October Start of Month 10

Well this year is definitely flying past,I dont know whether its because i feel as though I have never stopped this last two months but im not complaining. I don't think I will be doing a 365 project next year but i will still be doing a sort of project but don't know what to call it, and i still will be posting photos but not every single day..

Fire in the Sky.
I have never stopped today, even been to Whitby it was packed and couldn't get parked this was going to be my photo of the day, Goth Weekend, but that's another story... So while I was out tonight at Darlington delivering, I received two texts have you done your photo yet, have you seen the sky in Trimdon, apparently it was spectacular. It was lovely at Darlington too but not same and not as dramatic.

Day 300 of my 365 Project 2017
Chasing the Light.
Well another milestone today, day 300 of my second year of my project. I'm happy and sad at the same time as I'm happy it will be soon over but sad that it's ending if that makes sense. I had a little drive this afternoon as the light was lovely and saw the way the light was shining on the road, it reminds me of the photos of them long roads in the states. I love it in black and white and the way its leads the eye into the photo also the starburst effect in the sky.
