A change to our planned schedule…
I was going to publish the second part of my West Stockwith to Misterton walk post today but I got waylaid on other important stuff (not playing Fallout 4, honest… 😉 ). I will endeavour to write it for tomorrow though.
It’s not been all videogames today though, most of the day was taken up by a trip to Bakewell with my wife as there was a food market on. Other than a couple of bratwurst’s for lunch, and some cakes from a shop, we didn’t actually buy that much food. My wife came home with a new coat though, and I bought a second-hand Ladybird book (one that I used to own as a child).
I took a handful of photos while there, although I’ll have to wait and see if any of them were worthwhile. One, at least, ought to be interesting.
So instead of photos from my second planned Walk With a Camera outing, here’s a picture of the closed post office in Eyam (which, to be fair on myself, I shot during the earlier hike I posted about here).

Hassocks
A couple of pictures of hand-made hassocks on the wooden pews within St. Martin’s church in Stoney Middleton.

St. Martin’s Church, Stoney Middleton
This church featured in the second part of my Eyam to Stoney Middleton hiking post a couple of days ago, the picture shot with my Olympus XA-3. The pictures today were taken with my Yashica Mat 124G.

Guitar
I Have a couple of longer posts to come about a walk I took with my camera, but I need to write them first. So, today, let’s have a dig into the archive for something that I haven’t posted here before (I hope!)
I quite like this shot, and I’m not sure why I haven’t shown it before. It’s not perfect – the framing could be better, and use of a polarising filter would have removed the reflections, but the guitar against the dark background is quite appealing, I think.

Raised manhole
There are a number of these raised manhole covers to be found on Woodhouse Washlands. They stand, like strange tumuli atop their mounds of grassy earth.
I expect they are raised to prevent them from flooding if the washland is submerged when the river is high as they probable provide access to sewage pipes – there is a sewage treatment works at the northern edge of the wetlands, just across the B6200 road that marks the boundary.

Washlands when wet
One of the interesting features about Woodhouse Washlands is how it can change noticeable when flooded. As it’s a floodplain (with a flood barrier at the northern end to boot), this is to be expected and, to be honest, it becomes somewhat challenging to navigate without getting wet and muddy in these circumstances. It does allow for different photographs to be found though. What were previously just grassy fields, now become ponds.

Handshake
What, at first glance, looks like a muddy obstacle when out for a walk, might also be seen as two figures shaking hands. On what, who knows? Giving me wet feet probably.

In between
The same subject as yesterday’s picture, just with a different composition. I prefer this one.
