What I'd call a 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge which had the very interesting theme of repeating patterns or items . Taken once again at Sam Turner's yard in Northallerton, but this time I have no idea what it was other than it was made from plastic and there were huge piles of it coiled up. The shot doesn't give an idea of scale, but I'd say each hose would have been about 6 inches in diameter. They just appealed to me and I thought they'd make for an interesting abstract. A big thank you to TimC and also Roger Dodger for confirming that this is indeed a land drainage pipe. Also for Sight and Sound from Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds ...

For all my friends on ipernity that understand such things, HFF to one and all, to everyone else I wish you a pleasant and enjoyable weekend. Apparently, the IMA are poised to publish an update ... let's hope that what they have to say is positive and that it encourages people to step back from the edge and stick with ipernity, at least for a little while longer until we can see more clearly what the future holds for this great site. Oh, and in case you're wondering this little fellow and his mates guard the upper level of Darlington's multi-storey car park ... to stop anyone from trying to jump!

This was a 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge for which the theme was, as some of you might remember, metal . This was one of the shots I took from outside the fence at Allerton Steel, of Northallerton, which led to me being asked by staff what exactly I was up to.

For this week's Sunday Challenge for which the theme was metal . This was taken in the yard of Allerton Steel of Northallerton, who are specialists in structural and mechanical fabrication and was a shot I didn't think I would get given that the yard has a high fence all around it. However, my efforts at getting some shots through the fence led to two men coming out to ask what I was doing ... oh how I wish I had a pound for every time I've been asked that! Anyway, once I explained they seemed convinced I was harmless and agreed to me getting inside the yard to take some more photos for the challenge. Also for Sight and Sound . And with today's news that Walter Becker, co-founder and guitarist for the US band Steely Dan, has died aged 67, how about said band with "Reelin' in the Years" from 1973 - enjoy: youtu.be/wntRrR1TnOE youtu.be/ea3Bofkmwlc

For this week's Sunday Challenge , for which the theme was metal . This is one of two metal 'bikes' attached onto the fence that surrounds the car park for The Royal George in Morton-on-Swale, North Yorkshire, which is a small village a few miles from Northallerton. I'm guessing they were put up to show support for the Tour de Yorkshire. Not real bikes, although from a distance you might think they were!
