Saturday Morning Walk

As the title suggest this is another walk post with, you guessed it, more images from around Lancaster. I went a little further this time and so the walk covered a lot more to photograph including many canal bridges.

Anyway I went down Lancaster Canal towards Carnforth, got off the canal at Hest Bank, walked down to sunny Bare and from their to the Shrimp roundabout where I joined the riverside path to walk back into Lancaster City Centre.

Enjoy the photos:

Another Bloody Walk

At some point we will all get tired of this… Well I won’t but I will stop posting pictures as I will be covering the same walk… Okay to be brutally honest I will unlikely stop posting pictures as well.

This walk was across Ryelands Park, over Carlisle Bridge, along the river to the wetlands, up the lane to Aldcliffe and the canal, along the canal and then back into the City via Ashton Road to the Shadowcat Offices on White Cross

Pictures below.

Out Walking (Again)

Another day, another hours (which ended up as 90 mins due to a DETOUR) trek around Lancaster.

This time I trudged up the hill to Wliamson Park, down to the canal and detoured round the revitalised Fairfield Gardens and Nature Reserve before passing the castle and down the hill back home.

Some pictures below:

Out Walking

I came back to live in Lancaster in 2006 eventhough I could have chosen to live almost anywhere. I have been asked why Lancaster and not somewhere like Manchester or London and the answer has always been the views.

In the current pandemic crisis that has become even more true. Where else could I live in a city with access to art, culture, shopping and travel and still be within 20 minutes walk of the countryside?

Anyway here’s some pictures from today’s walk.

365 Photos

Between the 20th August 2018 and the 19th August 2019 I undertook a 365 day challenge. My task (and the rules I set myself) was:

  • Publish a photo on each day;
  • The photo need not be taken that day;
  • The photo should mean something to that day;
  • It would be published on my personal blog;
  • I could only use my phone to take or edit any images;
  • They would be my images or own work.

It was a fun task. I like taking photos, I take a lot of them. I also am a semi-pro photographer with a number of different cameras and lenses that I don’t use as much anymore as 3 young children kind of kills habits and hobbies that cannot be contained by short evening periods or when children are present.

These are all the images in one gallery. Enjoy.

HOLY HEAVY METAL BATMAN

The new Lego mini figures are themed and set to coincide with the animated Batman Movie. As always I picked up a couple for a look and the first one I got was the Rock Batman. Couldn’t be happier:) 

Custom Converse Sneakers

11 March 2014

I recently ordered some custom Converse sneakers (Plimsolls to us Brits), some indy-Chucks, from the Converse website and last night they arrived.

I wanna go squeee and cover you all in my squeedom love. They are Batman designs with Batman on one shoe and Harley Quinn on the other, purple laces with green inner for one, yellow laces with red inner on the other, grey stripe on white rubber with a custom ‘mdk’ on the spine of the shoe.

They are freaking ace and I am wary of wearing them too much, except, ace shoes of acedom. Pictures below.
