I saw this gentleman running up and down the steps of the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.... suffice to say that he was probably over 60 (I am not good at judging ages). There are 108 steps at the front of the cathedral - he ran up and down 6 times as I watched.....not sure if he continued! I found it amazing!
The station steps once leading to Steyning Station on the Steyning Line, part of the Shoreham to Horsham railway line (no longer in existence)
After taking this set of photos I went to the park and gardens to sit by the little formal pond, At the time I was the only there until a group of six loud teenagers turned up five girls and one boy, the boy was an oddity for as far as i could tell he wasn't seeing any of the girls neither was he openly GAY! Yes i know how very stereo typical of me but lets face it you seldom see one straight guy with a bunch of girls.
I sat watching and listening and still couldn't fathom the dynamics of the group with regards the lad. Who knows it doesn't really matter and maybe I was tad jealous hence my first thoughts.
I did have a funny thing happen at the priory while looking at a war memorial. About 80 yards or so away runs a little road with a few shops on its far side, the one closest is now a hairdressers and on the third floor I spied a girl having her done by the hairdresser and i could clearly hear them say while looking down at me "Is that a man" to this i gave a beaming smile and they quickly turned away.
I am amazed i could hear that comment from that distance as i am sure they were to lol.
Had bit of a day being read today not in a bad way all those who noticed me smiled knowingly at me in a positive way. the hair let me down today as did my toe that was rather painful due to the shoes being a little tight.
These steps leading up to the back of the Eye Catcher at the end of the Target Range were revealed earlier this year. Evidence in the hall's old records suggested they had been present at some time in the past.

An all nighter down at Porthcawl last weekend in an attempt to do an updated vlog .

Weather wasn't what we had hoped for, forecast was for lightning and big waves off a S/W wind. Unfortunately no lightning and the waves were diminishing on an outward tide.
So ended up capturing a less likely shot of this location, looking back into town with the steps down to the waters edge providing some nice leading lines at the beginning of blue hour.
We waited out for dawn and I hopped for some nice storm light on the calm side of the lighthouse but alas that didn't pan out, still I have some nice images but they lack any of the drama people have come to expect from this location.
Combined with a tide that was really on its way out by morning it proved to be a difficult adventure photographically.
However it's the first outing for me in a while so still really enjoyed the change of scene.

12/11/18 #2142. An unplanned visit to Porto airport, which was bathed in afternoon light. I had a few hours to kill before the BA flight to Gatwick. The flight itself was going fine until we were approaching Gatwick, when things got very bumpy, due to thunderstorms. At one point either the plane was struck or there was a bolt of lightning very close by. I saw it through closed eyelids. Perhaps the other alternative flight option - TAP direct to London City - would have been a better bet.

As a young boy one of my real pleasures and a memory which has stayed with me were visits to the joke shop that was to the right of this picture. An intriguing and mysterious emporium of masks and ghouls, hairy hand gloves, fake blood, hand buzzers, X ray specs, snappy chewing gum, fake boils and scars. Such places still exist and there is still an appeal for many especially with office parties around Halloween
Just playing to see what's working and what isn't with my 4 blocks so far...
