a perfectly proportioned house

one of my favourites in town... look at all the details at the door alone (you may want to click through and view large) the vertical letterbox, the bell pull, the centre door handle... I love it all!

the old railway bridge

Last used in December 1966, now a popular footpath.

the weir

I love this curve in the river, and the sound of the water rushing over the weir.

mill reflection

Continuing with the trend of late posting... this is Sundays photo :)

The Sun was blazing bright and while I loved how it lit up the red brick of the old mill I was sure this photo would be full of fail. Well for the most part I was right... but what I never saw in the original setting was how beautiful the reflection was. So focus our attention on the lower half of the photo please :)

continuing along the river

reflections of green

The nice thing about England in the Winter... for the most part everything is still so green!

City Daily Photo: Best photo of the year 2008

Today is the first of the month and that means "Theme Day"! To start off 2009 the theme for January is "Best of 2008". Since starting this photo blog I have "met" so many wonderful people, and explored, through photo, so many different corners of the world. I struggle sometimes to be inspired to take photos, to make the effort... but the support and feedback from everyone makes it all worthwhile.

So back to "Best of 2008"... I found it difficult to choose a photo as "best" because this is only my 4th month doing this... so heres a selection!

According to number of comments this is the best:


Number of flickr views? That would be this one:


personal best? I do love this one!:
