February 18th – I passed through Lichfield just at the right time and had time to get this classic Lichfield shot. I think every local photographer has done this one at one time or another, but you really can’t resist such a gorgeous sight.
Lichfield, for a relatively flat place, does have some beautiful views.
February 11th – Monkeying around with the Clayhanger overflow view again. I liked the sky, and reflections: not quite really dark, I think this worked quite well.
Nice to feel that chill in the air, too. Dry and cold, this is how it should be in February!
February 1st – Past 5pm, still some light skulking in the sky, hiding from the oncoming night.
Darlaston and my beloved Black Country – in how many ways do I love thee?
January 25th – Crossing Anchor Bridge and heading up the High Street the sky was unusually light, so I just popped the camera on the bridge parapet and set it off on timer.
I never, ever tire of this view. Can’t wait to see some leaves on those trees again.
January 12th – A better day health and mood-wise, but not in terms of the weather. I had to go to Droitwich, and got wet on the way. On my return, it was sunny in Worcestershire and Birmingham; as I got to Walsall near 3pm, the sky blackened and dusk seemed to fall early.
The sky was incredible, seen here at Station Street in Walsall, just as the rain started.. The following downpour? Not so much.
December 17th – I had to nip into Eddington early in the day, so I hopped on the train and sped down the Cross City Line. As the dawn threatened to break over Hill Hook, I caught this shot of Sutton Coldfield transmitter through an open train door.
This week hasn’t been great weather wise, and in such dark days t can be hard to find beauty. But I was glad I saw this,
December 16th – Shhh! Whisper, you’ll scare it away. It’s shy, timid and rarely seen around here these days.
That’s a very rare blue sky, and I’m shocked and surprised to see such a lovely example today.
It’s been so long since I saw one, I had to check a reference guide to find out what it was…
December 5th – A day of high winds and blustery squalls, I left it until late afternoon to get some shopping in. Choosing Aldridge mainly so the wind would blow me home, I rode up the canal, but the towpath were so muddy form recent rains that riding them was a chore; the cloying mud stuck to my tyres and jammed in my mudguards. A real battle.
These hardy canoeists made up for it though. A beautiful scene.
November 26th – After the wet, grey and unpleasant morning, it was nice to see the day dry up with some blue sky visible at lunchtime. Great skies with high cloud, and a slight warmth on the breeze really made a change as I rode down into Wednesbury on an errand.
I’d like more of this. Looking at the forecast, that seems unlikely.
November 7th – A day that started out miserably, with rain and heavy winds finished with a beautiful sunset that caught me just as I ran an errand into Lichfield.
From canal junction to road junction, from Minster Pool to Beacon Park, from the Chemical Hill to Hammerwich, everything was bathed in beautiful light.
Despite the wind, I was glad to witness this.
