Finally ventured out with my camera, after 4 weeks nursing a broken knuckle, to Daws Hall Nature Reserve and Gardens in Suffolk. Beautiful sunny, but cold, day. This scene just caught my eye with the sun shining through the trees, bushes and shrubs highlighting their colour, shape and form and casting wonderful shadows over the wet grass.
A Class 185 First TransPennine Express unit is seen heading towards Manchester Piccadilly, crossing over Stockport's famous viaduct.

It's magical when you witness a sunrise like this over the most beautiful harbour in the world.
This was taken from Dawes Point last Sunday morning. In case you were sleeping, this is what you missed...:-)
I hope you enjoy this image.

"Poof!" I just performed my vanishing act at a friends party. I think it was about 5am in the morning? I stood there and thought about walking home because I didn't live far; and after a few seconds I committed. I could hear the voices at the party fading in the distance and the clack of my footsteps echoing in the streets.
Most of my favourite photos occur at the strangest times. Mother natures studio lighting always blows me away and here, it duets with the local pier in a tango of purple and yellows. What an awesome night.

And here's why I usually shoot birds through my window: If I step outside they tend to fly away. ;)

Tyseley's Pannier's, Nos. L94 (7752) & 9600 drift past Daw Mill Colliery on 14th April 2012 while working Vintage Trains 'East Midlands Rambler' 1Z84 0755 Tyseley Warwick Road - Tyseley Warwick Road via Lichfield & Coalville. L94 (previously BR No,. 7752), was one of several Pannier Tanks purchased by London Transport from BR to haul engineering trains around their system, hence the livery carried today.

I had never seen a photo taken from here and just went on a bit of a gamble that I could get a nice shot. Unfortunately the Sun is a bit far round but apart from that I feel its a great location and will be returning for other workings in the future
If you're a bus operator, the phrase 'dead mileage' is one to bring a little cloud over the accountant's desk. For 'dead mileage' is the need, sometimes, for a bus (and its crew) to travel from the depot to its income-earning work. Not all services run past the depot door, so travel to and from the nearest point on the route is 'dead mileage' - costing diesel, wear and tear on the bus and staff wages, but not earning any fares.
So bus companies try to reduce dead mileage as much as they can. Manchester City Transport used to arrange for buses to travel 'in service' on a short working on a route that passed the garage and the remote service; others were lucky by having the garage right in the middle of the town such as in Stockport. But others including Bury, Rochdale and North Western used a convenient piece of spare ground in the town centre to park buses that were 'resting' between duties, saving a trip back to the depot.
This is Stockport Daw Bank, with a variety of buses on standby. North Western had an inspector based here and even, later on, a small mess room for crews. There's a variety of the company's buses here and the vehicles we can see, plus other evidence from the collection of photos of which this is part, implies a date of around 1968.
The building in the background now houses the excellent Stockport Hat Museum; and the ground on which the buses are standing became the town's bus station.
The North Western Road Car Company Ltd is long gone but you can still see North Western buses, restored and on display at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester. If you'd like to know more about the Museum of Transport and its collection of vintage buses, go to www.motgm.uk.
