Morecambe …. These lights at the funfair on Morecambe seafront struck me as a little sad …pointing in different directions int he wind and losing their ‘petals’ one by one…

This image was made along Morecambe’s promanade one evening, just before sunset. Im amazed to see so many variations of light over the bay, every night is different. Ive found taking pictures along the bay in any weather can give good results, with grey and over cast pervect for black and white. I love my work to be saturated with colour. This evening, i found that colour :) Thanks for taking the time to look. Stevie

Shot at the entrance to the churchyard of StHelens church Waddington. / This is a HDR shot, 3 exposures. Set in the picturesque village of Waddington in Lancshire, England St. Helen’s church has been rebuilt at least four times since 1435. The present church originates from 1899 – 1901 built in the early perpendicular style. Only the tower remains from the medieval church, it contains a 19th Century window with St. Helen flanked by the Saxon chieftain Wadda and King Henry VI – both thought to be significant characters in the history of the village. Of interest in the church itself is the medieval font and the Browsholme Chapel Shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens

Famous for it’s ballroom dancing, Wurlitzer organ and fine victorian architecture. / Blackpool tower ballroom. / Shot at the seaside resort of Blackpool, Lancashire. / Here’s some info on the ballroom, courtesy of Wikipedia: / The original ballroom, the Tower Pavilion opened in August 1894. It was smaller than the present ballroom and occupied the front of the tower complex. The Tower Ballroom was built between 1897 and 1898 to the designs of Frank Matcham who also designed Blackpool Grand Theatre and it opened in 1899. It was commissioned by the Tower company in response to the opening of the Empress Ballroom in the Winter Gardens. The ballroom floor is 120ft x 120ft and is made up of 30,602 blocks of mahogany, oak and walnut. Above the stage is the inscription, “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear” from the poem Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare. Each crystal chandelier in the ballroom can be lowered to the floor to be cleaned which takes over a week. / From 1930 until his retirement in 1970 the resident organist was Reginald Dixon, known affectionately as “Mr. Blackpool”. The first Wurlitzer organ was installed in 1929, but it was replaced in 1935 by one designed by Reginald Dixon. The current resident organist is Phil Kelsall who has been playing the organ at the Tower since 1975 when he started in the circus. / The ballroom was damaged by fire in December 1956, and the dance floor was destroyed along with the restaurant underneath the ballroom. Restoration took two years and cost £500,000, with many of the former designers and builders coming out of retirement to assist, the resturant then became the Tower Lounge. / The BBC series Come Dancing was televised from the Tower Ballroom for many years and it has also hosted shows from Strictly Come Dancing including the grand final of the second series on 11 December 2004. / The Blackpool Junior Dance Festival (“Open to the World”) has been held each year in the ballroom since 1964. / Dancing was not originally allowed on Sundays; instead, sacred music was played. The ballroom also originally had very strict rules including: / “Gentlemen may not dance unless with a Lady” and / “Disorderly conduct means immediate expulsion”. / The ballroom has had a number of resident dance bands including Bertini and his band, and Charlie Barlow. Other smaller dance bands have also appeared as residents including the Eric Delaney Band and the Mike James Band. / Under the management of Leisure Parcs,and the direction of bandleader Greg Francis, the Blackpool Tower Big Band was reformed in 2001 after an absence of 25 years. The New Squadronaires, The Memphis Belle Swing Orchestra and The Glenn Miller Tribute Orchestra also performed. Themed nights were also introduced along with the sixteen piece orchestra, with resident singers, including Robert Young, Tony Benedict, Lynn Kennedy, and Mark Porter.[citation needed] In 2005 the Empress Orchestra became resident in the ballroom alongside the specially created and smaller Empress Dance Band. / Shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens /

Just for a change of scene and style, I thought I’d upload this photograph of St Patrick’s Chapel in Heysham, North Lancashire. The chapel is thought to date from the late 8th century and thus can’t be directly founded by St Patrick but local references to Patrick would indicate that he did have some historic influence in the area. / This is pretty much all that remains of what was once probably a monastery chapel but alongside are a series of stone graves, hewn out of the bedrock and possibly of the same date – I may even put up a picture of those another time. / Indeed the adjoining “modern” church of St Peter (14th and 15th century but probably an even older foundation than St Patrick’s) is very well worth a visit and contains a ‘hog-back’ tomb from the 10th century – very rare and possibly the finest in the UK. As you can tell, I have ‘tweaked’ this one with some diffuse glow and added a sort of hand-tinted look – it’s an image that lends itself to a whole range of interpretations! Thanks for looking.

The Ashton Memorial is Lancaster’s most famous landmark and indeed is all most people experience of this city as they whizz past on the M6! / As with the Victoria monument in the city centre, this huge edifice was built with money from Lord Ashton who made his money with oil cloth and linoleum. It was built as a memorial to his late wife within the grounds of Williamson Park (named after its founder and Lord Ashton’s father), designed by John Belcher and commenced in 1906. / A decade or so it underwent a large restoration project and is now a worthy landmark, exhibition space and wedding venue on the outskirts of the city. This picture was taken on one of the very few days of the year when the sun sets at just the right place!! Thanks for taking a peep. / Richard Tech detls / Nikon D200 / Nikon 80-400mm@400mm / 1/125s f5.6 / ISO200

This ancient, silvering cypress snag is an old friend of mine. Full of holes, It is a veritable apartment house for woodpeckers and other birds who nest in cavities. / The morning I took this, I didn’t see the birds (crows) until I downloaded it. Feathers are wet; flight is impaired. All is still. Sony F828 / Bayou George, FL

A fall on the way up to Fairy Falls :) I climbed to the middle of the falls to take this. I’m calling this falls Lower Fairy Falls (no idea what the real name would be). You can barely see the tripod foot at the very bottom of the photograph (it looks like a rock). The trail to these falls starts at Wahkeena Falls. I found it amazing how symmetrical this is.
