Escalators
I thought I’d dig something older out of the pile today, so here’s a shot taken on a trip to liverpool in late 2016. I was with my wife, so it wasn’t a photography outing, and on those occasions I feel a little guilty about taking my time over shots, so a lot of them are taken on the fly and grabbed when I can, as was the case here. There’s undoubtedly a better shot to be had of this location, but I’m not too unhappy about this.

Hope you’re home soon
Our cat went missing last night after I inadvertently left the garden gate open. He’s old, deaf, and mostly blind so I’m pretty worried about him. Someone has been in touch to say they saw him last night and gave me the location, but there’s no sign of him there now and I don’t know where he is at present. I’m hoping he’s just laid low somewhere and that we’ll get him home safe soon – I leafleted all the houses in the area he was last seen. 😦
UPDATE: We’ve found him! My wife spotted him drinking puddle water in someone’s garden (on a street I wouldn’t have expected him to be). Very happy now. 🙂

Winter field
This was taken back in January on a walk where I wish I’d worn some Wellies – although the ground looks crisp and frozen, the snow was in melt and my feet were sinking up to the ankles in places.

Horse in a winter coat
Despite being March (and supposedly springtime) when this was taken, there were still falls of snow yet to come. A probable reason for this horse and it’s companions to be wearing coats.

Interesting things
I timed this shot just right to get the chaps face in the gap between the items, but I like the stuff on the table too, from the frog golf caddy in the frock coat (with red cap), the Leica slide projector, the skull-topped canes and all the rest.

Road Closed
Another photo from my walk around Neepsend the other Sunday. The area is a treasure-trove of little details – remnants of its industrial heritage.

Outside Santander
I spotted this chap waiting at the edge of the market square, stood in some warm light from the low-ish sun and with some nice shadows cast on the building from a nearby tree. Again, I’m really pleased with the colours from this film.

Broken symmetry
Another shot from the small pine plantation I found a few weeks back. No snow on the ground this time. I’d estimate the plantation is no more than 100m square.
