How very Hebden Bridge. Welcome to June.

Saturday DIY
Saturday 31st May 2014, 2.40pm (day 1,010)
Could have gone with another crappily lit and probably out-of-focus picture of the gig we went to tonight (third in a week), but enough of that theme. Here’s some angle grinding instead. At least one of the bands we saw tonight was less musical than this by the way.
String section
Friday 30th May 2014, 10.55pm (day 1,009)
Second gig in a week, and there’ll be another one tomorrow. Unlike last Sunday’s arena event this was in the more intimate surroundings of the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. And more mellow. Though not necessarily better.
Swan, cleaning itself
Thursday 29th May 2014, 2.25pm (day 1,008)
Oh, more waterfowl. Don’t care though — I’m very proud of this shot. The leg looks amazing. And if I had a neck that flexible I am sure that lots of opportunities would become available.
The Muscovy duck finds a companion
Wednesday 28th May 2014, 4.10pm (day 1,007)
It is over two years since this creature set up home in Hebden Bridge marina, first appearing on the blog in February 2012. As I have observed before, it is a long way from its natural home. I saw it standing outside the entrance to the tourist information office this afternoon, and thought at first that it was after food or something, but looking at this shot I wonder whether it might not just have been finding company in its reflection. This is the Muscovy duck’s fourth appearance on the blog (the remaining unlinked one is here) — few people have been on it as often.
A spot to read
Tuesday 27th May 2014, 2.50pm (day 1,006)
Well, one can read just about wherever one likes, so yes, that is a pint also close at hand. Seasoned Drew followers will probably recognise the location of this shot.
Challenge
Monday 26th May 2014, 1.20pm (day 1,005)
I was willing this kid across these stepping stones — and he did make it — but I was just hoping he’d not set out to conquer his fear until after I’d got the shot.
In the crowd — Nine Inch Nails, Manchester
Sunday 25th May 2014, 10.20pm (day 1,004)
Tough choice today! Felt moved to do a Flickr album for the first time in ages as I felt I had a few to choose from. In the end though I went with this one, of the crowd rather than the band, because I was trying for ages to capture this bloke with a good combination of arm position and lighting, and then when I did so, the focus is all wrong — but! It still works.
Oh and by the way. NIN rock.
Stallholder, Saturday market, Hebden Bridge
Saturday 24th May 2014, 11.15am (day 1,003)
Motivating myself to keep things going after 1,000 days is not helped by being on (for me) a reasonably long run of time just in Hebden Bridge and Manchester. From 16th May until 15th June this is basically where I am. Hard to find new scenes, but I don’t think this one has made it before — the entrance to the occasional Saturday craft fair (which has been pictured from inside in the past, but never from here).
Philosophy
Friday 23rd May 2014, 9.55am (day 1,002)
I mean, really. Did you have to cope with this kind of stuff before 10am this morning?
And bearing in mind this guy is German, a philosopher, with a brilliant mind — does he not (with all due respect) win the ‘walking cliché of the month’ award?
