...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 3 minutes Somewhere I have been meaning to get to again for some time, is Middleton Railway. This little heritage line, tucked away in the arse-end-of-the-least-salubroious-area of Leeds is actually the oldest surviving railway in the world. Built as a horse drawn waggonway in 1758 to serve …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Inspired, in part, by The High Line in New York there has been discussions about creating similar on Holbeck Viaduct for some years now. So far this has sadly not come to anything, but on a smaller scale the Monk Bridge Viaduct development has started …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have again been doing less photography recently, and a lot of it has been using my phone. I never thought that I would say this, but it is very convenient and (other than not having an aperture priority setting) covers as much as my …
Reading Time: 2 minutes When we left for York to go to the markets the other weekend, it was incredibly misty and frosty, thurning the fields and industrial areas of South Leeds into ‘scapes of grey and white. I am kicking myself now for not taking a large number …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve been on a bit of a manic painting spree recently to learn and practice watercolour more. There’s been quite a few dead ends (and I may show some of these as posts about the development of what I hope to be better final images, …

Reading Time: 2 minutes l have been meaning to go and have a look at the Midland Road Depot for a while, but it has always seemed a bit out of the way for a special trip (Laziness, I know). But when my son had a Rugby day in …

Reading Time: 2 minutes Last night was first a 15-minute wait in the pissing rain… For a 3-mile journey on a number 19 bus… To a party in a house nobody knew… And probably shouldn’t go to anyway… …The bible in my pocket and a bottle in my hand… …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Just a very quick one. I just had to take this wonderful shot of these poppies growing up a wall by the bus stop. Inspiration can strike in the most random places in the city.
Reading Time: 4 minutes This is another little post to just report on and remind about the little things that you can do so close to your home. In Leeds we are very lucky to have lots of exciting pockets of beauty in the city, if you can find …
Reading Time: 2 minutes After a missing year due to Covid19 it was exciting to get out to light night. I took my 1000D and got a few shots. However I fairly soon went back to my phone as it was easier and actually compared to the over a …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve never been entirely sure how to name and efine this place that I come to so often. The name “Meanwood” stems from the Anglo-Saxon “Meene wude” meaning the Boundary Wood. They have taken the name Meanwoodside before and apprently now are properly called Meanwood …
