  • Friends of Baildon Moor site hacked

    Nice friendly hackers have been at the Friends of Baildon Moor site again. The site was not working and was defaced but I found a few interesting things around. The footer PHP file had been modified with some interesting code that looked as though it was doing something with usernames and passwords and had a…

  • The last ones on the Trail

    All the sculptures are now on the Aire Sculpture Trail but not all painted yet. It was when I was getting the new photos of these that I saw the Long-tailed tit chicks that I have already blogged about. Cat Bath Dog Alpaca I have taken another shot of the Salt Pot Slug because my…

  • A Dog in a Dinghy!!

    Having posted photos of the Octopus a couple of times I have now been past the thing on Baildon Bridge and it turns out to be a Dog in a Dinghy.

  • The Octopus and the Iron

    You might have already seen my posting about the Octopus at Saltaire here. It is strange enough to see a green octopus on the bridge but why would a steam iron turn up?
