This historical Tudor building in the Lincolnshire town of Boston dates back to the 15th century and started life as a trade hall for four local priories. The building was remodeled and refurbished in 1879 and turned into a theater where the famous Arthur Lucan / Old Mother Riley started his career in Pantomime. Lincolnshire’s history has been influenced by people from other lands; Romans, Normans, Saxons and Danes, but in later times it was Lincolnshire people who would help shape the modern world. The driving forces were curiosity, a sense of adventure, the desire to exploit the riches of the New World, and religion. Pilgrims from Lincolnshire headed west. The Pilgrim Fathers set sail to escape persecution, starting communities in a young country – America. Later 250 of Boston’s most influential citizens set sail to the New World, founding Boston, Massachusetts amongst others. It is likely that many of those citizens would have visited this building.

Looking across the fields of rape towards Denton in Lincolnshire.
I came across these bricks on the floor of a church in Lincolnshire, which had obviously been used as part of a Sunday school lesson for the children of the parish. I could practically hear the lesson and imagine the faces of the small children being taught that these were the building blocks that we all use to build our own personal prisons from… The building blocks of human misery! The bricks we all use to construct a prison for our minds. I guess we probably all sat and listened to similar lessons when we were young, no matter what your faith, religion or ethnic origin might be… but sometimes I wonder if we really learned those lessons! I don’t think so!

Taken on a recent holiday, I waited all week to get the right conditions – I was frozen solid by the weekend.
I’m not a lover of heights, so I felt quite proud of conquering 5 flights of dark and flimsy gantries and stairs… This was my first ever attempt at light painting and I’m rather pleased with how my torch created a contrasting rusty glow to offset the cavernous black and blue abyss.
4:40 am and I’m thinking about calling it a night when I look out the window and see that the rising sun is painting the sky with some fantastic colours. Muttering something to myself about sleeping when I’m dead, I grabbed my trusty Nikon D200 and Mono-pod and rushed out to the door and through the streets to the local town hall, which is a west facing colonial style building which is usually lit up at night, and has some nice trees with a statue of Sir Isaac Newton out front (he was born round here somewhere). A friendly council worker who was emptying the bins outside the town hall offered to move his rather unattractive dust cart out of the way and I was all set… Click…Click…click!
I’d just finished shooting ‘Charnel No.5’, turned around and stopped dead in my tracks - Once I’d remembered how to breathe again I realized this could well be the the shot of the day. Can’t imagine being more pleased with how it turned out. The Flickr Sprites really were on my side this time…
