Park steps and canal bridge number 16A

Saturday 28th September 2013, 2.30pm (day 765)

Park steps, 28/9/13

The bridge extends over the Rochdale Canal, and links Hebden Bridge town centre (to the right) with Calder Holmes Park. Today was another glorious day, how much longer can this summer last?

Canal contraption

Monday 22nd July 2013, 8.50am (day 697)

Canal contraption, 22/7/13

Too unusual not to use as today’s picture. I believe this contraption was put to use repairing the canal bank here in Hebden Bridge today.

By the way, am I the only one having ‘issues’ with WordPress – I mean, logging on, even making some blogs appear at all?

Breaking the ice

Breaking the ice, 17/1/13

Had intended to get a photo from Manchester today, encapsulating the fact that this was my last day there for at least 5 months – but here we are, this one was good so let’s run with it.

Nevertheless, have I mentioned that today was my last day in Manchester for at least 5 months? Thank you…

You’ve seen versions of this scene before. But no harm in showing it again.

Canal, early morning

Tuesday 24th April 2012, 6.40am (day 243)

Canal morning, 24/4/12

This is one of those photos that I could take almost any morning that I walk to the station, as this view just presents itself to anyone walking over the bridge that leads there. In a sense then it’s one of the ‘reserve’ photos that I have been saving for when there’s not much else to document. The weather is poor at the moment, the light flat; but there’s always the reflections to give some interest. And speculation as to what it’s actually like to live on one of these boats, which many people do.

Rochdale Canal scene

Wednesday 15th February 2012, 8.40am (day 174)

Rochdale canal, 15/2/12

Beautiful morning in Hebden Bridge today. Shame, then, that a few minutes after taking this photo I got on a train that took me to Manchester where I then spent all day sat in an office.
