Swan Pool and Leisure Centre

A hugely popular place in town!

Changing Views: Jan

I'm taking a page from Marley at Cheltenham Daily Photo and Dusty Lens at North Metro and Beyond.... I'm sure there are others doing this too... I'm going to attempt to remember to take a photo in this location during the second week of the month, every month! I love the idea of watching how this scene might change.

The photo is taken from the old Cattle Pens or Bullring as it's also known, looking down to the Old Gaol.



*edit* Ruby over at York Daily Photo has joined in as well!

January in England is a miserable month for photo taking!

Like many of my fellow Photo Bloggers here in England I'm struggling to stay inspired. The weather has been bitterly cold, today was the first day in over a week that it was above freezing, people are ice skating on lakes, ponds, rivers.. ice skating! unheard of! The sky is grey, and within minutes of leaving the house I'm ready to return and get that kettle on. I'm seriously lacking in fresh content but I will force myself out there, an ugly, bleak wintery photo is still a representation of this beautiful town held captive in a ugly, bleak winter.

This photo is taken from the "cattle pens" looking up the High Street past the Old Gaol and toward the Town Hall.
