I’ve photographed the Brutalist architecture of Park Hill in Sheffield a few times and no doubt will do so again, the flats really do dominate the Sheffield skyline!

Stained Glass
iPhone SE, Hipstamatic app.
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Six years ago it was this section of stained glass in Rachel’s kitchen door, using the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.
I rather like Hipstamatic for abstract little snaps like this…
Once again it was taken using the John S ‘lens’ and DreamCanvas ‘film’ settings.
