Another Whitby picture today (and another that I think might have worked better in black and white). This horse is cleearly used to being fed handfuls of grass by passers by and, while I stood beside the wall, it placed its head right next to mine and let out a big, damp snort in my ear.

Following my ankle injury a few weeks ago I’ve been itching to get out and make some fresh photographs, and yesterday I took a trip into town with my wife (I’m not attempting to drive myself just yet – the consultant at the hospital advised waiting four weeks, so that is what I’ll do). It wasn’t a long trip and I didn’t walk very far, but I still managed to shoot a roll of HP5+ through the Yashicamat. I’ve developed the photos today but not yet scanned them. It was nice to take some pictures and even the developing (which is not a task I tend to enjoy) was quite a pleasant experience.

My ankle held up well, which is reassuring. Hopefully I’ll be able to get out more in the coming weeks.
