quota photo – Page 77

Everyone’s going somewhere…

Posted on September 4, 2012

And I’m going to a larney (that’s posh) restaurant for dinner, so I thought I’d slip a quick quota photo in between the lines here.

This was taken on the Pier Head in Liverpool while we were away in July. The place was a hive of activity with everyone seemingly having somewhere to go, something to do, save for the introspective girl looking over the Mersey.

I like the juxtaposition of the awkward but focussed gent struggling with his large case, with a destination in sight and the woman whose mind is probably anywhere but where she actually is.

I could just be reading too much into a couple of people in a photo though.

Kristen’s birthday party today. We’re still recovering, so here’s a photo I took while we were away.

This was a sad moment – leaving the Isle of Man. Here’s the view from the ferry.
And now, having repaired most of the damage to the house, I’m off to bed.

Headstone

Posted on July 17, 2012

Not a post about what I want on my grave when I die (although maybe that is a good topic for future ramblings). No, this is a quota photo from the amazing Headstone Tunnel in Derbyshire. Built in 1863 and now part of the Monsal Trail, the tunnel is 533 yards (487 m) in length. It seems like a rather weird thing to go for a walk through a dark (shock), dank and rather damp tunnel, but it’s also a different experience.
The Eastern end is rather uninspiring, but the Western end opens out onto the spectacular Headstone Viaduct [wikipedia pic], which is far more “Traditional Derbyshire Dales Walk”-esque.
Should you ever unexpectedly find yourself on the viaduct, then you may like to know that there is an ice cream van and two pubs on the hill above. It’s worth the walk up, especially for the pubs.

I had intended to blog more than a quota photo today, but then I had intended to do a lot of stuff today that I didn’t do. This one, just because it’s “kinda arty” is hosted at 500px (which I still don’t really understand) and has already garnered one comment, describing it as “nice”.

Thanks for that.

I’ll try and get this and the remainder of the Heading North 2012 photos uploaded onto the more user-friendly Flickr tomorrow, but then again, as I mentioned, I had intended to do that today. And I didn’t.

It was actually sunny today, so we went out and now I’m knackered.

Thus, please accept a recent pic as today’s post. And no promise that there will be anything better tomorrow. I’m on holiday, FFS!!

“Home”

Posted on July 9, 2012

I’m back…

A quick trip across the Irish Sea and I’m back where I grew up – Sheffield. The Royal Liver Building above, isn’t in Sheffield, but I did see it earlier and I did take a photo of it, above.
