It's no longer hanging there but I can almost see it, sun bleached and worn but proudly guarding the road long before the steel gate came along.

An old stone gatepost at the entrance to a field opposite the office I work in, overlooking Stocksfield, towards County Durham in the distance.

The sky was just phenominal when I got to work yesterday morning, I was pleased to have a good camera with me for once.

Although taken at the smallest aperture possible with the lens I used, the sky was still blown out (well what did I expect, shooting in to the sun?). I corrected this and recovered the clouds with Lightrooms graduated filters.
