What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

11 years ago it was this somewhat neglected corner of Derby…

Pics of W.E. Savage have appeared on the blog before, here and here but I don’t think I’ve published a pic of the ‘Glam Boutique’ pinup before.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the landscape around Ilam Park in Staffordshire during a Photography Friday outing with Rachel.

The 158-acre country park is on both banks of the River Manifold and is a great place for a walk at any time of year but especially in autumn!

A couple of minutes after these pics were taken the heavens opened and we both ended up wet and cold!
