Day 13:
Okay, not really moody but I was a bit inspired by Alfred Hitchcock for today's self portrait. I probably should have stuck with suspense or some type of creepy feel but my floor is messy :P Too many magazines and art supplies around.
I get to go back to school and work tomorrow so I'm quite happy about it :)
Cheers!
Don't hesitate to contact me! I love meeting new people!
Moody Street. A conservation area. It was painted nice bright colours to cheer the people up. By law residents have to own brightly coloured cars (Black, grey, silver forbidden).Now it's gorgeous georgian town houses are a most desirable place to live.
Congleton is a flourishing and attractive market town with a population of around 28,000. The town benefits from excellent communication links. The M6 motorway is just 10 minutes away and the railway station has hourly services to Manchester and to Stoke. By train, travellers can be in London in less than two hours. Three main airports, Manchester International, Liverpool John Lennon and East Midlands are all within an hour's drive.
It is a town with ambition, an entrepreneurial spirit and a huge community heart. Congleton is a Fair Trade town (awarded in 2007 and is also the first ArcAngel protected town (2009). The town holds the Guinness World Record for the largest Maypole Dance (2008). It is working towards becoming a Transition Town and has an active group developing initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of the town. Another group is working on introducing more events and marketing the town as Congleton Beartown 'where friends are made' and local people are key to the success of the town.
The local landscape is dominated by a distinctive, 300m high outcrop known as .The Cloud.. This can be seen from most parts of the town. Formed of Millstone Grit, this dramatic large hill was extensively quarried over many years to make grindstones and provide dark red stone for houses and pavements. The Cloud forms the outline for the Congleton Partnership logo and is used in local branding.
The River Dane winds its way through the centre of the town creating an outstanding wildlife corridor. It is one of the fastest rising rivers in the country. A visit to the river is a must for visitors who will admire not only the old textile mills along its banks but also the historic green-flagged Congleton Park with its ecologically important Town Wood.
Congleton and Macclesfield Canal runs around the eastern side of the town. It is regarded
by narrow boat enthusiasts as the 'gentle highway' and is well used by energetic walkers
who can follow its towpath to Macclesfield in the north or the Potteries in the south.
The Town benefits from many listed buildings and two conservation areas. Many of the
buildings are Georgian, such as the town houses of Moody Street, but there are also earlier
examples such as the Lion and Swan and the Kings Arms both from the 17th Century.
One of the most striking features of the town is its mills, most of which have been converted
to commercial premises; Riverside, on Mountbatten Way, is now the home of a number of
companies including the Enterprise Centre and Learning Centre.
Each summer Congleton looks forward to a superb floral display. School children and youth
organisations are involved in planting baskets and tubs and their efforts have reaped many
awards. The Community Gardens in Lawton Street is a green oasis in the town centre, well
used by local office workers. Here visitors will also see a bronze statue of Sgt George
Eardley, a local hero who was awarded a Victoria Cross for his bravery, during a battle at
Overloon, Holland on October 16th 1944, Congleton Paddling Pool, open late May-
September, is a fantastic free attraction for young children.
Each Christmas the town looks forward to a visit from Father Christmas to switch on the
impressive Christmas lights. Many shops have small, lit Christmas trees above their doors
and the Town Council and Congleton Community Projects host community events. Carnival
comes to town every other year, with the next one in July 2012.
Perhaps Congleton.s best asset is its people, who have a reputation for being friendly, warm
and caring. This is evident in the colossal number of voluntary groups and organisations
which give today.s town a real buzz.
Business in Congleton
Congleton has a strong business infrastructure and a resilient economy. The town has the
support of the local Chamber of Commerce, a fledgling enterprise centre and an associated
learning centre.
Congleton has an estimated 900 VAT registered businesses and a considerable number of
developing micro businesses. Whilst the traditional manufacturing areas of textile and
engineering have been affected by globalisation, the town still has a significant
manufacturing base, with employment in this section well above the national average. In recent years there has been a shift to the finance and professional, tourism and retail sectors. The town is a net exporter of labour.
The Town Centre Plan is a blueprint of how residents and businesses wish to see the town centre develop. It is transformational but retains the Town.s strong heritage. It includes proposals for a modern retail centre and new health complex. A Town Centre Manager was introduced in 2008 and there is an active Traders Forum. A wider Regeneration Strategy "Congleton in Transition" was adopted in 2009 through which the Town Council is lobbying for more new modern employment sites capable of attracting the high value businesses, necessary to increase wage earnings in the town nearer to the Cheshire average; looking to assist the retention of indigenous business; identify and support micro businesses and improve sustainability through becoming a transition town. Congleton is a great place to do business : a town on the up.
Late spring day at Moody Lake, Old Sambro Road, Harrietsfield, Nova Scotia - May 29, 2015.
Camera: Olympus E620 and 14-43 kit lens
Camera settings: 14mm 1/20 f16 ISO 100
I used Blender to create a fake fog. The effect was created with simple gaussian blur coupled with some high pass filters.
I came across this girl at MCM London Comic Con 2015. She doesn't look too happy even though it's almost Halloween and time for trick or treat.
This photo was from an interesting night. I underestimated how long it would take me to get from my motel in Lee Vining down to the South Tufas so I arrived right after an amazing sunset had just finished. A little dejected, I decided to take some pictures anyway and hope for the best.
The lake did not disappoint! I got a few really nice long exposure shots with great color and cloud movement. And then the storm hit. Light rain, then wind, then heavy rain and OH MY GOD THE HAIL IT HURTS MAKE IT STOP! So me and a couple other photographers that had stuck around after sunset started making a quick exit back to our cars, and that's when the lightning started. It's a little disconcerting seeing a huge bolt crash about a mile away from where you're at. You, and two other guys. All holding tripods. Which would probably make really nice lightning rods. Like I said, interesting night.
