Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Well, Mick.....I have been away and only just found out the subject for the comp.......so i will submit something soon.

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

I have uploaded a couple!! x

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

I havnt had the camera out yet! Will make the effort this week when I have my car back. :D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

you said local .... that means in your locality .. where you can walk to ... so why do you need a car?:D:D:D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

I hope that's what he meant, that's what I did anyhow!! xx

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

I'm really enjoying seeing the photos in this competition. I'm presuming that the Church clock is the one on Lion Street, 'erindoors. I lived down there as a child and it seems vaguely familiar. So sad to see the Commercial like that though. I avert my eyes when my brother drives me past on my rare visits to Ossy.

The Rising Bridge! Friday night out and part of my misspent youth. So sad but thanks Jen x

A lovely scene from Margaret too. Keep them coming folks x

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

erm, Gail, when did the railings go up around the clock in Church? they werent always there

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Walking!! I would have to go via Jaysay's hows for some oxygen!! :p

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Well then the exercise will do you good!!!!:D:D:D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Yes i think i know which one to vote for....

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Don't know whether I love or hate you Derek. Spent 3 hours today walking around Clayton looking for buildings .. now feel like I have got bricks in me feet ! Having said that, went down little lanes never visited before, and had a lovely chat to the lady who owned the refurbished barn, and the man that has the stables which were attached to Clayton Hall .. they are gorgeous. Trouble is lovely photos of these on the web-site which would outdo mine anyday.

Even noticed our new member 15 year old Nikiig has opened her own website with photos and are much better than mine of the building in Mercer Park .. sob, sob.

Tried to find some a little different, like the shelter in the park. Got accosted by a gang of teenagers who asked me why I was taking photos of them ... told them "not to flatter themselves" :rolleyes: I'll get gobbed one of these days. LOL. Put a couple up, but will go out again.

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Humph and bother !! Even the system won't accept them tonight ... will try tomorrow. :(

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Was going to ask you where they were, went to the gallery to view. Sure the pics are great, you made me laugh with the comment to the kids:eek::)

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

MICK !!! They aren't loading .. not too big I'm sure. Tried one at a time, but no luck ?? Any suggestions ???

It's dangerous Bernie I can tell you ... these kids know their rights these days.
Didn't have the courage to take one of the Forts (gang of Blackburn Rovers fans outside), and as I passed the Royal, sure someone was doing a dodgy deal on fags ... so didn't risk one there either.

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

E-mail them to me and i will have a look for you

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

You should have rang me Kate, I would have come along, I love cheeky kids, I also wonder what I was thinking spelling house (hows), am losing the plot, and still havnt got out to take any pics! :eek:

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Aaaw thanks Mick for your offer x.. had another look ... they were too big ... 3254 x 2448 and 24 MB approx :eek: !!! Don't know how that has happened .. will have to look at my camera, must have changed summat .... :rolleyes:

One of them lifted his t-shirt up Derek and showed me his bony little chest, (modern interpretation of flashing ?) told him to come back when he had eaten his Weetabix in the mornings and had a bit more meat on him ... am asking for it, aren't I ? Can't help it though ... :rolleyes:

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Think you did right Kate, they were probably surprised you didn't just scuttle off cheeky sods!!!!

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Have read the theory that if you walk tall and not stooped, then shows confidence and less likely to get mugged, etc., however ....wouldn't like to put it into practice too much .. :eek:

Haven't put this one up, but wondered if the council was using up that blue paint on the clinic, that they used on the building on Broadway ... yuk :D:D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Uploads for this competition will close at about 10pm tonight

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Have loaded a couple more but ... what I get angry about is that there are some lovely photos of our Hyndburn buildings in other sections ... come on you lot ... enter them. Junetta .... you are good at this ... let's see Tenerife, and Eric ! great buildings in Kingston ... come on, share them with us.

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

I didnt get out in the end, sorry about this, but it has been a tiresome week, Yvonne had an operation, some will have read about the bailiff in my thread, I made a member of staff redundant last week, and have put another 4 on short time, so time has not been on my side Im afraid, sorry for the thread wander, but will hopefully be able to post piccies in the next comp.

Re: Photo Competition 70

This Competition has now closed and the winner is ::LESS

Re: Photo Competition 70

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Well done Less, doesn't that stone work look a mess though, they should be looking after buildings like that instead of letting them go to ruin

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

Should have said earlier, they can be recovered unless you have formatted

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

It's knowing where to stand Kate, I also have one of the viaduct taken from the same position.
:D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

:D Hard work doing a pirouette in the smoking area of the Railway innit ?

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

We don't mind him doing a pirouette in the smoking area its when he does one in the gents and the floor is wet through:D

Re: Photo Competition 70
 

It just proves it to be the centre of Accrington's own little universe, if it can't be seen from there it obviously doesn't exist.

Fortunately for everyone else, if we get the sharp sticks out and force Mick along a very narrow and neglected wall and he stands on tiptoe he can just about get a pic of the Coppice, otherwise it would have vanished for ever!
