PhotoWalk

22-04-18

Met up with my PhotoWalk buddies on Friday, it was a lovely sunny day. So after a cup of coffee or two and a catch up we headed down to the canal area. I had my Sigma digital and 2 film cameras with me.

It was lovely to see the new spring growth.

We then moved onto the old canal industrial area to look at some street (canal) art.

Behind the factories

I always like looking behind the factories for some unintentional art.

The City Centre

Balloon Man (somewhere)

It was a great photowalk, with good company and weather.

It’s Arrived

Well spring has finally arrived in my part of the UK, even managed to get some gardening done today with a little help from Mimi & Fleur.

Signs Of Life

P.S Was having a snooze on the sofa yesterday afternoon when I was gently woken by a soft purring and a nuzzling around my ear, it was my black and white midnight cat visitor wanting some food and a fuss.

Arboretum

14-03-18

It almost felt like spring this morning so I thought I would take a walk to the Arboretum, it’s only just over a mile away but another place I haven’t visited for a long time. Took along a couple of film cameras with about 10 shots left on each, I’ll send the films off tomorrow and hopefully there will be some images worth sharing. Got talking to a nice old guy in his eighties who was a member of the local civic and historical societies. Managed to get a few camera phone images, my lovely little Sigma DP1 is on it’s way to Japan for repair.

I quite like the Black and White version too. 

There’s quite a long history to this place, which includes a mill, fishponds, and an old manor house, not to mention a POW camp.

Things are Happening in my Home town

It was a beautiful morning so up early and out for a walk.

There was a partial (very Partial) eclipse of the sun the light was very strange and ethereal, birds began the dawn chorus over again. I walked to the nearest park and people were setting up cameras and tripods.

Another event is taking place over the weekend in the town and surrounding county.

Here’s a clue.

And another.

It’s the reburial of the remains of King Richard 111 in the cathedral.

TV crews setting up and last minute preparations going on.

I carried on with the walk, there were a few doors I wanted to photograph, then on down to the canal.

Some early blossom was out, really felt like spring is in the air.

And a canal boat was on it’s way through the lock.

If it carries on like this I can feel a bicycle ride coming on.
