Bridge Street Housing Development Update

It looks like we have lift-off! After about a year of inactivity there are signs of movement at the building site in Bridge Street. Sarah mentioned this building site back in 2008.

Hello and thank you for all the kind thoughts and words about me "firing up" the daily photo blog! As often happens I assumed that by changing my employer I would in turn be able to change how I managed my time outside of work. Turns out I was very very wrong!

But hey ho... life goes on and the words of encouragement have motivated me to get back out there and shoot :)

To help me with this project, and to ensure that it continues on, is my friend Nico, a fellow Buckingham resident and a fantastic photographer.

Bridge Street

apologies to those reading through a rss feed reader... you were probably saying to yourself... wtf? To those of you who don't know what I'm on about a post destined for my personal blog landed here by mistake :)

back to our normally scheduled photo though;

lonely park

the Bridge Street play area... in the distance is "Coopers Wharf" luxury riverside flats.

I think this is the final skate park shot in this series... maybe

skate bake? or skate buks? the later makes more sense but it totally looks like the former. *shrug*

modern and not so modern

Any time I take a shot of something modern.. I try and sneak a little something old in there... like the spire of St Peter & Paul.

cold and wet... guess I wouldn't be skating either.

very deserted skate park...

I swear I've seen people here before!

I swear Buckingham is a lively place but soon as I head out with my camera the residents run for cover!

a closer look at the New Inn

I've lived in Buckingham for 4 and half years and I've never been into this pub!

Willen Hospice

The Willen Hospice and it's fantastic architecture and windows.
