Day 031 of my 365 Project
Lonely Tree.
Well 1st month over I hoped everyone have enjoyed seeing the photos again this year I must admit it hasn't been easy. I love the way the little drainage waterway leads your eye into the tree in the picture. I have used a red filter to darken the blue sky against the big white fluffy clouds taken, I love this in black and white.

Marching Pylons.
Been travelling again today, seen some snow at cumbria and plenty of rain too. Took this today on the way to Stockton via the back roads. I love pylons I know some people hate them too, but I like the symmetry of them and love this in black and white.

My Three Trees.
Been freezing today again but not too bad in the sun with the wind blowing behind you. These trees are near my home and I always love seeing them from the top of the watch bank.

Day 027 of my 365 Project
Light at the start of the day on Route 66.
Took this on the way over the A66, it was a strange bright and foggy morning at different sides of the road looking lovely with a dusting of snow. Anyone who travels this road regularly will have seen it before like this. I noticed the scene through my mirrors so pulled over for a better shot p.s. it was freezing.

Whitby Pier.
Been a pretty miserable day today but it is January. Turned this photo black and white for the timeless feel to the image and added some grain for the more filmic look.

Day 025 of my 365 Project
My Favourite Tree.
Had the pups out this afternoon for a walk down the village fields right on time for the golden hour. They had already been washed from their morning walk and were filthy again oops. I love this tree its the last one to get its leaves and always the first to shed them in the autumn.

Lovely Day at Thirlmere Cumbria.
I have been over Cumbria today and it was beautiful snowy covered mountains and mirror like reflections in some of the lakes. Took this is a stitched panoramic photo of Thirlmere Iv'e never seen it as still as this before what a beautiful winter landscape if I say so myself.

Lovely Day in York.
Took this photo in York today of the Lendal Bridge, the work on the bridge began in 1810 and took 11 years till it was finished. It's been a lovely and sunny day but still very cold but it was nice and warm in the car.
Taken with Fuji X100F with Std Lens.
Day 021 of my 365 Project
Wild Grass at Hardwick Park.
Had the pups out again and this is something different for my photo of the day. I must admit it was a lot easier taking photos with Bailey in tow he did stand still while I took a shot. I love the sun in the background of the tall grass, still dreaming of the warmer days
Taken with Fuji X100F with Std Lens.
Day 020 of my 365 Project
Winter Sunset at Hardwick Park.
I took 'Lily and Luna' over to the park later this afternoon for a walk and followed the fading light looking for a photo of the day. I saw this scene and I must thank the lady that stopped her children and waited while I took the photo. This is called "Bono Retiro" there are also several memorial plague and is a very peaceful area of the park.

Day 019 of my 365 Project
Traffic at Night.
Took this tonight at Sedgefield the racecourse roundabout, love the mist that added to the haze around the street lights. It has been cold most of the day, it hasn't really got light at all if you know what I mean.

Day 018 of my 365 Project
Winter Sunset Saltburn Pier.
How tranquil is this setting late evening middle of winter dreaming of the summer. It was really cold but the sky was lovely, people were still walking back and forth along the pier. The pier was first opened in 1869, people were surfing they must have had thermal wet suits as it was just above freezing when I got back into the car!!

Day 017 of my 365 Project
End of our Street.
1st snow of the year today a little flurry the pups were ok with it I don't think Luna even noticed with her built in fur coat. I took this photo this afternoon when on the way home after a walk with the pups. I never get sick of this view especially in the winter months when the sun always sets inline with the road. It often brightens the dullest days in the winter.

Day 016 of my 365 Project
Herdwick Sheep.
I have been over Cumbria again today and took this while on the way to Torver via Coniston, I took a little detour and loved it. I have never been that way before which is a surprise the amounts of times I have been over there, you never know there is surprises everyday. While I was there I asked the sheep about Brexit but couldn't get any sense off them either must be politicians !!

Day 015 of my 365 Project
Grazing Sheep.
I have been over Cumbria today and took this while on the way to Kendal weather has been overcast most of the day but mild for the time of the year. Love this in sepia it makes the photo more timeless it could be a 100 years ago.

Day 014 of my 365 Project
Last Years Crumpled Leaves.
Weather has been quite good today for the time of year, I had to take pups to vets for the check, so called over the park and took this photo of these old crumpled leaves, I love the contrast against the lovely blue sky, roll on spring for some new growth and warmer days.

Phone photo of the moon.
Took this tonight using my telescope, I haven't had this out for a couple of years, 1st time with my phone over the eyepiece to take a picture not brilliant but I took it today and its different. I must get a proper camera mount for my telescope.

The Dovecote my favourite local pub.
Took this tonight of my local, this place takes on a whole new appearance at night. Ive been out and about all day very mild for the time of the year. I must admit Im often in here to sample the fine drinks and atmosphere....

Day 011 of my 365 Project
Seaton Carew Bus Station.
I have always loved this building, it was built by Thomas Mowbray Stonehouse in 1938 in the Art Deco style, the structure made architectural history with the first use of curved concrete. It was officially opened on 29th June 1938. I took this today when we went to Seaton for some fish and chips for lunch they were lovely too. Love this in black and white it makes the photo more timeless.

Day 010 of my 365 Project
Mirror Lake.
Iv'e been over Cumbria today the weather was very changeable today from thick fog to a bit of clear sky and everything in between. I have been past Bessenthwaite Lake hundreds of times in the last five years and on very rare occasions its like a mirror, today was like that. Love this in black and white especially for the contrast and sky.

Day 009 of my 365 Project
Scarborough Ferris Wheel.
I noticed a lot of colour in the sky late this afternoon as I was travelling home through Scarborough. I love the big wheel on the edge of the pier on the sea front, lovely setting, lovely end to the day.

Light at the end of the day.
Took this at the back of the Hardwick Arms Sedgefield this afternoon. The weather has been pretty miserable all day but it got out a bit later in the afternoon. These fields remind me of the many dinner times when we were down the village while we were at school.

Seaton Carew Beach.
Took the pups to Seaton today, they loved it took this while we were there, the old wooden stumps must have been some sort of jetty, walkway or small pier not sure if anyone one knows?

Day 004 of my 365 Project
Through The Worm Hole.
Been to Middlesbrough today a bit shopping for Daisy. While Elaine took Dasiy to shops I escaped and had a look around then took the 'Temenos' scupture again from a different angle. I quite like the sculpture it reminds me of a sci fi drawing of a worm hole.

Day 003 of my 365 Project
Stormy Sea Hartlepool Headland.
Took this of Hartlepool Headland, the sea was quite rough as the tide was nearly fully in. I love the power of the sea and the waves hitting the Hough, I could watch it all day.

Day 002 of my 365 Project
Dreaming of the Summer.
Elaine wanted to pop to Hartlepool this morning, so I took a detour along to Seaton Carew. I knew the light would be quite harsh this morning as the sun was low in the winter sky, I thought about a silhouette photo so took this of the seafront promenade it was only 3 degrees, but on the photo you could think it was the summer.

Day 001 of my 365 Project
Copse on the Hill Nr Windlestone.
1st Photo of my new project, took this photograph this afternoon because of the tranquilly of the little copse on the hill side and small lake a haven for wildlife especially the birds. I love the high contrast of the clouds against the light fields it looked like it was going to pour down.
