A photograph from a shopping trip to Leeds in June… On the rare occassions I go shopping I also try to fit in one of two things… some photography or a decent pint of beer.

On this particular day I managed both!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the comings and goings at Stenson Lock on the Trent & Mersey Canal, a gongoozling Photography Friday with Rachel.

The lock itself is visible through the bridge and to the right is the excellent Stenson Lock Coffee Shop (their breakfasts are well worth trying).
