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.

View from Old Town
Sunday 28th August 2016, 2.50pm (day 1,830)
Moody skies are the linking feature of this weekend’s shots. Is it autumn already? Taken from the beer garden of the Hare and Hounds pub, and looking generally westwards.
Rupture
Monday 22nd February 2016, 4.35pm (day 1,642)
With a whole day spent at home working online, it was left to the sky to entertain. This looks like a hole in the space-time continuum has opened up above the houses of Heptonstall Road. Or possibly just a break in the clouds near the setting sun.
The storm clears
Wednesday 18th November 2015, 3.40pm (day 1,546)
Clearing, yes — but it had still dumped plenty of rain on us before doing so, and it had siblings on the way. Come take some of our weather, please. We have lots to spare.
September sunset
Tuesday 1st September 2015, 8.00pm (day 1,468)
Allowing for the fact that the first one of all, August 2011, was depicted only partially, September 2015 will be the fiftieth calendar month of this blog. How many times in those fifty months has this view (or ones like it) saved an otherwise drab day?
Dusk over Hebden
Monday 18th May 2015, 8.15pm (day 1,362)
Having put myself about a bit over the last couple of weeks — this is only the fourth of May’s pictures to be taken in Hebden Bridge — I had a profoundly inactive day today, spent working at home. Lucky for you this dusk shot manifested itself this evening as you were this close to getting a picture of my feet. Be thankful for small mercies.
Cloud Man
Saturday 22nd March 2014, 5.20pm (day 940)
Maybe I’m the only one who can see, in this cloudscape, the figure of a kind of zooming, superhero Cloud Man, streaking across the sky with his blond hair flowing behind him in the wind. But as I can see it, that’s why I took the picture.
Late afternoon
Thursday 30th January 2014, 3.00pm (day 889)
I don’t claim that reality was quite as dramatic as this — I dropped the red filter on this one — but hell, who said digital photography had to always be about reality? I just massaged the raw ingredients, if you like. It’s something to pass the time while spending another day quarantined in the house. It seems I probably have German measles (rubella), by the way.
Above Sabden, Lancashire
Saturday 9th November 2013, 2.40pm (day 807)
Paid a visit to my family today who live over the other side of the Pennines. I am lucky that all my family members basically live in quite good-looking parts of the planet.
Brighton pier, Wednesday morning
Wednesday 9th October 2013, 9.15am (day 776)
Finished work last night too late to get home, but not too late to get down to Brighton and spend the night there rather than in the suburbs. And, well, sometimes you just have to say that you made the right choice.
