Calrec Audio, entrance

Monday 17th September 2012, 9.25am (day 389)

Calrec trees, 17/9/12

Was determined to hide at home today, as it’s the day the students get back; and had, in fact, the perfect plan – to spend hours having the first session for my new tattoo. But that had to be cancelled because the tattooist was ill. So I had suddenly to get creative in various ways, including with the daily picture. This was my best effort – the entrance to the car park of the factory below our house (you’ve seen it before). I kinda like it because for once, the spurts of flare on the image can mostly be disguised.

Nutclough woods

Saturday 8th September 2012, 3.15pm (day 380)

Nutclough woods, 8/9/12

A thoroughly glorious day, and a weekend too. The whole town was out enjoying it today. Plenty of other candidate photos today but this one serves to encapsulate the atmosphere. Do we forgive it the summer just gone, the ‘wettest for 100 years’ apparently? Well… let’s not go that far yet. If it stays sunny until mid-October, say, we might do.

The rain it raineth every day

Sunday 29th April 2012, 2.25pm (day 248)

More rain, 29/4/12

This was the view this afternoon through the skylight in my home office, at the top of the house. Enough of this bloody rain already. Really.

Silver birches in snow

Wednesday 28th March 2012, 9.55am (day 216)

Silver birches, 28/3/12

There’s got to be billions of these trees in Russia. They line all the roads out of the city of Moscow. They’re everywhere.

I know this is a similar theme to yesterday (and it’s taken from almost exactly the same spot) but I’m not doing much other than work on this visit: so little opportunity to get pictures of much other than the rather drab urban area around the Moscow School (Yugo-Zapadnya Metro station). As you can see, it was a bright, sunny day today, at least in the morning – but it’s still cold.

Flying south

Thursday 22nd December 2011, 11.35am (day 119)

Flying south, 22/12/11

I probably come across as someone who disagrees with the way Britain is currently being run – which I admit. But despite it all there are still a lot of things about this place that I really like. One of them is how, after days and days of cruddy weather, you can wake up one morning, even in midwinter, and be immersed in an utterly glorious day. Such a day was today. If we thought it would last, you might even say these birds had made the wrong decision. I suspect, however, they are more sensitive than I.

By the way, another good candidate for today can be seen on my Flickr site, unused because I thought there had been too many HB scenic views and this one was more unusual. I still like it though, both are good reminders of a spectacular morning.

Calder Holmes Park, Hebden Bridge

Wednesday 12th October 2011, 8.45am (day 48)

Rain in Calder Holmes Park, 12/10/11

The Indian Summer buggered off back to India at least a week ago and since then it’s barely stopped raining. Not much else worth adding here, except perhaps, ‘enough already’.
