I just like the lines of redness, sliding down the stairs until they spill out into the kid’s coat.

Fridge door decoration
Monday 25th April 2016, 1.10pm (day 1,705)
Another Monday spent at home working…. working… all work… all work and no play?
Dinner preparations
Monday 18th April 2016, 5.25pm (day 1,698)
Another one of those exciting Mondays working at home, where I need to crank up the creativity not only to take the photo but also to think of a pithy commentary. Which, today, I can’t. Happy Mondays.
Rock photos, Birmingham New Street station
Wednesday 6th April 2016, 9.10am (day 1,686)
Joe and I stayed in Birmingham last night. Our journey home in the morning was at a schedule relaxed enough to permit a proper look at this photography exhibition on the concourse of Birmingham New Street station, photos by Denis O’Regan of a gamut of rock icons from (seen here) the late David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Roger Daltrey and Spandau Ballet when the latter were still cool (surely Gary Kemp was never that young), and many more not depicted here. More railway stations should do this kind of thing if you ask me.
Oxenhope station waiting room
Friday 1st April 2016, 3.15pm (day 1,681)
The last train of the day (on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway) has gone already — we are waiting here for a bus, not a train, the weather was far too grim to wait outside. Joe’s face on this shot amuses me.
Kodak Brownie
Thursday 31st March 2016, 2.40pm (day 1,680)
The original Kodak Brownie camera dates from the early 20th century and was the first model of camera to really achieve mass market penetration. It popularised the notion of the ‘snapshot’, the idea that not all photography had to be high art or formal portraiture, that it could reflect everyday life (‘get that Kodak moment’). I happened to find this model B Brownie in our house today during the 2016 Easter Spring Clean. It isn’t worth anything — millions of these were produced — but it’s nice that somehow it’s still around, sitting happily on a shelf somewhere, being preserved.
King’s Cross station
Tuesday 22nd March 2016, 1.45pm (day 1,671)
Why do I keep taking photos of this building (see also here and here, to identify but two others)? Because I like it, it is fine architecture and great public space.
iPad breakfast
Monday 21st March 2016, 7.40am (day 1,670)
I’m sure this is a sign of the decay of Western civilisation or whatever, but hey, at least we’re all around the same table at the same time.
Early picture today — in fact, the earliest true morning picture since 5th August last year (in Tanzania).
Flower urinals
Sunday 20th March 2016, 11.15am (day 1,669)
With a determination not to repeat myself on this blog, if one had extended the timeline long enough into the future then I guess it was inevitable urinals would appear on here at some point. But with these being rather pretty ones, hey, here they are today. These are installed at a garden centre, if you’re wondering what the point is.
Rebuilding the Co-op
Saturday 12th March 2016, 11.05am (day 1,661)
The Co-operative supermarket in Hebden Bridge has been closed since the morning of 26th December when, like the rest of the town centre, it was submerged under six feet of water. You still can’t go in but I took this shot through the door. The rebuilding continues and apparently it will be fully open again by next weekend.
