1. A bit of depth of field, with what could be described as bokeh (just showing off)
2. This used to be my "Mess Room" when I worked here, inside were traces of its former use, to the right, the stables, they were still set out for horses with feeding racks and tether loops. The centre section, our "mess Room" would have been the tack room as it had wooden brackets for harnesses, and the sliding doors on the right were for the carriages, with brackets for harnesses again. One thing that must be lost by now were "slippers" to put over the horses hooves, they were rubber coated metal with a wing nut at the rear to tighten onto the hooves. I think this was to stop the horses damaging the grass when they walked over the lawn, possibly pulling some sort of grass cutting gear.
3. The Azaleas are starting to colour up.
4. Can you tell were I am yet ?
5. Yew trees are starting to get out their pollen bits.
6.&7 crocus and a wet knee.
8. I was at ground level again looking at the slug damage, and this cheeky fly just looked at me.
9. There are now more snowdrops than you can shake a stick at, but if you do shake a stick at them the "parky" will chase you.
10. What are you whispering about.

and with that, if you hadn't guessed, finishes my tootle around Haworth Park.

Great shots again Dave. Does the council still have Park Keepers? I remember when I was on the council I had to rewire Haworth Art Gallery on my own.

Super shots, Dave! I always loved Haworth Art Gallery. Great job capturing the fly :)

I thought I would try to get some photos of the viaduct in Accrington but after seeing the clutter from street furniture I gave it up.
No.2 Then only about 300 yards away I took this.

Both taken from car, as usual.

I know what you mean about the "clutter, it shows up less if you do a shot looking down the length of the arches, or from height, this is possible from the Arndale car park.

There have been a few photographs on here taken from the top of the Arndale Dave, I thought I would try something different seeing as I was on Homebase car park.
Another good spot to take photos of the viaduct is on the station bridge.
