Dog flap

Access flap for dogs in a dry stone wall on the Lyme Park Estate. If dogs are taking their humans out for a walk, the humans have to climb the ladder to go over the wall.

Bike in the bush
Takumar-A 28mm F2.8 prime lens.
Helen and Sophie won a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and this commemorative bicycle was placed in the hedge. It is still there in 2021, although the foliage has encroached.
My DNG was manipulated to de-saturate the green foliage and slightly enhance the colours on the bicycle. (SilkyPix software.)

Polite notice?
Takumar-A 28mm F2.8 prime lens.
(The term 'Polite Notice' is often used in unofficial noticeboards in the UK, mostly associated with 'no parking' requests. Perhaps it is hoped that people will mis-read it as 'Police Notice'.)
This sign here is intended to protect private fishing rights. Cheshire, UK.

The disc with indentations is a 'map' showing the position of mine shafts and mine workings in Poynton and Higher Poynton, relative to the Nelson Pit Visitor Centre. The last collieries here were closed in 1935.

DNG processed in camera using the "Retro" filter. This is the first time, in 11 years of Pentax DSLR photography, that I have processed in camera for publication.
