Photos - Mine

I like photography as something of a pseudo-hobby. I don't especially know much about it, but sometimes I get lucky anyway. Here are some.

Originally I only included photos here if I especially liked them. However, these days I often include photos in the diary. Different selection criteria apply. For the diary, I might include a photo that isn't especially impressive, if I especially want to include a photo of the subject to accompany the diary text. But that means I have all these photos already available on the site. I've therefore started including them here, because I might as well; it doesn't take any more work or space on the site.

Perhaps later, I will include a separate category for photos I have especially liked...

• UK Day Trips
• Dad's Visit (August 2002)
• Ironbridge Weekend (May 2002)
• Peak District (March 2002)
• Rhine Valley, Germany (February 2002)
• Scotland Trip (July/August 2001)
• Yorkshire (May 2001)
• York (May 2001)
• UK Trip (May/June 2000)
• Various other photos

Or, you can...

UK Day Trips
Biddulph Grange (September 2002)
	Lime Avenue (161 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002. Calm and quiet.
	Dahlia Walk (156 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002. Part of a long avenue of dahlia beds, sectioned off by the hedges you see.
	Frog (141 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002. Biddulph is organised into sub-sections, many devoted to particular countries. This frog is in the China section.
	Dragon (85 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002. These dragons are on the roof of a pagoda-like structure, also in the China section.
	Tiger lily (89 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002.
	Inverted lily (89 KB). Biddulph Grange, Biddulph, Staffordshire, England; 28 Sep 2002. Just for fun...
Little Moreton Hall (August 2002) Little Moreton Hall is a building of wondrous wibbliness. Any straight lines you may find are pure chance.
	Joined bay windows (100 KB). Little Moreton Hall, Scholar Green, Cheshire, England; 26 Aug 2002. These bay windows were added on to the original house. At ground level, they are two separate bays, but on the first floor they join together, so on the ground floor there is a strange tunnel formed between the bays.
	Rycharde Dale, Carpeder (132 KB). Little Moreton Hall, Scholar Green, Cheshire, England; 26 Aug 2002. The craftsmen who worked on Little Moreton Hall have signed it all over the place.
	Stream (167 KB). Little Moreton Hall, Scholar Green, Cheshire, England; 26 Aug 2002. Little Moreton Hall is surrounded by what amounts to a very civilised moat--a gentle and picturesque stream.
Speke Hall (June 2002)
	Speke Hall (120 KB). Speke Hall, Speke, Merseyside, England; 22 Jun 2002. Southwest corner, I think.
	Wibbly windowpanes (68 KB). Speke Hall, Speke, Merseyside, England; 22 Jun 2002. Well, they're parallel to each other...
	Palm cones (110 KB). Speke Hall, Speke, Merseyside, England; 22 Jun 2002. What, haven't you ever heard of the coniferous palm trees of England?
	Holly hedge (136 KB). Speke Hall, Speke, Merseyside, England; 22 Jun 2002.
Rufford Old Hall (June 2001)
	Topiary (187 KB). Rufford Old Hall, Rufford, Lancashire, England; 24 Jun 2001. Can you work out what this bush is carved to resemble?
	Spiral topiary (207 KB). Rufford Old Hall, Rufford, Lancashire, England; 24 Jun 2001. They had quite a lot of excellent topiary; the spiral shape was just one of many.
	Strange blue berries (98 KB). Rufford Old Hall, Rufford, Lancashire, England; 24 Jun 2001. Perhaps this is some kind of holly; I don't know.
	Mullion reflections (143 KB). Rufford Old Hall, Rufford, Lancashire, England; 24 Jun 2001. I quite like how this one came out--nicely abstract.
	More mullions (143 KB). Rufford Old Hall, Rufford, Lancashire, England; 24 Jun 2001. With different reflected colours this time.
