Pigeons on the Old Bridge

Wednesday 11th November 2015, 11.05am (day 1,539)

Pigeons on bridge, 11/11/15

I feel these guys are lining up, ready to attack me a la Hitchcock. But they posed well enough for a photo this morning.

Muscovy duck, cleaning

Sunday 8th November 2015, 2.50pm (day 1,536)

Duck cleaning, 8/11/15

I am sure the Muscovy duck gets as much pleasure from a good solid self-probing like this as we do a good shower. I know this picture could be sharper but this was a long zoom on a very gloomy day. A decent, stress-free weekend, but not at all a sunny one: we are heading for deepest November, the dullest period of the whole year.

Marco’s

Saturday 7th November 2015, 11.30am (day 1,535)

Marco's, 7/11/15

One of Hebden Bridge’s better cafés. I like this shot for the colours and how it encapsulates a much-needed day of relaxation for me.

Nutclough, Bonfire Night

Thursday 5th November 2015, 7.05pm (day 1,533)

Nutclough, Bonfire Night, 5/11/15

Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. (Said V.)

Health Centre car park

Monday 2nd November 2015, 8.20am (day 1,530)

Health centre car park, 2/11/15

After the gorgeousness and gorgeosity (oh my brothers) of yesterday, today was one of the dullest days imaginable. Hence this shot. But I guess I quite like the graffiti, painted over rather unsuccessfully.

Dusk view from my house (too early!)

Tuesday 27th October 2015, 5.15pm (day 1,524)

HB dusk view, 27/10/15

A dull day today in every sense. Damp grey weather in Hebden Bridge and I spent almost the whole day indoors, teaching online. So there was little to inspire the photography. This shot has little artistic merit I know, but I chose it to show how, now the clocks have gone back, it’s getting dark well early — and there’s much more darkness to come of course, before the year turns.

Treetop houses

Wednesday 14th October 2015, 11.00am (day 1,511)

Heptonstall Road, 14/10/15

Of course the houses aren’t really in the treetops. Or are they? This is Hebden Bridge…

Memorial Park, Hebden Bridge

Monday 12th October 2015, 3.55pm (day 1,509)

War memorial, 12/10/15

A well-lit moment this afternoon. I guess if I keep doing this long enough, and try not to repeat myself, there exists some theoretical point in the future at which the whole town of Hebden Bridge will have been documented.

Grim morning

Monday 5th October 2015, 8.55am (day 1,502)

Grim, 5/10/15

This photo may be dull and grey, but hey — that epitomises things, as this was as good as it got today. One of the rare ‘photowhacks’, the one and only picture taken on a given day.

Rain shower, Hebden Bridge station

Tuesday 22nd September 2015, 8.35am (day 1,489)

Rain shower, HB station, 22/9/15

A familiar scene, given added interest by the drizzle caught in the sun. Worth getting a little wet for. The 8:34 to York departs and my train to Manchester will be along in a few minutes.
