Just trying a bit of ‘arty’ photography back in 2012. Not done this Daily Post for a while
photo challenge
Weekly Photo Challenge – Local
Search for Bramham on the Internet and is will usually tell you that it is in North Yorkshire. Well it did the last time I ran a search. It is actually on the border of West and North Yorkshire. But it’s where we call home.
And the view from our window (sometimes)

No Weekly Photo Challenge this week …
This is going to be a short one! The WPC this week is “Fun”. I struggle with this. What is ‘Fun’? What’s fun for you, and you, and you and even you is quite likely the opposite of what I would call fun. I fact, sitting here on a Saturday night, I can’t recall anything I do that I could call “Fun”. There are many things that I enjoy (typing this is something I like to do) but as for ‘Fun’ …
What is Fun? I had a look round a couple of dictionaries, and most entries seem to have the word ‘amusing’ as part of the definition. On that count, I suppose watching my collection of Tony Hancock DVD’s (I still want to call them videos …. so sad) would count as being ‘Fun’ and although they are great to watch … Fun?
I have, for a long time believed (how difficult is it to spell that word!) that I may qualify to have the title “Grumpy Old Man”. After this post, there is no question!

Weekly Photo Challenge – Narrow
These were taken on the River Wharfe between Bolton Abbey and Burnsall. We were walking in the area just a couple of weeks before my heart valve operation. It was this trip that both K*** and me realised how bad I had got. It was hard work and only just over six miles each way!

Weekly Photo Challenge – Landscape
Weekly Photo Challenge – Time
There are three films that I can watch over and over again. There’s ‘Gone With The Wind’, ‘La Vie En Rose’ and my favourite of all ‘Brief Encounter’.
In 2014, me and my wife went away for a few days for our wedding anniversary. On one of the days we visited the village of Carnforth. More especially Carnforth railway station. This was the location for a number of scenes in Brief Encounter and it was a place I had always wanted to visit. The old station has been restored to it’s former glory and was a great trip back in time. These are few of the pictures from that visit.
An interesting twist to this is that the male lead in Brief Encounter was Trevor Howard, who was the brother of Leslie Howard who played Ashley Wilkes in Gone With The Wind!

It’s been a few weeks since I did the challenge, but this one seems quite straight forward. So here goes. All taken in and around the house.

Weekly Photo Challenge – # (Extra)Ordinary
Well! Certainly ‘Ordinary’ But ‘Extraordinary’?
All the photography books and articles I have read, attempt to explain how to avoid ‘Ordinary’. This makes a nice change.

Weekly Photo Challenge – #Happy Place
I was thinking of the ‘Happy Places‘ I like to go to in my head, but that didn’t seem practical at all, so here some physical places that make me happy :
Whitby – a place I simply love to be.
Then there is Durham, the land of the Prince Bishops:
And last but not least, Carnforth station. Location for one of the finest British classic films Brief Encounter :
