The treetops

Friday 16th January 2026, 9.40am (day 5,258)

Treetop houses, 16/1/26

The ‘treetop’ houses on Heptonstall Road have featured before, I am sure, but forgive me if I don’t dig out the hyperlink right now. But once again, you were getting something that could be seen from my place. At least, after today, my marking duties are over for a while.

Gathering of blue and red lights

Wednesday 14th January 2026, 5.40pm (day 5,256)

Police van, 14/1/26

Another day with a photo that will fail to enter the world’s, or even my own, stock of Great Pictures, but it’ll be like this for a while, I’m afraid. It’s always a little worrying to come home and find an ambulance and police van parked outside the house, but whatever had been going on, it wasn’t at our place. These little moments of incident take place behind walls, and we see the outcome but never discover their origin.

The barista is packing up

Sunday 14th December 2025, 5.20pm (day 5,225)

Buzzi barasta, 14/12/25

This one’s all about the lines for me. It’s not about much else, and as I post this on Monday morning no pithy or witty commentary comes to mind, so let’s just post it….

Friday market

Friday 12th December 2025, 3.15pm (day 5,223)

Market stall, 12/12/25

One day in the future, possibly not that far away, I may need to make a choice of walking stick, but at least I now know where on the Friday market they are to be found. I like the various lines on this one but it’s not the most exciting shot, I know — then again it’s not been the most exciting week.

Frosty morning

Friday 21st November 2025, 8.15am (day 5,202)

Frosty rooves, 21/11/25

The chilly snap continues: cold enough to make leaving the house an unappealing prospect, anyway, at least until later. My daily patterns are definitely shifting away from mornings: this is the earliest shot since 2nd August in fact, and that was taken in special circumstances (like, we were already on a moving ship). If I’m no longer a ‘morning person’ though, what have I become? ‘Couple of hours in the middle of the day person, as long as the sun’s out’ probably sums it up at this stage of life.

Bit o’ snow

Wednesday 19th November 2025, 2.40pm (day 5,200)

Definitely just a dusting — but, nevertheless, today was easily the coldest day of the winter so far. And I guess we must say winter has now arrived, at least, in West Yorkshire.

Memorial Gardens

Monday 17th November 2025, 12.55pm (day 5,198)

Memorial Gardens, 17/11/25

No significant commentary today, just a pastoral scene on a relatively pleasant day of weather, one where I was glad I was not sweating it out in Manchester or some other such office space. It’s getting chilly, though.

On the roof

Wednesday 12th November 2025, 10.45am (day 5,193)

On the roof, 12/11/25

This is not a time of the year when much seems to happen. Four years ago I was on St Helena in November but even then, 12/11/2021 was being spent in quarantine (and battling ants). There have been a couple of late November trips. But right now I’m just happy not to have been in Manchester today. Meanwhile, shot n+1 of ‘bloke(s) working on a roof’. With autumn leaves.

Rochdale Canal (stock shot)

Tuesday 4th November 2025, 10.00am (day 5,185)

Canal barge and ducks, 4/11/25

This is definitely a stock shot, but what the hell. The Rochdale Canal is definitely worth a regular viewing, particularly at the peak of autumn.

Misty morning, with bird

Monday 29th September 2025, 8.20am (day 5,149)

Misty house view plus bird, 29/9/25

As stated yesterday — a second shot from the same place: from yesterday’s shot, pan to the left, go up a ways and pull back out and this comes in view. Not always with the mist, though there’s usually a bird around somewhere.
