Finishing a roll in Retford

As a direct follow-on from yesterday’s post, here are the remaining shots from the roll of Kodak Gold that I finished off during a walk through Retford.

The first two pictures show Trinity hospital, which has served as an alms house since the 17th century, although the current building was constructed between 1832-1834. It’s a beautiful looking place and one that I’ve admired whenever I drive past (usually on trips to Mablethorpe) but this is the first time I’ve taken the opportunity to photograph it.

The next picture is some grand looking house peeking up above a wall across the road from the hospital.

Then some new houses under construction…

A big tree that looked nice in the sunshine.

And finally, another attractive old building that now houses a barbershop and a beauty parlour.

The Best

I thought I’d post this shot today as it kinda got a preview in yesterday’s picture already. It’s another example of the sort of mundane scene that often draws my attention. The colours caught my eye on this day, with the soft warm tones of the building’s rendering against the blue of the morning sky. But it’s also details like the metal shine of the anti0vehicle posts in the foreground, the shadow of the tree against the building, the graffiti, and that big tangle of cables on the side wall.
