born here in 1916. I hadContinue reading “A few shots of Llandudno”

During my holiday, having stayed just about 5 km from the Welsh border, I couldn’t not go! I set off and crossed the River Dee at “Queensferry” and then along the A55, otherwise known as the North Wales Expressway. My plan was to visit St Asaph, a brief visit to the seaside town of Llandudno,Continue reading “Into Wales with the Nikon F3”

Having made it into the Museum of Liverpool, dried off and got past the central stair case, it was time to pay attention to some of the displays. These sort of things I like to just wander and look more closely at things that catch my eye and interest me, and wander past things inContinue reading “Museum Work”
