The morning skies are getting darker. It won’t be long before my entire morning walk will take place at night. Every day, the length of the daylight or night changes by at least a couple of minutes per day. The light over the Haslar Marina had a strangle very delicate glow to it, quite unusual.Continue reading “92/365 An Erie Light”

I’ve been walking this route for almost four years now would you believe, 5 days a week for the most part. All year round, the exceptions are rain, holidays, illness, and over-sleeps. I’ve probably accumulated not far short of 20,000 pictures of the same subject. Well not really, the same area, but each picture isContinue reading “91/365 Blowing in the wind”

Ah! Right, so this is not quiete what I intended. No. 90/365 was going to be a celebration of the fact that I had reached No. 90. Then of course, not the doubts, but the wondering set in, should I celebrate at No. 90, or or as seems more likely at 100 – given thatContinue reading “90/365 Ooops”

One of my magazines turned up earlier this week, Country Walking. Like Black & White Photography, I like reading this publication cover to cover (almost). For me, it’s a combination of reading about people’s walking experiences, lovely pictures from all over the country and quite frequently, you pick up something of interest. This issue (413,Continue reading “89/365 Country Walking”

Reading the SoA has been held up a bit this week. With the arrival of the B&W Photography magazine, and Country Walking.

At the moment, we areContinue reading “88/365 The Story of Art”

A couple of years ago, I happened to pick up a walking magazine in the News Agents; Country Walking https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/country-walking-magazine It was probably about this time of year when they were starting to talk about their annual challenge of walking 1000 miles. To walk 1000 miles in a year, you have to walk an averageContinue reading “87/365 Walk 1000 Miles”

We caught the ferry over Ouistreheim, Caenand were booked in a hotel there. With the intention of exploring the Normandy coast for aContinue reading “We Will Remember Them”

I went for a walk into town this morning. I did have to go into a couple of shops, but the main thing was to get out. It was worth it, Being a lovely bright day. Slightly on the chilly side. But it was a real pleasure to get out. I was quite surprised thatContinue reading “86/365 Saturday Morning”

There’s a frustration when I arrive at the waterfront, and I find the conditions as they are in the picture. The cloud line is low, so there really isn’t that much drama. Even as the sun rises, there almost isn’t enough cloud to add much to the drama. Not only that, but as the sunriseContinue reading “85/365 Sunrise”

Two for the price of one today. I couldn’t make up my mind which one to use. There’s something about the Gosport ferry, and the blue seats bottom right which appeals to me. For the 2nd day, I arrived at the waterfront whilst a ferry was on it’s way in. The Mon St Michell wasContinue reading “84/365 Ferries”
