That's a great tree in 7, and the reflection in 9 is a stunner! They both look great in B&W too.

I love dong reflections. On a day like today there were no boats, wind or ducks to ripple the water.

Yesterday we took a small group of people to the War Museum at Salford Quays
from the Welfare for the Blind society on Bank Street Accrington.
They all agreed they had a most enjoyable day and one partially sighted man went up the tower with me. We were told that it was the first time a guide dog, or any dog, had been up the tower. You walk through a passage way 200 feet up with a mesh floor so you can see right back down and the dog seemed to enjoy the view.

I had installed a Braille embossing machine in the Blind Welfare Centre and one of the jobs I did was to type out a menu for the Black Horse Food Emporium and convert it to Braille. The photo is Peter Taylor handing it over to the manager.If

Nice collection, and good effort.

And that would be the sidewalk plow ... the big plows haven't been through yet.

I'm not all that much into photography ... got this one when I pushed the button by accident:o Maybe I should do that more often;)

Nice to see a bit of snow without having to feel the cold that comes with it.

Like the snow...but only in the pictures(if the weather fairy is listening...please keep on that side of the pond).
Great stuff Eric.

Then someone mentioned it, or maybe I saw it on TV....but it has been my aim to go and visit.
Yesterday my ambling took me down Brazenose Street, and the JRL is just across the road.
Now, my visit yesterday was really to take pictures. Nothing else, no shopping(even though I was at 'The Markets'). I couldn't resist going across the road and taking a peek inside.

I absolutely loved it, and could very easily have spent my whole afternoon in there. I took the pics to justify the visit(as if!).
I will be making a return visit sometime to satisfy my need to have a much better look.

I went there in August with my Aunt an uncle on a day out in Manchester -wonderful place -very interesting exhibits on display...
