Stroll 50 a

The 50th day of my Stroll was this week. I took the Trans Pennine Express train across to Manchester. Layla loves the train, and as we set off she has a special smile for the occasion. There is a secret section, known only to those who value the space, beyond the First Class part of the train.

 

Guest

Bit of a delay between posts. Busy time. Rowan came up for the weekend, always a pleasure. We all took the dog to Escrick where we can let her run free. Much running, chasing deer, rolling around: pure joy.

I believe Rowan was quite pleased to see Layla as well as us.

Another New Shot

And here is another shot that I am thinking of showing this year at York Open Studios. Not so sure about it.

 

New Shots

More cold mist meant I got another trip to Thorne Moors in, ahead of the spring curfew for dogs that begins on March 1st.

No sunshine, but the light was good. This shot I think I may show at York Open Studios. I shall get it, and others printed as small prints, then look at them all together and decide on which to go with. It is an exciting time of the year for me.

 

Surveying her Kingdom

Taken last week at the new forest, on a damp and misty day here in York.

After the Flood

A lot of rain these last few weeks; here is the resulting flood of the river Ouse as it runs through York. That is the medieval Hosptium building on the other side of the resultant lake.

 

Stroll 49 again

The Thurgoland tunnels on the old line to Penistone have been looked after by Barnsley Council and the one is use by the cycle track has got these great lights all the way through. It does mean that the whole thing has the feeling of being a portal to another dimension; I came out unscathed and in the same time zone. One end of the tunnel has LNER on it, (the pre British Rail company) and the other end has British Rail inscribed.
