Narrow street (and post holiday thoughts)

Today was my first day back at work after a week’s holiday in Spain. I did have yesterday as a buffer between the travel and the resumption of working life, which I’m thankful for, but I’ve felt pretty tired all day. I thought holidays were supposed to leave you feeling refreshed?

Thankfully, my usual post holiday blues didn’t last very long, perhaps because we were only away for a week, or maybe because I’m growing out of that particular sadness as I get older. I’m glad about that too – it used to affect me pretty badly when I was younger and leave me feeling a profound sense of loss for several days after a trip. This time, however, it only took a couple of hours back at work to pretty much erase any sense I’d been on holiday at all! Still, I’ve a couple of rolls of film and some digital photos to remind me of the trip when I get them developed / processed. I’ll post some of those here, of course.

Another picture from my Lincoln trip today – there’s probably only one more shot that I’ll post from this roll of 135 Agfa APX 100 – but I do have a bunch of colour medium format pictures still to come…

Timelessness

This picture was taken half way up Steep Hill in Lincoln. I really like the timeless feel it evokes. Maybe the cyclist’s helmet gives it away but, apart from that and the lone cable (and possibly the bike, whose evolution I’m not familiar enough with to say how it might date the image), it feels like it could have been taken any time in the last century.

Water tower and streetlamp

You may have noticed, but I’ve been posting a bunch of pre-scheduled stuff for the last week because I was on holiday. I’m back now and will resume the usual manual posting from tomorrow (although I guess this counts too). For anyone who’s commented on my posts and I haven’t replied yet, I will seek to do so soon.

I bet you’re bored of this water tower by now (even though it’s quite a photogenic subject, I think)… 🙂
