I have wanted to try different kinds of light painting for a while now, especially spinning wire wool. I finally got the chance to photography this a few weeks thanks to Derrick and his spinning skills. We picked out a safe location and had a number of attempts before the spinning apparatus flew into the water unfortunately. This was one of my favorites from the attempts we made. You can see some more from this outing on my Facebook page.

Whizzing round the Poole Park cycle track
Did you learn to ride your bike in Poole Park? Or maybe you raced here? From its opening in 1892, the Poole Park track was the place to go for cycling in Poole. Thousands enjoyed the exhilarating track races.
Others came for fun family rides.
This track is one of the few Victorian park cycle tracks remaining: Just like today
cycling was very fashionable then. As soon as the Poole track opened, races became popular events.
'Encouraged by the frantic. Often there were 12,000 spectators.
The two main clubs were the Poole
Wheelers and Wesley Guild Cycling Club.
The Banten brothers were the local stars.
The family owned a bicycle shop and raced for Wesley Guild CC.
In the 1930s, Bill Harvell was the star rider.
He trained at Poole Park and won a Bronze Medal at the Olympic Games in 1932.
In 1933, he led the Poole Wheelers' team to victory at the National Team Pursuit Championship. Another champion was Marguerite Wilson from Bournemouth.
She became the first full-time female professional cyclist. At one point she held all 16 women's distance records.
In the 1970s and 80s, riders travelled quite a distance to compete here. It was one of the few places for mid-week racing.
Imagine racing here. The first track was gravel and cinder. In places it isn't much more than two metres wide. How did they avoid the benches and trees? Not to mention the water and spectators. Try to picture the spectacle of 30 fast and furious riders whizzing round the track.
Poole Wheelers are still an active club today, with regular rides for members of all abilities. Families also come to ride their bikes. Did you race or learn to ride your bike on the Poole Park track?

I was going to try and do a sycamore seed and a new sycamore seedling and then a big sycamore tree. But again with the cat bomb. Same ginger cat wanted to play with my finds. You have to love this chap but he is not the best photographers assistant. I gave up in the end and went off to find chickens.

Cycling chums enjoying a ride alongside the Union Canal. When I first moved to Edinburgh the towpath was a rutted, muddy, overgrown mess in many stretches, but in the early 2000s it was all restored as part of the millennial cycle link network.
You can now comfortable walk or cycle all the way from the end of the Union Canal in the middle of Edinburgh through to the centre of Glasgow (the Union Canal joins the Forth and Clyde Canal at Falkirk, using the magnificent Falkirk Wheel boat lift), so as well as sailing the canal you can bike and walk right across from Forth to Clyde.
This was taken at one of the porch of an abandoned house at Mistress Lane, Ipoh. Tricycles are a main source of transportation in the older days, used to move objects and sometimes people around.
Here's a shot of Mistress Lane :
