Now though, I have turned into a photo monster, and a bit weird, although I might have been weird before, but now I have a reason.
Well mine only go back as far as 2007, though I have some prints before then. I think it's just that we've been on quite a few trips since then - only been able to afford it since we moved north and bought a cheaper house!

Wikipedia has the same picture - with rather better definition...

Well I'll have to be careful with my numbers today, since despite Gremlin's very generous allocation of two of his number to me yesterday, the two pictures I posted to help with the discussion on faces in the glass yesterday have both been removed. Hope it hasn't spoilt the discussion too much, but watch out you lot - the mods are about - sometimes!

The good news is that I received karma for one of the posts and that hasn't disappeared!

Could it be the ghost who removed it now you exposed it?

No chance, ghosts don't exist just in case you think I have lost the plot.

Went to the hosp in Lancaster for treatment on Tues and afterwards for a walk on the canal. Very dull and cold but stayed fine while I was out. Lots of pics, starting with some autumnal stuff and some more trees... There seems to be a lot of berries around at the moment - are we in for a hard winter?

1 Tree in the hospital grounds, not sure what but nice berries
2-4 Ivy is starting to flower just now
5&6 Cotoneaster growing round a railing
7 Think these trees are dying but putting on a good show of berries in the meantime
8 Rowan tree in the White Cross office complex
9 Tree on the canal side by the A6 bridge
10 Trees and bushes on both sides of the canal

Nice photos Susie, I can't tell one tree from another.

I used to deliver to Storey's at White Cross with chemicals in my tanker.
It's amazing anything grows there with all the stuff that was splashed about.

Perhaps that's why those trees in pic 7 are dying.

Is there anywhere you haven't delivered to in your time?:rolleyes:

Today in Pictures, Its about 50 years since I went to Cocker Lumb, and it will be another 50 before I do it again.

1. The stream where once I had an ice cream.
2. Disappointed I head for Pot House Lane, via the deepest mud I have ever glooped through, a look back first.
3. I arrive eventually at the waterfall above Jackhouse reservoir.
4. Due to the amount of water plummeting towards me I have to walk around a swollen feeder stream, thats the way across.
5. After a detour I arrive at the thundering waterfall.
6. Well it was just there, I had to take a snap.You get a lot for your money on this one, fungi, moss,a slug, droplets, a bit of a web, and a waterfall.
7. At the furthest point I snapped Pendle Hill.
8. I nearly missed these, they were no bigger than half a match.
9. Then the fungi monitor activated, it was three green and two red LED'S. So had to snap these on the way down.
10. At this point the fungi monitor went ballistic, it was three green, three red and a three cherries, I went a bit giddy at this point.

Nice ones Dave reminded me of when I was a kid. I think he last time I was at Cocker Lumb was about55years since. I was brought up in Green Haworth on Nigher Frier Hill Farm

Its not the place of my youth, all fenced off now, no corner house selling crisps, no area to sit by the stream, no place to lick the living daylights out of a lolly, I was challenged by a house owner for taking pictures, the only place I have been, He was pleasant enough when I explained my reason for the snaps, and directed me to the footpath to Pot House Lane.

It was certainly an adventure, I was wet, then dry, wet again, then dry etc etc, I was slurping through ankle deep mud and "stuff", but in a strange way , yes, a good day out.

More from your roving reporter by the canal in Lancaster on Tuesday.

1 Hogweed seedhead
2 Raindrops on a Mahonia leaf
3 Mahonia bush from below
4 There was this tree stump...
5 ... with spider's web...
6 ... and an old fungus...
7 ... and another which was so hard I thought it was stone...
8 ... and a hollow in the top...
9 ... and a lolly stick to complete the picture
10 Not cobbles - the wall at the side of the canal, holding up the hospital grounds

Devon and Cornwall but I did go in my car.

The last ten years were the best, I didn't go any where South of the Manchester Ship Canal. Scottish air is much nicer than Cockney smog.

You know Susie. That is why I stopped to take that with my phone. I wish I had my 14MP camera with me for that one. It was one of those days where the clouds are stuck firmly in one place. Almost feels like they had been drawn onto the sky

Know what you mean Rob. Get them often here. But then - when you turn round to get the camera and turn back - they've moved! Great shot anyway.

Still on the Lancaster canal, bridges and other odds and ends today.

1 Footbridge over the canal basin to the pub! You can see the reflection of the hospital chimney better than you can see the chimney itself
2 Reflection of the footbridge
3 Underside of the footbridge
4 Lamp on the end of the footbridge
5 Benches and tree from under the A6 bridge
6 Long view from under the A6 bridge
7 Looking away from the basin under the A6 bridge - a bit out of focus, but I like the shot!
8 Lovely old bridge at the far end of the basin
9 Not the railway station, then...
10 Mooring ring under the footbridge

Showing us that ice cream is a little bit like torture, and should be against the law.

Today in Pictures, waterfalls of Warmden Clough.

1. As we set off through Broad Oak Works we found a small weir.
2. Walking through the Clough halfway up we arrived here.
3. It was a slippery climb down to get there.
4. Moving further up we found this.
5. This was the next stop on the way up.
6. we walk a bit further up.
7. The houses here butt up to Warmden Water.
8. Just before we emerge on Warmden Avenue I notice this very small fungus.
9. We emerge at Warmden Avenue and go straight back in on a different path, and found these in sight of Grafton Avenue.
10. We changed Clough, Warmden for Priestly, I took this fungi before, but didn't like the shot, so went back to re-do it. This is in sight of the old Highams Factory. It reminds me of Daffy Duck.

A few more things spotted on the canal at Lancaster

1 Wouldn't be the canal without some ducks
2 Out of focus, tried to sharpen it up, not wonderful, just love the composition and the ducks sailing past the pub tables
3 Prepared for all transport eventualities
4 The boat in no 3 seen from the bridge, with a grass roof used for storage
5 Another boat with bikes
6 Got to keep warm in winter
7 Not as impressive as the ones at Ossy, but we're doing our bit
8&9 These girls said they were going to be out for four hours. Hope it didn't rain!

Today in Pictures, will I get wet?

1. They are preparing to start up the sausage knotting machine ready for sausage dancing Friday.
2. The birds should have a good autumn of food, ready for winter.
3. It looks like I could get wet, I've only got a teeshirt and flip flops on, no pants, just a teeshirt and flip flops.
4.They said it was open plan when I rented it for the weekend.
5. Lets have a look whats through the square window.
6. It could be the Serengeti.
7. I think we should up the pace a bit.
8. Almost home, it only seems 5 minutes since these trees were bursting buds to start the year.
9. The colours of Autumn.
10. More Autumn colours.


There we are back home, and didn't get wet.........did get a police caution though. Apparently it illegal to wear one red and one blue flip flop...Ood a thowt it.

No. 1 they are the frame ends for a 10 colour printing machine, looks like one from Steiners circa 1900, one of the printing roller mounts is missing on the left.
Lang Bridges made several different Colour printers for Steiners

Wondered why it was a bit on the small side for a colour printer,
the ones Langs made for Steiners were for printing on cloth & were much bigger.
Don't remember Broadleys being one of Lang Bridges customers.

But have it your own way, I would just like to see it knotting sausages

The first one? It's my favourite too - not a posed model just someone who was there by chance as I passed by! Really captures the feeling of the place...:)

Number 2, just look at all those picnic tables, and not a person in sight, in fact all the pictures have very few people in them and such a nice place to walk around.

Well it was a bloody awful day Dave, even the ducks weren't hanging around, but we've been there when it's been standing room only - and you're right, it is a lovely place to walk around. I'm only glad I get the chance every week or two, it really cheers me up.

Today in Pictures, A walk on the wet side, or roaming the Ribble randomly.

1. Parking at Hurst Green we head down Lambing Lane.
2. I couldn't pass this smörgåsbord of fungal possibilities.
3. Apparently this bridge sways when you walk on it, its Dinkley Bridge.
4. It did, and this is the flowing Ribble from the other side of the bridge.
5. The Ribble is up to the bank top, and could get higher.
6. I couldnt pass this one either.
7. I kissed it, and nothing happened, well apart from slime and warts on my lips, and a feeling I had a frog in my throat.
8. This was as far as we went along the bank.
9. Mighty puddles from little droplets grow.
10. I'm not the only one taking snaps.

With the persistent rain it will get worse, there was a roar to the water as it passed under the bridge, a bit intimidating really.

There were logs and things whizzing passed at a fair lick, and I even saw three ducks sat in the flow go whizzing past, it was a bit surreal.

Yes that is a great shot of the common frog - here are a few I took, in a tiny pond in a local community garden;

This pond is about 5 - 6 metres square. Why don't you get some frog spawn from a bigger pond and put it into your pond - that might work!:confused:

Does the pond have any vegetation, plenty of mud and other life forms for food? If not you need to develop that. Also have some wood pile near by with long grass - as frogs go in places like that in the winter. :)

Oh yes got all that just no frogs! This is in a town garden but same thing happened when we lived in the country, literally in a cottage in the middle of a field. I dug the pond myself, nice muddy bottom, plenty of plants, logs round the edge, lots of grass, but no frogs. Plenty of them in the garden but none in the pond, they must have been breeding elsewhere.

Must be me, frogs just don't like me - I'll never find a handsome prince!

You could write to Springwatch or Autumnwatch as it's called at this time of the year- perhaps Chris Packham may be able to tell you why the frogs don't go for your garden pond!

Don't tell me when you get some frogs your going to kiss them all just in case? :)

I made a little pond in our garden a long time ago and managed to get a bucket of frog spawn from one of the fishing ponds on the farm.
I took a few photos but they turned out awful but one has a frog on it, there were a few hedgehogs who cam for supper every night. My wife used to put food out for them.

Just used to give them some dried dog biscuits which we had for the guide dog puppies. We also put a bowl of water down for them.
They came very evening. It was very quiet and you could hear them crunching the biscuits so we knew they had arrived.

Today in Pictures, due to the deluge nothing much to present today.

1. On the canal there are plenty of these.
2. This was right on the edge, one slip and its breast stroke.
3. Followers of this thread will remember this location when it was awash with Himalayan Balsam flowers, now its like me, its all gone to seed, with a dew drop.

Sorry can't oblige with closeups at the moment but will bear that in mind.

The other day when you posted that pic of Bob by the waterfall I said it reminded me of a trip we made in Norway. Have just dug out a few photos from there.

We went on the Flam railway, very touristy, 20km-long train ride on one of the world's steepest railway lines on normal gauge. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost 80% of the line, i.e. a gradient of one in eighteen. It links the village of Flam at the top of a fjord with the main line to Bergen up in the mountains. We just went for the ride, there and back again.
  1. We're heading for the village at the end of this fjord
  2. The railway station in the village
  3. The train stops for a photo opportunity at this waterfall...
  4. And a maiden comes to serenade you...
  5. And another...
  6. The train guards looked as though they might be more at home in Communist Russia
  7. Road with hairpin bends following a stream and waterfall. The train is heading up to the flat bit in the top centre
  8. View looking down from a bridge. You can see a tunnel mouth right in the centre of the picture
  9. View heading back down the valley towards Flam
  10. Flam church

Today in Pictures, a burst of activity before shopping, I usually go Wednesday,but this week has been all back to front.

1. Along the canal to the park.
2. Down Hygiene.
3. Round the park.
4. I went all giddy at this point, and dropped to my knees.
5. Out of the park at the Church end.
6. Grabbed a shot of this on the way past.
7. Up Checkers and spotted this, I must hunt out all of these, and post the collection, this will be a work in progress.
8. And after shopping this was over the back fence, unusual as these tend to pass me by.

Today in Pictures, shooting off at a tangent.

1. The quest begins, and its bigger than I thought.
2. Not really knowing where they all are, I set off for those I did know of. Civic Centre.
3. Barnes Street.
4. Mercer Park.
5. Well there's always one.
6. OK, two then.
7. Transport House (just in Altham)
8..Whalley Road. This was a worry to photograph, as it was right next to a front room window, so took two shots to be sure and carried on my way. A man came out of the house, and I thought he was going to chase me down the road for looking through his window. However he was very nice about it, explained a few things about the plaques and gave me a pamphlet explaining where they all were, and it contained short notes as to why they were there. There are in total 13 of the "Signs of Life"
9. Atlas Street.

That is my distraction for today the quest continues, eventually.

Don't know about atmospheric, but this shot I feel is rather evocative. Taken at RAF "Woodvale" Southport, the weekend of the Southport Air show, a Lancaster at dusk on a WW II airfield, at any moment you'd expect the aircrew to approach through the rising ground mist, contemplative, pensive but determined to do a necessary job.

Today in Pictures, its all uphill from here.

1. Starting at Hameldon Woods came across this, is it the start of alien?
2. Looking across Huncoat.
3. Still going up, the bit between Hapton Quarry, and Kings Highway.
4. Have photographed this before, but as we were going past.
5. Its probably as high as its going to get.
6. As we descend on Kings Highway, a hint of a rainbow.
7. After a climb over a barbed wire fence ( we were slightly off piste ) we entered Hameldon Woods again.
8. Found another stream, I think this feeds across to Castle Clough.
9. A totem of fungal infection, you can get cream for it nowadays,
10. Last photo of fungi, just before we emerged back into civilisation.
