Across the Pennines

Wonder if photobucket is always going to be ridiculously slow.......

Yesterday set off across the Pennines. Going by bus and via Rochdale in the hope of calling into Toad Lane. Set off much too late so will hopefully be tomorrow.

It’s Green Up North



Coming into Halifax



And from Halifax bus station a lovely lowryesque upland scene



Here is the top of the pennines.



Here is Lancashire side



And here is a Particular Baptist Chapel!



I arrive in Manky



Pass through Co-op corner looking for a bus to Longsight



A statue of the Immortal (though sadly now dead) Robert Owen



The Town Hall



Hopefully more to follow, can’t say when though........

Roll Out the Barrel! (occasional photoblogging part whatever of whatever)

Damn, is it me or is photobucket slow? Anyway here goes. Perhaps blogging always takes more time than expected even a quickie post, hence it’s decline. But then even in the golden age of blogging, which I seem to have missed alas, 97% of internet users had never dialed up a blog, or so I heard on the radio.

Must be lots of pics of this ample statue, but here is mine. A gift from Leeds twin city.



Here he is from another angle



And here’s the sign.



Rite, better get a bath and bus to Sheepscar.

Blogging from home (part one of an occasional or very occasional series)

I’m very low in energy at the moment. Facial pain, Insomnia, dissertation blues etc...

Anyway a blog post or ten is well overdue so will do my best.

Here’s a random shot of the brand spanking new Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building



Bloody daffodils!



Something else growing all by itself in the front garden. No doubt the rargwort will be up again soon. The rest of the garden is of course a slug farm and ragwort plantation...



Here’s the obamagedon shot in context.



Not got my head round the graphics editor. A close up shows a bar code, so Obamacoded...



And here is the shelf I put up today. Well done me!
