Taken at the end of May 2009. Swinerton Staffordshire.

I like the crops in the foreground and had to move around to get the wind pump in the gap in the trees. Like tones in the shot so converted it to B&W.

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.

Taken at the end of May 09 at Three Shires Head.

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.
