A couple of hours in March by the River Wharfe
Even though I have had my Covid first jab I still want to feel safe out and about. The river Wharfe near Burley in Wharfedale has plenty of space along the banks so this is where I went for a couple of hours yesterday. The header image is looking down river and shows that there…

River Wharfe, Little Egret and Curlew
On Tuesday 17 I decided to take the car out so that it didn’t fester in the garage. The parking brake came off with a bit of a clunk and the brakes sounded a bit rough for a few yards but the car seemed OK. I took my camera, with its long lens, with me…

Making and Breaking Triangles. Stainburn, Fitzwilliam, Barnsley and Baildon
This is another post that has come about because of taking my camera with me when making and breaking triangles in the game of Ingress. Thinking about photography also helps me decide where to go when looking at triangles. Stainburn Forest 14 Sept- part of this forest has been felled so some of it looks…
