Tuesday 6th November 2012, 7.55am (day 439)
Early in the day, more importantly, early in the year. Even if they are pretty… too early 😦
Being 42
Life, one day at a time
By the Mancunian Way
Monday 5th November 2012, 3.25pm (day 438)
This photo was taken right at the point where a slip road – that’s it behind the fence – curves off the busy A34 road and heads up to the even busier Mancunian Way (the city centre relief road). I’m stood right by a flyover that still bears the commemorative plaque awarded in 1968 by the ‘Concrete Society’ (no kidding) and in the background is one of the locality’s grimmer 1960s housing blocks.
All the same, it’s rather pretty at the moment isn’t it?
Hebden Bridge, Sunday afternoon
Sunday 4th November 2012, 3.40pm (day 437)
I suppose at one level this repeats the ‘fire’ theme which has characterised the other two photos of the weekend, but not in quite the same way. Here we are, the sun starts to set behind the valley walls at 3.40pm now: it is truly winter. Although by mid-December the sunset will have reached as far east as the mobile phone mast to the left.
Bonfire Night
Saturday 3rd November 2012, 7.00pm (day 436)
Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Or, the nearest available Saturday.
Burning down
Friday 2nd November 2012, 6.30pm (day 435)
Pictured in the Hole in the Wall pub, at the stub end of another week. Is it the end of term yet?
In the Christie Bistro
Thursday 1st November 2012, 1.30pm (day 434)
Haven’t been feeling very inspired lately but a few moments of good light in a grey day, a lot of cropping and going monochrome raise the interest here. This is one of the University’s more laid-back corners, a café located in what, about 100 years ago, was the main campus library.
Mother and son, Hallowe’en
Wednesday 31st October 2012, 7.15pm (day 433)
I don’t really do Hallowe’en myself, but others do, and it’s a good photo opportunity at least. Like, for this tender mother-and-son shot. Aren’t they cute.
Ink Landscape
Tuesday 30th October 2012, 12.55pm (day 432)
Tattoo, stage 2. It’s still not finished. It’ll be worth the pain, that’s what I keep telling myself.
Spooky castle, Nutclough
Monday 29th October 2012, 5.55pm (day 431)
Warming up for Hallowe’en, the old Nutclough Tavern in Hebden Bridge puts in a bid for ‘spooky castle’ status, unfazed by a stiff recent challenge from the Beyer building at the University.
Front door, Old Gate
Sunday 28th October 2012, 1.45pm (day 430)
Although duller and wetter than Friday and Saturday, today brought a very decent, and proper, weekend to an end, one I very much needed. Had gone through the last two blog posts without drawing any attention to how good the colours are in Hebden Bridge at the moment, so this is my attempt to make up for it. This is taken on the street of Old Gate.
