River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of August, 2016.
At the temporary access bridge, directly opposite the Rivervale apartment buildings, and adjacent to the bend in the river where the 'Debris trap' is being constructed.
This little montage features the resident Heron.
Quiet focused creature, and oblivious of nearby workers. Quite camera-sky. Takes to the wing every time I hove into view.

Watch out for this little fellow he's got some zing to his sting. You may have a reaction to his sting with itching, rash, welt or all three. When the're not curled up, they look like walking toothbrush's :-) This is a Tussock moth/caterpillar, or larvae stage.
Definitely the best film compact I have ever owned, and probably one of the best film compacts ever. Got mine from The Camera Workshop at Peninsula Plaza -- once I had it in my hands, it was clear just how well-built it was, and how well maintained it had been by its previous owner. A nice tight package with superb mechanical finishing.
Just got back my first roll of film from the developer, and I'm really impressed by the sharpness, colour rendition and exposure of the pics. The most annoying thing about this camera is the fact that you have to re-set the camera's flash settings every time you switch it on if you want to fire without the flash, but I found the flash really well implemented -- it seems to nail the exposure every time, and practically none of my shots suffered from that hard contrast look that typical on-body flashes give you.
Going thru some old archive photos I came upon a photo of a Max Occupancy sign at one of the exhibition halls at Chicago's McCormick Place. With all the talk of Social Distancing, it is good to remember what we have to look forward to when this is all said and done, and the next Auto Show comes in 2021
Boston, Lincolnshire, 27th December 2019. Pentax Espio camera and Kodak Pro Image 100ASA film.
Tracing old steps of past versions of me. Journeys to school and home again. The years of youth are like dog years when you get to adulthood.
Part of my journey home from junior school. There were many cars parked on the street and as a junior petrolhead I loved to check them out and look through the windows, especially at exotic variants like automatic gearboxes and electric windows.
Back in the early 80's CB radio was "a thing" and not far from here was a little shop called "The Breaker's 20" which sold CB radios and other stuff.
You could advertise your "handle" with a mock USA-style numberplate which displayed your on-air name. I saw a car driving around here one day with "Xanadu" and I always associate it now with this view in my nostalgic minds eye, though equally I remember an old MkIII Cortina where the driver had rearranged "Ford" to say "Dorf".
But for some reason I prefer "Xanadu".
I will be using this camera in week 369 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

The name says it all, This is trully a deluxe camera, very classical in design, but very high quality in terms of build and performance. Everything one needs to take high quality pictures is present: Fujinon lens, automatic parallax correction and a feature inherited from the V series, the focusing is done by means of a wheel, next to the viewfinder, very neat!
What a moment!
Two at the same time. One on my front, one on my back.

My Ballot Box was fit to bursting this year. Somehow we managed to squeeze 998 votes in their.
It made me smile that in the age of ipods and Twitter the running of our Country is determined by pieces of paper marked with a cross and pushed into a box. And yes, thats a special ballot paper compactor tool especially for the job.
You see, there are always entrepreneuring opportunities for those who can see them :)
Compact is a relative term; as dictionaries go, this is pretty big, but compared to the full-size Oxford English Dictionary it's pretty small. This is the whole of the twenty-volume OED in one volume. The paper is very thin and the type is tiny – so small that a magnifying glass comes in the slipcase.
