Walk to Work 3: In 3D

(Well it was in 3D for me as I was there).

Once again I had my camera in my bag and once again the walk to work was worth photographing as there was a layer of snow on the ground and snow in the air. This being Lancaster of course it was only a dusting, but it is rare enough to see snow in November in Lancaster that it is worthwhile taking and showing the snaps.

Snow on the cars on the street where I live

Just liked the angle

(Sorry for the captions, they are a tad ordinary, maybe even lame.)

Walk to Work 2: The Sequel

(with title dues to Getty for his admiration of IT people’s blogs and their stunning vagaries of content and announcement).

So, today it was another clear morning, and it was also cool and frosty (there have been some small frosts in the past couple of weeks but not as widespread as this mornings), and since I once again had my camera with me I decided to take photos once more. I walked the faster way to work today so no pictures of the canal, just the River Lune.

My apologies for the rather boring and obvious captions ;).

Walk to work

Okay it is a pretty boring title, but it does explain the post rather well, so there we have it.

I took a long walk to work this morning, well longish, instead of walking through the city centre, I took a walk along the river to the aquaduct where I joined the canal that runs along the back of Lancaster and right past the offices. The walk is about 5km and is quiet and on a great autumnal day like today it is a refreshing way to clear the cobwebs out of the synapses and contremplate the tasks of the week.

I took a few photos, the best of which are below for your pleasure.

The bridge near to the Golf Course

I liked the reflection

There were a lot of birds sunning themselves

Entering the area with former industrial buildings

Loved the angles in this bridge, I will have to revisit this and take more photos

The Roman Catholic Cathedral and ducks on the canal

This next one is Southport Beach in Conneticut, also taken in March 2007 about 4 days after the Ulverston image – looks like the same storm/cold front hit both sides of the Atlantic doesn't it.

Okay one month later and 12 degrees centigrade higher this next image was taken in April (actually about a fortnight later) both are in Lancaster (UK).
