I’m finally finding some enthusiasm for blogging again…

This image is from a trip to Fife back in March, I liked the juxtaposition of the crow steps on one building and the shadow cast by others.

I’ve not felt like blogging much of late… or photography… or pretty much anything else really but as we approach the end of the year I’m doing my best to motivate myself to get out and about more.

Spending just a bit of time outdoors with a camera does wonders for my mental wellbeing, I just need a push to get me going again…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was one of one of Hector Guimard’s iconic Art Nouveau entrances to the Paris Métro. This one stands directly opposite the main entrance of Gare du Nord at the junction of Place Napoléon III and Boulevard de Denain.
