Cutlery for sale

Wednesday 10th June 2015, 9.10am (day 1,385)

Cutlery, 10/6/15

Wednesday morning means the bric-a-brac market in Hebden Bridge. I stood by this ‘display’ (a pink storage box) long enough to get this single pic but at that point the stallholder, attracted by some logo I had on the random T-shirt I threw on that morning, started a conversation with me and I decided that if I took another one I would be expected to shell out on cutlery. We don’t need cutlery, so I moved on. I dunno, the thrills of a day working at home, huh.

Alan, and flowers

Tuesday 9th June 2015, 9.40am (day 1,384)

Turing flowers, 9/6/15

This is Alan Turing’s second ‘personal’ appearance on the blog (the other being here) not to mention that of the building named after him at university. Members of my family haven’t appeared as often. Then again, I probably walk past Turing more often.

June storm

Monday 8th June 2015, 5.15pm (day 1,383)

Summer storm, 8/6/15

Was up at 5am to go to London for the day to work, and did take a gratuitous shot of Hebden Bridge at that time mainly because I have still yet to offer a shot from the hour of 5:00 – 5:59 in my near four years of doing this blog. However, this one twelve hours later was a more creative effort. Taken from the train home, just south of Peterborough.

Handmade Parade 2015

Sunday 7th June 2015, 12.20pm (day 1,382)

Handmade parade, 7/6/15

You know the score by now I am sure, and in any case had a week’s advance notice of this year’s Handmade Parade in Hebden Bridge. The sun shone and a fine day was had by all.

Come and get it, boys

Saturday 6th June 2015, 3.05pm (day 1,381)

Pollen laden, 6/6/15

The pollen is definitely fruiting on this one, baby. Well, I guess that’s the point of summer, isn’t it.

Unsure of the species of this flower — a two-person search on various floral web sites has not turned up a definitive identification. Any botanists out there?

POSTSCRIPT: It appears to be a Geum ‘Queen of Orange’ — see http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/p-1543-geum-queen-of-orange.aspx

The 8:34 to York departs on time

Friday 5th June 2015, 8.35am (day 1,380)

8:34 to York, 5/6/15 A day in Manchester, a day too far in the week if you ask me. But it was a glorious morning at Hebden Bridge station today.

Putting up the fencing

Thursday 4th June 2015, 3.20pm (day 1,379)

Putting up fencing, 4/6/15

There must be some big student event going on this evening at Manchester because the south-western quadrant of the campus has become ringed by this security fencing. I like this picture because of not noticing at first the arms belong to two different people and the litter bins which look like some kind of waste disposal robots.

Enjoying a drink after work

Wednesday 3rd June 2015, 5.35pm (day 1,378)

Drink after work, 3/6/15

At least I had finished my work for the day by this point. Sometimes you just have to like the photo you got, while simultaneously wanting to apologise to the innocent model. There is still wine in the world, at least.

Tavistock Square

Tuesday 2nd June 2015, 3.35pm (day 1,377)

Tavistock Square, 2/6/15

This very pleasant square is where I am currently working when I am in London (well, on one of the buildings which border it, anyway). The statue is of Mahatma Gandhi and has been there since 1968. The other model was probably just passing through.

View from Leeds station, Monday morning

Monday 1st June 2015, 7.50am (day 1,376)

Leeds station, 1/6/19

Sometimes when doing this blog I take shots a few times before I use them. They’re not one-offs, I know where they are and that they’ll work if the light’s right, but each time I capture a version, something else comes along later in the day and usurps their place. This is an example. I pass through Leeds station often enough, and this abstract is actually a view from platform 14, looking south, through grating to the BT building behind. I must have taken something approaching this shot three or four times by now — but until now, not used it. Here it is today, however: which means I’ll have to find something else to grab in the future, when I’m on Leeds station on a morning and the light is right.
