Spring at Pensax in Worcester can be a magical place. There is a lot of agriculture here as can be seen with these fields. The sky clouds were a sheer bonus. Another oldie of 2013 Enjoy full screen.

All aboard this vintage steam train carriage for our trip from Bridgnorth to Bewdley on the SVR (Severn Valley Railway). I know –it’s not exactly a row of benches but it would have been, some years earlier. Enjoy full size and enjoy your week in safety.

As Britain celebrates our Queens Platinum Jubilee this weekend, I share memories of my visit to London in 2010. Here we have the famous Tower Bridge taken in the golden hour. Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel. See PiP and last photo for arched view. Enjoy.

Saddleworth church in Winter This is the Parish church of Saddleworth and is called St Chad. It is said that there has been a place of worship on this site since 1215 AD but this present church was built between 1830-1833. This photo, like its accompanying PiP was taken some time back but I can vouch that the scene remains exactly the same today. We had snow here too, some days ago but it is has gone again now. The smoke is rising from the local Inn, called, of course ‘The Church Inn’. Famous for its own unique beers and good fayre in an atmosphere of open log fires. HFF, Enjoy full screen and have a wonderful Christmas Weekend. More info: www.cofeinsaddleworth.org.uk/st-chad-saddleworth-parish-church

~~~ May the light of goodness shine in everybody’s eye and lens. ~~~ A blast from the past here but still worth seeing on this Christmas day. Taken just a thirty minute walk from my house. Have a Wonderful day.

A great memory for me here at a spot I loved to frequent some time back. This bridge led to a small fishing stand but when I was here last, even the bridge had disappeared. However the whole scene demonstrates again the beauty of our Earth and its diverse wildlife which is now in a lot of danger. Let’s hope that the New Year brings new hope against global warming and peace on Earth too. The Pip shows another from the same pond. It just remains for me to say HFF and enjoy the coming New Year

Once when I was feeling more energetic than I seem to be at the moment, I used to walk along the high ridge overlooking Dovestones dam. Up there are a few very interesting rocks and on top of one (Foxstone) we have a man-made cairn. Of course the late light on the rocks make this. A year later I was to revisit the same cairn almost on the same day, in winter snows. See PiP. Taken in 2012/2013 Enjoy full screen .
