I really should spend more time in my local park, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by…

The Crossley Park bandstand dates from 1999 and regular brass band concerts are held in it during the summer months. It replaced the 1937 original that was destroyed by fire in 1997.

An image from my first roll of Foma Pan 200, also the first roll through a new to me Nikon F-501.

The Foma Pan 200/FX-39 II developer combination creates images with good contrast… ideal for a dreich January day!

Another image from my recent wander around Matlock Bath in June.

“In 1887 an iron bridge of 85 feet span was constructed, at a cost of £230, connecting the promenade with Lovers’ Walk, and at the same time the Promenade was laid out at a cost of £700” (an extract from Kelly’s Directory of Derbyshire, 1908).

An image from a wander around Matlock Bath in June. The 1864ft long gondola lift links the spa town Matlock Bath with the Heights of Abraham, a hilltop park on top of Masson Hill.

The heights are named after a supposed resemblance to the Plains of Abraham, also known as the Heights of Abraham, in Quebec, Canada, where James Wolfe died in battle.
