I am honoured that everyone has stayed with the thread and contributed , I noticed when you pointed out the number of pages, that we have had 4501 replies and 123617 views. I don't know how that stacks up against other threads but I am pleased. So a pat on the back to all who posted, replied or viewed the thread.

Re: Today in pictures
 

If a thread is good, people do stick around simples.:)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks Dave, the "Today in pictures" and the photograph competitions have been a great help to me recently. It has got me out and about again and I am slowly, very slowly getting to grips with life again.

I hope that all the time and effort that you and the other people who have posted photos has been appreciated by other viewers.
Let's hope it continues to page 600 and onwards.

Who says the camera never lies.
The Pump House at Albert Dock.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I know the pain of recent months knocked you sideways, and I am glad the participation on the thread has helped. I too have found that the taking of snaps, and the dog walking are my distraction from life's problems.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I think it could also be one of the threads with the most "likes" too! I certainly like it a lot!! :hothothot

Re: Today in pictures
 

Some lovely photos there -the hotel looks very plush. Like DiG I also know Southport very well -we used to go for days out when I was little. A picnic in the park, a trip out on the boating lake and a game of mini-golf, it was heaven. As you say a bit more up-market than Blackpool - some lovely shops, especially on Lord Street -I remember one which sold hand-made chocolates which were heavenly. They also had a very nice Victorian Arcade but I think Accy's is better architecturally -just in need of some TLC!
Later when I was a student in L'pool Southport was a nice day out away from the city sometimes -just a quick train journey. It is still looking very well!

Re: Today in pictures
 

The rear door of the hotel faces the Arcade Dianne and was a short cut through to Lord Street.

Have just seen the original photo in the photo comp. - really good!

I was at the re-opening of the Albert Docks in 1984 -there was a great fireworks display. It's a fabulous area to visit -lots going on round there. Haven't been back to L'pool since I left in 1985...

Re: Today in pictures
 

That's a great selection of photos -really interesting! Have sent Karma as well as liking...:)

I went on one of the free trips The British Legion Hotel organises, they have their own small coach and about 15 of us went to Albert Dock and Liverpool Cathedral for the day.

The first three were taken through the coach window with a little Pansonic Lumix pocket camera.

The rest with my DSLR and they speak for them selves.

We went to Skipton today and I took what I thought were loads of good pics. When I got home to download them on my pc ,to my horror I had forgot to put my SD card back in my camera last night. Another Senior Momemt

Great photos Russell.
Is that Billy Fury in No 4?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes Frank, the statue is Billy Fury.
There were lots of people having their photos taken stood next to it, I had to wait a while to get the photo myself.

You not the only one with Senior Moments. I took my camera out for the day once and left the battery on charge back home.
The new Nikon I have has an grip which attaches so you can hold the camera and use the buttons to take portraits instead of landscapes. The grip has a battery in it as well and also a cartridge which you can slip in and that holds 6 AA batteries. You usually get the AA's anywhere if the other runs out of power.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Ain't that the truth! Whenever there's something worthwhile, you can guarantee there'll be hoards of bodies in the way. Oh & thanks for that Gremlin, nice to see my home town highlighted. :)

Did exactly the same on a romantic break in Edinburgh over New Year with my other half -was 1998 -first time we'd left the boys with my mum and gone off on our own! They were brilliant photos too! ;):D

Re: Today in pictures
 

No not on that camera

Re: Today in pictures
 

Oh well a lesson learnt then. I've done a similar thing with a battery, but found out when I tried the first snap.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It was 16 years since I last went to Liverpool but didn't have much time to look around, we were catching the ferry boat that took us to Manchester on the Ship Canal, a good day out and one I am planning to do later this year. It was £28 then, now it is £38 and you have to make your own way to the boat, a coach takes you back to where you started from. The boat stays overnight in Manchester and does the return trip the day after.
Before that it was during the 70's when I used to go along side the ships in the docks with a tanker to put the oil on board. I hardly recognised the dock road now and all the new buildings which have sprung up around the City, Liverpool One for example.
Gone is the old Sally Ann where I stayed overnight a few times.
Anyway a few more from Albert Dock and then tomorrow it's off to Liverpool Cathedral.
One last ice cream before I go.
Enjoy them.

No 6 is the old Granada TV Building isn't it?

WARNING .... GREMLIN PORN!!!! :D:D:D

by the way gremlin do you know about the bus gathering and transport collectors fair AND the vintage transport gathering 7-8 September at bury transport museum ... I was down on the east lancs railway today and picked up the leaflet .. oh and the autumn steam gala and vintage bus running day on the east lancs on 19 & 20 October ...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks for the Tiger photo shillelagh, it's a very unusual body, not one I have seen before but after trawling through my my many photographs I found one similar owned by Ribble. I wonder what the doors below the windscreen are for, the engine is under the floor so maybe it is an emergency exit, very strange. I will make enquiries.
I will probably go to the Bury Museum on the 7th or 8th September, I still have a few complimentary tickets from when June walked the guide dogs and I normally park at Rawtenstall and catch the train to Bury.
On the 4th August there is the Pennine run which usually attracts a lot of old lorries, cars and buses, one year there were over 80. They start at Birch services and go via Todmorden, Heben Bridge, Otley and finish at Harrogate.
The Sunday after The Long Haul Club, of which I am a member, will be hosting a gathering of about 30 old lorries at the Crofters on the A6 at Garstang.
Both events are free.

Re: Today in pictures
 

this is who it belongs to .. or well its painted behind ...:p if that's any help to you ....

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks for that shillelagh, K&R are the chaps who restore old vehicles using as much as the original as possible, even if it is not in the best of condition. They restored the Ribble Tiger recovery truck you saw at Fleetwood.
They are very enthusiastic about their work and will always have a chat about whatever vehicle they have brought to the shows.

I don't know who the original owner was but I have already emailed my friend who looks after the Leyland vehicle photo archives to see if he can shed any light on it.

Thanks again. Like given.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great photos -envy you the cooler weather and RAIN!!! Lovely droplets , moistness and clouds...

So hot here -peak of 42°C with 75% humidity today -was 31.5°C in the house with shutters closed and fans on -PHEW!

Spent the afternoon with my other half who was stung by a wasp on the farm while working - his face, lips and neck swelled up so he couldn't speak -scary -got him to A&E in time -they were fab, within minutes he'd had cortisone and was on a drip..they sent me home and kept him in under observation for 6 hours once stable -home now -sleeping and OK :)

Worn out and counting down the days till I'm in Lankyshire for my hols and some cool weather... :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Sorry to hear about hubbies mishap, you make summer over there sound a bit dangerous and uncomfortable.

The rain here is a bit persistent at the moment, but it is still warm, but in true lanky form last week I was wishing for a break in the warm weather, now we have it, I am hoping for a bit of sun soon.

Re: Today in pictures
 

todays ... down rawtenstall on the east lancs railway ... though the first one is my tomatoes in the back garden shows how much rain we had last nite .. yesterday the tray was empty .. today it was full ....

Re: Today in pictures
 

Uncomfortable is the word - we've been mid-30's with high humidity for well over a month - big problem is that the night-time temps don't drop much either -hard to sleep! I followed the heatwave thread on here and was thinking they should try the summers here! Last year was actually much worse -even hotter and for longer...

Cloudy this morning which is a relief -can feel a thunderstorm on it's way!:hothothot

Re: Today in pictures
 

We are never prepared for a warm spell here, it has been over 7 years since we had a decent period of warm weather, shops have sold out of fans.

Will look forward to some dramatic storm and cloud shots if it arrives.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The Leyland Tiger was bought new in 1951 by Jackson's of Castle Bromwich.
The doors at the front are for access to the spare wheel.
It spent some time with South Notts who painted it blue and later is spent many years in the service of The Royal British legion.

Now that is porn.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The last few snaps from my recent holiday at Southport, I hope I haven't bored you too much.
This time they are all taken in Liverpool Cathedral.

The last one was taken through my hotel bedroom window which I kept closed so the aircon would keep running.
It was taken with my little Panasonic Lumix and the odd thing about it is the dark sky.. Apart from a bit of cropping I never manipulate my photos, they are straight from the SD card but when I took the photo of the moon the sky was fairly light at 10PM and the moon didn't stand out as much. The camera has a 20 optical +20 digital zoom and was set on auto. Very odd.
The Nikon didn't produce the same results and I tried all sorts of different setting.

Re: Today in pictures
 

You do realize we've got 2 you know!;) All these are of the Proddy one, bit biased isn't it? :)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Sorry DiG, I would have liked to visit both Cathedrals but the coach driver only gave us one hour there and then it was off to the Dock.
If you look at the fifth picture in my second set taken at Albert Dock you will see I tried to get one of the Pope's Wigwam.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Aye, I noticed the top of Paddy's Wigwam when I was looking. :)

5. The area has become established.
6. A style no longer used.
7. A bit of the football pitches and a bit of the reserve.
8. Looks like Autumn is just around the corner.

Re: Today in pictures
 

That's much better than any of my attempts at catching the moon, I've tried and tried - just get a blurry blob. My camera is a humble Nikon Coolpix 4100 -it's about 10 years old.

Need an upgrade!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I used to have a bird's eye view on Paddy's wigwam -I lived in Mulberry Court during my lasy year in L'pool. It was on the corner of Hope street and just across from the cathedral. It has lovely modern stained glass inside - worth seeing. There was a nice (and cheap) café under the cathedral -all the local dropouts and tramps used to go there!

A couple of photos of me outside the cathedral on my Graduation day -one with my mum! I'm actually now a bit older than she was on the photo -scary!

Re: Today in pictures
 

My brother Robert "Zach" Taylor was at Liverpool Uni between 1968 and 73. He stayed very near the Proddy Cathederal and drunk in the pub at the bottom of the street, he told me he had never been inside the cathedral even though he passed it every day.

Somebody mentioned the floods in Todmorden, the photos below were sent to me during last years floods by my brother.
Both he and my sister luckily live on the hill side so they wasn't affected by the flood.

Re: Today in pictures
 

The street in 6 must have been names after previous flooding problems.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Saw some footage earlier on Sky news showing the flooding and damage in Tod -looked pretty bad -they were in Walsden.

My Aunt and Uncle used to be really high up when they lived in Style House - not sure exactly where they are now but I know they have a railway line which passes behind their garden - hidden behind some kind of embankment...

Re: Today in pictures
 

Good to hear your brother and sister have escaped the flooding in Todmorden Russell.

Here are a few photos of Paddy's wigwam taken in 2008. We baptised our new camper van by taking it all the way to Southport (!) on a small private site by the pier. Had a couple of days in Liverpool by train and saw the Tall Ships Race.

One of the pics shows the Anglican cathedral from the steps of the RC one. John Moores University were having a graduation ceremony there so we didn't see much of the inside of that one.

The RC cathedral was under construction I think when I was a student in Preston. I used to go to Liverpool occasionally with my flatmate for concerts at the Philharmonic hall then I had a boyfriend who was teaching there and I used to go and stay with him. He's not a teacher any more... http://www.billstott.co.uk/

Re: Today in pictures
 

I wish I had been able to see the Wigwam, I thought the trip was to visit both cathedrals and then Albert dock.

I can't think of anywhere apart from a small stretch of road through Walsden where the railway line get flooded Dianne so I would think your relation would be high and dry.
Almost all the track runs higher than the valley.
Photographs below are from the Todmorden History society and show Walsden station, the third one is a few hundred yards away and the lady nearest the left of the photo is my grandma.

Today in Pictures, A walk through the Millennium Baby Woodland.

1.Walking past the Petre Family vault, once a family of note, now mostly forgotten.
2.It doesn't seem that long since the field was planted, but time passes faster the older you get, and you walk slower, does that seem fair.
3. Looking out from the woodland toward Hapton Scouts.
4. This was the shiniest moth I have ever come across, the Burnished Brass Moth.
5. This year is a good year for the Small Skipper Butterfly, they are in most places I visit.
6. The woodland does not appear to get much traffic through, and as a result the wildlife abound, especially wickthings.
7. The Green-Veined White Butterfly.
8. The general direction of travel.
9. Out of the woods, a view of Pendle Hill, and more United Utilities fencing.
10. Back at the start point, Bell Lane end, I once told a lady where I had walked from and got the order of the words mixed up.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Last Saturday we went to Townend at Troutbeck near Ambleside, a National Trust property. It's a typical farmhouse which was owned and added to by a rather well to do family. There's a lot of carved wood in the house, both old and fairly modern (early C20) including a built in kitchen. Unfortunately there's no lighting in the house so taking photos was a bit difficult. There's a nice garden too which was easier to snap. We then went over the Kirkstone Pass towards Ullswater to round off our trip.

1. Wild flowers by the path to the house
2. Barn across the road
3. A bean tree
4. This is a living history property - hang out your washing
5. A holey hosta
6. Carved panel on a clock case
7. Very long table, built in situ in the house
8. Rush light holder
9. Bench to go with the long table
10. Lobelia through a diamond lattice window

More to follow

I never noticed any flowers after those bloomers, I had visions of gusset problems out in wet weather.

Today in Pictures, a walk up to Jamestone Quarry. (Grane Road)

1.Jamestone Quarry, alternating layers of sandstone and shale, ideal for quarrying.
2. In the distance , Musbury Heights another quarry site.
3. Obvious signs of habitation.
4. The quarry started life in the 18th century as a local quarry, when the railway arrived in 1846 the quarry expanded at a massive rate.
5. In 1870 the quarry employed 3000 men to cope with demand.
6. You are never far away from a turbine.
7. The stone from here was exported to India, the Far East and America through the ports of Liverpool and London.
8. I'm not going any higher, its putting my lamps out.
9. Another long gone way of life.
10. You looking at me!

I hope you were paying attention to all the facts, as I will be handing out homework sheets.

Re: Today in pictures

The water almost has a turquoise-green tinge to it -do you think that's because of the particular stone that was quarryed there?

9. Ditto

Re: Today in pictures
 

You've been about this week with some good shots

Re: Today in pictures
 

My thoughts were that it is the shale layers that descend down through the quarry and the gasses that they contain, I only know this due to the Fracking debate. You can see from the picture the sandstone layers almost impervious to the weather, but the shale layer slopes away due to it being easily eroded. If it's not that, it's summat else.

5. The wet bits are the footpath.
6. At this point you get to know just how absorbent walking socks are.
7. But still comfortable.
8. Bit of a footpath off to the left.
9. A last low shot, just to get the gusset involved. Where did the brick come from.
10. With that we are back on Terra Firma and off to the car.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I took a mate to Todmorden today to watch all the vintage vehicles come through on the Pennine run.
I won't bore you with the lorry photographs but I showed him around the canal bank near the town centre and these are the photos I took.
No. 2 Part of the Great wall of Todmorden built 1841.
No. 5 Just behind the sign is a gate, my aunty lived in the house there and had to have a lock put on, every time my little brother went there he somehow got out and fell in the cut.
No. 6 The hole in the great wall.
No. 7 That's how far it is to places.

No. 9 I though the horseman was worth a look at.
No. 10 The Triumph Roadster, I had a bronze one in 1962 but lack of brakes meant a trip to the knackers yard.

Now I have to sort through the 180 photos I took of the vintage vehicles and watermark some of them for another forum.

More Morris dancing pics. These are from last Frday at the Limeburners pub at Nether Kellett near Carnforth. John O Gaunt from Lancaster met up with a traveling team from the USA who were younger and very athletic - you know you're standing too close when you can feel the wind from their hankies, also a lot of my shots turned out blurred because the dancers were so athletic.

Anyway a selection of dances including Leapfrog and one reputedly very ancient three man one from Dolphinholme in Bowland which seems to involve lots of @ss kicking and dancing around on one leg.

Also a shot of the John O Gaunt musicians who aways look so miserable (NB Dianne Richard is wearing a different rather more decorative hat) and a couple of the US musicians plus a pic of a litte doggy with a jacket on...
