My first ever exhibition is now finished but after

My first ever exhibition is now finished but after a busy final weekend and a day working from home, I was definitely ready for a long walk yesterday evening. This isn’t the side of the viaduct that you’d normally see as its much easier to view from a footbridge on the other side. I hadn’t planned this either, but I could see the light was looking good on the brickwork, so I had a bit of a scramble down to the riverside. After taking a few shots, I started to pack up only to hear a train approaching, so I quickly took this final one, which turned out to be my favourite.

Interchange: The Heart of Bolton . I’m back in

Interchange: The Heart of Bolton
.
I’m back in the gallery again for the last day of this @livefromworktown exhibition. We’ve had such a great response from all our visitors, so it’s quite sad that we’ll be taking it down after today. Given it’s next to the Interchange itself, I thought I’d post a few of my images of this bright, airy rail and bus hub, taken early on in lockdown last year.
.
If happen to be in Bolton, please do pop in and see us. We’re open until 4pm, at the Platform 5 Gallery at Bolton Railway Station, Trinity Street. Just let the staff at the barriers know you’re visiting the gallery and they’ll let you through.

Winter Hill has to be one of my most photographed

OK, last shot from my weekend walk. Maybe because these outlying fells don’t get as many visitors or maybe because they’re a little lower than the main Lakeland fells, but this area certainly puts on a fabulous display of wild flowers. At this time of year, it’s the thistle that seems to be the prominent bloom.

Another shot from my weekend walk. Right at the end of the horseshoe route, I loved this view with a sunny, bright background but the foreground all in shade.

A mizzley start to yesterday’s horseshoe walk around the Bannisdale valley. A few miles north of Kendal, it just about makes the Lake District National Park but being lower and less craggy, the landscape somehow feels more like my local West Pennine Moors. Still, it made it into Wainwright’s Outlying Fells book and when the weather eventually started to clear, some great views towards the Lakes and Morecambe Bay opened up.

I’m back in the gallery again today, so thought I’d post a few of my images from the exhibition. You’ve got to agree, Bolton’s had it tough through lockdown, so I thought I’d share some images to show that the indomitable cheery spirit of the local folk has not been dinted through this pandemic.

We'll be open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 1st July to 24th between 10 and 4, at the Platform 5 Gallery at Bolton Railway Station, Trinity Street.

To say the weather this July has been changeable is an understatement. Still, its good to get out to the moors after work, even if there’s a high chance of rain. Taken near to Two Lads as these dramatic clouds passed over Rivington Pike.

I’m so delighted to be a part of the @livefromworktown Interchange: The Heart of Bolton exhibition but I have to say it’s time consuming work - I’ve hardly any time to keep my Instagram up to date! Anyway, I thought I’d share some of my featured photos taken in the Interchange itself during last year’s lockdown.

Today Bolton hosts England's only full-distance IR

Today Bolton hosts England's only full-distance IRONMAN competition which in fact will be well underway as I write, with a 6am start for the swim. I happened to be in the town centre yesterday so had a wander around the course as it circles the graceful Le Mans Crescent before reaching the finishing line in Victoria Square. I wondered whether these two people were doing a practice run run ready for today? I had a quick chat with one of the competitors too, who, along with his family, was sussing out the best place for them to stand to watch him cross the finishing line. Good luck to everyone who is taking part in this gruelling race! Please swipe for the second shot.

There’s something quite melancholy about abandon

There’s something quite melancholy about abandoned, ruined buildings in a landscape and the idea that it once supported people making a living but for some reason doesn’t now. I also love how nature reclaims these man-made structures and slowly blends them into their surroundings.
This was taken on a beautifully green and scenic route down from Cadair Idris to Llanfihangel-y-pennant. Not the not most direct, but a lovely contrast to our rocky Minffordd ascent.
