Taking a break from the Saltwick Dawn shots and going to try this one for size. Taken whilst walking around the engine sheds at Grosmont with Dave.
The hi-vis jackets are a requirement in the yard, health and safety dictate this, so I prefer to work with them photographically, rather than trying to fight them.
I just had to wait for the bloke wearing it to get into a suitable position to have it reflected in this composition. Shortly afterward he moved to a different engine to get that one ready.
Not a lovely sunrise this one and probably not for the masses, so cheers if you made it to here ... have a great weekend.
Paul

Looks like a goldfish in a bowl. You love fish don't ya, what with the salmon, trout, Tuna and now goldfish, just no stopping ya is there? Excellent shot btw, very different even quirky and I'm a quirky kinda guy, I'd defo give this one wall space.

Fish don't sink mate, they bob. 
There ya go new title, 'Bob the Goldfish' and on Charlottes pic today is 'Dennis the Dragonfly' wow it's a cool kind o' day.
I'm real good fanks, in one of my funny moods today, I missed a course of tablets yesterday.
It's very good indeed, Paul.
That splash of colour in a largely monotone image really works a treat.
A great opportunity well seen and well taken, and makes an impressive and gritty change from your landscape shots.
Must have been quite liberating not to have been burdened by walking around with your portable Great-Light-and-Tremendous-Sky-with-added-Ocean-and-Lighthouse Machine... ! (Your car must humungous!!!)
Cheers

PMSL @ Bill ... I tow it behind, it won't fit in the boot. Cost a fortune to put some running gear onto it though This type of photography I like, it recharges my batteries and gives me a buzz.
Take the tablet now Simon, there's a good boy
Cheers all,
Paul
You could always get 'er indoors (or is she outdoors at the mo?) to carry it for you!
What, she's back already? I thought she was exiled in Leeds!
I like it a lot paul, reckon a head showing in the reflection would have perfected it but then you'll probably disagree
Still gets my vote though....
Better get the dinner shopping started, then 
And the wine shopping....
Looking for the out of the ordinary is what makes this hobby of ours so much fun. Well spotted and the wait for the moment was worth the effort. Nice splash of colur in this otherwise monochrome image.

you could have made your own wet patch to make the puddle bigger!!
Very well spotted and executed Paul not sure about the dripping water(?) down the centre wheel though, probably because its in focus and the wheel isn't if you see what I mean.
Darren.
Extremely well spotted and captured. A very exciting excellent photograph.

Invite me one day then, problem solved!! Mind you, it would have to be a really wide puddle as well 
Like it a lot BTW
I think it is a great sunrise,one of your best.Well seen Paul.
Tom.
It's not selective colour per sé Steve, just a dark oily environment with a splash of bright colour. If you look, there are some very small patches of colour dotted around. Cheers though.
Thanks too David and a huge ta for your UA, I never expected to get one ... let alone two
LOL ... sunrise indeed Tom
Thanks all,
Paul
