A few tree portraits taken while on a walk around the Longshaw estate in the Peak District last week.

Mablethorpe Rock
I’m not sure when this shop first opened, but it’s been there as long as I remember, and I’ve taken more than one photograph of it over the years.
I don’t tend to buy or eat rock (maybe occasionally if it’s a fruity variant akin to a boiled sweet, rather than the pure sugar or peppermint stuff), and was amused on a recent trip to Skegness to see that the flavours available have evolved to include things like chicken tikka masala and other, perhaps non-too-appealing, varieties!
Anyway, I hope this place remains in business for a long time, it’d be sad for it not to be there.

Double selfie
Neither of these ‘selfies’ was the primary intention here, but I got them anyway. 🙂

At the edge of the world
Well, at the beach to be more specific. Three shots of small waves on Mablethorpe beach during an ebbing tide.

The departing storm
We had some pretty heavy showers recently (for the UK, at least – I’m not talking hurricane season here), and I took this from the bathroom window both because clouds are ace, but also because I’d received a red filter in the post that day and thought it would be a good shot to try it out with).

On Skegness Pier
I quite like this shot. A little slice of life on a gloomy seaside day.

Pennywise lives!

Where Hancock & Lant used to stand
The photos here are of the Hancock & Lant tower. Where it stands there used to be a furniture retailer of the aforementioned name – we bought a bed, or a wardrobe, or something from there once. They moved locations years ago though. I remember visiting a few times, and one of the most memorable things about the location was that it was accessed via a narrow alley bordered on one side by the River Don, and the building itself on the other. Outside the store there was a tiny area for customer parking. Thankfully, the alley formed a one-way system allowing vehicles to exit at the opposite end to where they came in (where the columns are in the fist photo below), so avoiding any road (alley) blocks, or cars falling through the railings and into the river below.
These are both shots taken with the 23-year expired roll of Kodak Tmax 100 I shot recently.
