A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Since the photo competition ended and nobody seems willing to answer when it will be back,I thought I'd introduce a alphabetical themed photo thread.
Each day will be allocated a letter and members are invited to upload 'one' photo that corresponds to that letter and the the day will be allocated the next letter in the alphabet at 12am (midnight).

The rules are:-
1. Only one photo to be uploaded per member.
2. No uploads after midnight for the previous day's theme letter.
3. Everyone who enters must be willing to give AccyEx green karma for introducing such a great thread....Joking :D

I'll start us off.

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Nice idea Jason, but(there is always a but)I think this particular theme excludes any of the members who do not live in and around Accrington......and certainly those who live overseas.
I would be happy to be proved wrong though.
I was always keen to enter the photo comp, but I will have to give this a miss as I no longer go out after dark.......too scared of being even less visible that I am in daylight.

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Birds, does the theme stay at B all day or change to C now?

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

No,this theme thread is open to 'all members' regardless of their geographical location M.
It doesn't have to be a evening shot either,I'm sure you could find some pics in your archives if you wished to enter :)

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

The theme stays at B till 12am (uk time) tonight....thanks for your upload :)

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Ash, I get it now.
I thought you had designated the theme Accrington by Night, but I see now that it can be any location that begins with the appropriate letter of the alphabet.

As to the original photo comps, they were abandoned because of a glitsch with the system being used for uploads.......and I don't think it could be fixed(well not until Accyweb gets a big update).
Knowing that pics can be taken from our own archives is good too.
You see, I have helped clarify a couple of things there........so I do have my uses.

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

We'll put it down to my bad explanation M,It doesn't have to be a location...any picture that corresponds with the day's letter will do :)

Nice idea, AccyEx! I will get to it once I've shovelled the snow off my driveway (we got a healthy dump in last night). I'll have to be careful with the time change though :)

It has taken me ages to look through a whole load of pictures........all on flash drives as this new machine has no current pictures on it.......every picture I have is on a flash drive of one sort or another.

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Ooooops.....got carried away . :rolleyes:

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

I'm sure they can wait another 25 days,it'll give folk chance to search their archives and enjoy a nostalgic moment ;)

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

You can't beat a "healthy dump" T :D

I hope the snow isn't too deep over there,we've had a light sprinkle in the past 24hours,I look forward to seeing yours (and Eric's ;)) shots from across the pond. :)

No,These are the pre-decimals I've found....now,if I could just find a crown I'd have a full set ;)

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Yes Jason I know....these are fro my era of growing up I even remember the silver threepenny bit...but only because my gran kept a stash for Christmas puds(if you found one she would demand it back and give you one of the yellow shaped ones).

It is just that buskers are inclined to get foreign coins thrown into their cap( or non legal teder - which these are).

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

It could still be a dog...but a 'different' dog

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Ah, those are familiar....like you I have known them since I was a tiddler...but back then we called them the 'sharp bonks'

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Better not go into their etymology then . :D

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

perhaps not, but way back then I really don't think words had the same connotation(but I could be wrong)

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Lovely picture....I especially like the sunny background and the town laid out in the distance.
I have run up and down those steps so many times, going to or coming from Bullough park to my Grans house, which was on Higher Antley St

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Thanks . It was just one of those snaps when I happened to be in the right place at the right time .

I had many happy hours in Bullough Park and Priestley Clough when we lived up Fern Gore . They were my playground .

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Mine too...in fact was talking to my brother(via e-mail...he lives in Sydney) and he was saying that those two places were our theme parks...and didn't they just beat all those commercial enterprises into a cocked hat?

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

They certainly did , and all for free , except when Charlie Court opened his hut on the park to sell ice-cream and goodies , especially ice-cream soda .

Picnics down the clough , exploring the Red Barn as we called it , following the stream up to the Five Arches . Couldn't beat those days .

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

In a nutshell, that is exactly the conversation I had with my brother.

A lot more overgrown than we used to go up on our way to Bullough Park

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Know them well, we used to play up Black Rock as well

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

It's filled in now with building rubble.......maybe from when they built some bungalows on Willows Lane just above Bullough Park .

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

I haven't been up there for over 40 years

Re: A-Z OF PHOTO's
 

Unfortunately you'd be disappointed if you were to go up .

The way up the bottom of the clough following the stream is mainly blocked off , except for a section at the top end near where the Five Arches were .

The paths on the higher level where Black Rock was are still intact though .

Leisure Poem by William Henry Davies......

" What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare. "
