Stunning stage adaptation of The Railway Children at @worthvalley.bsky.social as part of the @bradford2025.co.uk year of culture. This is the scene where the rail disaster is averted. Brilliant immersive theatre in the round. A 10/10 performance. Fabulous afternoon.
Children’s Window reflected in the font and aspects of the cathedral reflected in the matching polished altar. Salisbury Cathedral. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekGforGlass
Spent a wonderful evening in the #Perth museum here in Bonnie #Scotland this evening, sampling whiskies from the #Macbeth collection - linked to a fab exhibition about Macbeth (the real person) and that of Shakespearean fame. Stunning - particularly the #Clyneslish, the #BenNevis & the #Laphroaig!

Spent today mooching up and down the @worthvalley.bsky.social KWVR heritage line, complete with a ploughman’s lunch version of afternoon tea in a Pullman carriage steaming to/fro. Wonderful day. That, and messing about with the art filters on my OM-5!

With @thecpc.ac.uk colleagues at the #BlackCountryLivingMuseum in the West Midland for our annual summer catch up. Always wonderful to see folk face to face.

Typical Victorians. No forward planning for the need of a 21st century photographer for symmetry. Funicular building not in line with pier building 🤣. Saltburn by the Sea, North Yorkshire.
Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire, on Saturday. Fine weather, and super Monk’s Pottage in the visitor centre cafe.
Inspired by @tracybphotos.bsky.social to revisit less recent photos, here’s a couple from 2022. Aspects of Rochdale bus station and Number One Riverside (council offices & library). Taken on my old Nikon DSLR before I discovered micro four thirds. #Architecture #Urban #ClassicMono
The Church of St Ann, Manchester City centre. Perfect Friday morning. #Photography #Urban #StreetPhotography #Architecture
My cousins have discovered an ancestral link to the founding father of the Cooperative movement, Robert Owen, through their father, not my blood relative. Duly dispatched to locate his statue (outside the Coop Bank, Manchester). No indication on/around the statue of why it is there or who he was.
Churchyard and towpath - on a jaunt into the village and back.
