Macbeth, Ripley Castle, Yorkshire 2011


Our trip to watch Macbeth at Ripley Castle near Harrogate in North Yorkshire was met with mixed reviews and superbly dramatic weather.

Winter England 2010

Winter England 2010

Here we go people, the start of the 2010 Winter England. It’s the new camera and the Lumix. The snow has hit early in comparison to last year.

The Moon in Autumn

The Moon in Autumn

Try as I might, England in the Autumn, well. It’s a country with leaves falling off trees, and other things preparing themselves to sleep.

It’s not really like Mars in the Autumn I’d imagine.

Walking into Twyford Meads

A picture gallery from early 2010 of Twyford in Hampshire where I spent – I think – the years 1970 to 1979.

Sandal Castle

Sandal Castle

I knock Wakefield quite a lot, but armed with a new camera that I can’t afford given that I’ve realised that my tax and pension are all totally buggered up, it is possible to see some astonishing views.

I went up to Sandal Castle, which I last visited with my SortofExWife and Daughter, Marcus and Amanda in 1996 for fireworks and a general welcome to the world to Daughter who was one or two months old at the time.

This time I took me and I took the new camera that I can’t afford.

I pointed the camera and, as ever, messed with the settings in the way that lucky idiots do, and came up with these.

I hope you enjoy them.

This one will grow and grow. It’s a collection of views and textures that I’ve taken in the small world around me. Not being macro-curious, these slices of what I see say more about my life than anything I can write at the moment.

What You Looking At?Some lovely fit birds that I took photos of during a visit the Falconry Centre outside of Settle one Saturday morning. I had little else to do, so off I went. And here is the result.
