Mitford Castle in Northumberland







One of the local pubs which was damaged by fire at the weekend. I drove past last night and spotted a bloke sitting inside clutching a pint, so either the damage wasn't too bad or he was desperate for a drink

Isn't that in Bensham?

I think it will. It's a bit of a dump, but always seems quite popular.

There was a guy outside when I first got there, but he didn't look like the sort who'd take kindly to having his photo taken, so I waited until he'd gone

Isn't that in Bensham?

Yep, on the corner of Rawling Road.

 

[Refused as fuck]

Fuck. I wondered where the fire was, I think it was Friday when it burned down.

 

[neonwilderness]

I remember seeing fire engines outside, but can't remember which day it was. I think the damage is mostly superficial as it seems to be back open now.

I'm really pleased with this portrait.

Yes, it's nice. You look smiley, but a bit jaundiced?

Ha ha. Pic came up bloody huge so thought bugger I'll sort it out and shove it up later.

I'm not jaundiced just overdosed on Tesco Banana Milkshake mix.

This I like very much - I love the two objects in opposite corners and the gulf of water between them.

Cheers.

And coming-up, a return visit to the disused catholic college I photographed the other month.


For the absolute very last time.

If you like disused catholic colleges, you should check out St Peters Seminary near Cardross, just a bit NW from Glasgow.

The a day out in rivelin.. which has to be no three in our top ten of places we walk talk share time with mother earth.

Rivelin Valley is a woodland valley in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The River Rivelin runs through the valley. Rivelin possesses many ponds, testament to the twenty mills which were once present on the river. Famous mills are the Hind Wheel and the Rivelin Corn Mill, the former dating from 1581 and the latter, 1600. The most well known, Mousehole Forge at Malin Bridge, produced the famous anvils. Some mills were in activity up until the 1950s.

As well as industrial heritage, the valley is home to much wildlife, now protected by the Rivelin Valley Conservation Group.

The upper part of the valley is flanked to the north by Rivelin Rocks

In April 1761, tablets dating from the Roman period were found in the Rivelin Valley south of Stannington, close to the likely course of the Templeborough to Brough-on-Noe road. In addition there have been finds dating from the Roman period on Walkley Bank Road, which leads onto the valley bottom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivelin_Valley

Been going through some silhouettes I've taken over the last 2 or 3 months:

Li River, Southern China. A nightly performance of +500 (?) odd local cormorant fishermen and traditional dancers, all done against a backdrop of bigger than life lit karst mountains. The "stage" (part of the river) is about 6 football pitches big and these people are bloody brilliant. Mostly done on little bamboo boats, but also some seriously high tech effects and mass choreography involved. Directed by the guy who will be directing the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games.

Taken with a 300mm zoom (hand held and bopping through heads in front of me), so pretty chuffed with it.

Chinese New Year

Inside the Forbidden City

And for the fun, one I took on Monday on a walkabout in Shanghai: She is definitely the Queen of Her castle!!
