My Uncle asked me to have a look at a old photo he had. It was on glass and lots of areas were flaking off. I have not really done much work like this but I enjoyed it and dont think it came out too bad. I wanted to keep it looking authentic, so did not want to take it too far.

Not been here for a while but was on a few days off from work and though it would be nice to have a walk along the river. There has been some damage done to the bridge since I was last here and the whole of the top section has been smashed off. Hope they manage to restore it soon.

I spent yesterday morning on the Roaches, I have never photographed this building before and I have no idea how long its been empty or who buried the bucket, or why for that matter :o)

The clouds were flying past over head and I liked the look of them blurred and felt it added to the atmosphere of the shot.
