Dig The City

5 Aug 2014 2:07PM   Views : 493 Unique : 380

Me and my shadow, more commonly known as my Pentax MX-1, were in the city today. It was all excitement as the Manchester Urban Gardening Festival was getting under way. The BBC had their big silver bus and lots of people with very sturdy tripods and cameras. The National Trust was busy entertaining the kids. Harvey Nicholls has a butty van, very sensible too.

I hadn't been expecting much to be going on, so this festival took me completely by surprise. It's running from 2nd to 10th August, so today was its fourth day. I was there early so it was hardly under way, but I did shoot a few images:

I love that artificial grass settee!

Always Carry a Camera

I make a point of always carrying a camera, just to capture anything and everything that catches my eye as we carry on with the minutiae of life. I was in Atherton and just heading for the shop that sells fuses and passed a small alleyway that used t...
