Thursday 1st September 2016, 8.00pm (day 1,834)
September 2016’s first day was not an eventful one but it was perfectly decent — and ended very well.

Roof with a view
Wednesday 10th August 2016, 11.45am (day 1,812)
Not a bad morning for it, though there was rain later. This is never going to be a position you ever see me in, by the way.
By Hebden Water
Monday 1st August 2016, 5.00pm (day 1,803)
Back home, and from one of the world’s major historical waterways (the Tagus) to another (the Hebden Water) that is maybe not as significant, but still as photogenic in its own way. We could have done with better weather though — as has been true for two months — which may explain the expressions here.
Working outside (unlike me)
Thursday 14th July 2016, 10.45am (day 1,785)
I committed to spending the whole day in, working at home, and it turned out to be the nicest weather in some time. Ah well. This guy, at least, got to do some work outside today, up on the roof of the Nutclough Mill.
Bee on the allotment
Tuesday 12th July 2016, 4.25pm (day 1,783)
Some creatures, like birds, seem in my experience to not like having cameras shoved in their faces. But insects don’t generally mind. The problem with capturing them is that they don’t stay in one place for very long. My technique largely involves setting the shutter to continuous capture then hoping the auto-focus does the work. I like this shot, though — also because of the overdwellings captured in the background, very Hebden Bridge.
Warning signs

And you thought our putative withdrawal from the EU was the major problem facing us at the moment.
In the park
Tuesday 5th July 2016, 5.30pm (day 1,776)
Perhaps this shot would have been better with either one group or the other, but I like the split-screen nature of it with both. A nice evening in Hebden Bridge, much more amenable weather than in Manchester for most of the day, which is where I was.
Handmade Parade 2016
Sunday 26th June 2016, 12.30pm (day 1,767)
Hebden Bridge’s annual festival of creativity, the Handmade Parade, has featured on this blog every June since I started, and probably will continue to do so. It’s impossible to capture the whole experience in one shot, but I feel the need to show some happiness in the world this weekend, so here’s my choice.
Climbing tower
Saturday 25th June, 3.45pm (day 1,766)
This weekend, Hebden Bridge marks six months since the floods of 26th December. There are various festivals and events taking place over today and tomorrow (Sunday). In Calder Holmes Park today was a ‘Fair for Youth’ which seemed to involve a lot of people sitting on the grass watching a stage on which not much was happening; but this climbing tower seemed popular.
