These photographs were taken on the beach in Boulmer (pronounced Boomer I believe) in Northumberland, and I just love the pictures (and the fact that the birds stood still long enough for me to catch them)

Hope you like them

This is a recent photograph I took of Asquith Bottom Mill, in Sowerby Bridge. The mill is now home to a number of small community groups/clubs, and the entire top floor is the home of The Cricket Asylum, which does an awful lot of cricket coaching for young and old, and a lot of local Halifax League use TCA’s excellent facilities for pre-season “nets”.

Our grandson does some coaching there, and I took this photo on a very rainy night, having driven him over to Sowerby from Littleborough, across the dark, rainy, mist covered Pennines. The mill lights caught the river, the River Ryburn, just right (for me). A short distance further on, the Ryburn joins the Calder, from which Calderdale takes its name.

Hope you like it

There may be a poem at some point in the near future.

these sunrise shots were taken very quickly, as the light and effect vanished soon after.

Pennine sunset reflecting on Blackstone Edge.

The pub is The White House, on the road to Ripponden, and I took the photo from our back garden
