What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

11 years ago it was a festive Nottingham city centre.

Unusually for me every image that day was captured with a 35mm lens… an AF NIKKOR 35mm f/2D.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was the Forth Bridge, from both North and South Queensferry…

Sadly, the Albert Hotel at North Queensferry had closed its doors the previous year and as far as I know it still hasn’t reopened.
