Throwback Thursday… Dungeness
Flags, Dungeness
Nikon D300, AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR at 62mm, 1/30s, f18, ISO 100
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
17 years ago it was the incredibly interesting landscape of Dungeness in Kent.
The flags fluttering in a very stiff breeze were on the deck of one of the many fishing boats drawn up on the shingle beach.
The building below isn’t entirely typical of the houses at Dungeness, but it, and the Airstream trailer, were very much in keeping with the area.
It’s an area I definitely should revisit!

Throwback Thursday… A walk along the Caledonian Canal
Toby… and Ben
Nikon D100, Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4 AF-D at 34mm, 1/125, f5.6, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
21 years ago it was whatever caught my eye during a stroll along the Caledonian Canal from our holiday cottage in Banavie, near Fort William.
Toby lived in the field between the cottage and the canal and was quite friendly (although not as friendly as ‘Mister Roy’ the cottage owner’s dog!).
I remember hearing a steam whistle as we walked down the flight of locks known as ‘Neptune’s Staircase’ and sure enough, when we were about half along a steam locomotive burst into view… (London & North Eastern Railway class K1 2-6-0 No. 62005 should you be interested.)

Throwback Thursday… Roker Lighthouse, August 2021

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was Roker Pier and Lighthouse, on a very blustery day!
The seabirds definitely add to the picture but a just a bit too far away for me, with my limited bird identification skills, to tell what they are.
Another pic of the pier and lighthouse, from the same day, can be found here.

Panasonic Lumix GF-1, Lumix G Vario OIS 14-45 f/3.5~5.6 at 28mm, 1/320s, f8, ISO 400
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
15 years ago it was this beautifully restored London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) class J72 0-6-0 tank locomotive at Swanwick Junction on the Midland Railway-Butterley.
Although built to a North Eastern Railway (NER) design dating from 1898 this sole remaining example was built in 1951 by British Railways (BR) at Darlington Works.
If memory serves 69023 was visiting the MR-B for a weekend-long model railway exhibition.

Freelance Wastrel’s 9th birthday!
‘Freelance Wastrel’ was nine years old on Sunday 🎂 (and I forgot!)
During the past 12 months I’ve written 73 posts containing 78 images.
I’ve posted images from 16 digital cameras, 14 film cameras and 10 different film stocks are represented! (9 black & white, 1 colour).
Thank you all once again for reading, following and putting up with my waffling.
