I’m still struggling to find any motivation for photography at the moment and that’s translating into a lack of posts here… But I have exposed a couple of rolls of film this past couple of weeks and I’m hoping to start on my developing backlog tomorrow.

In this post I mentioned how looking at old(er) images can be interesting from a point of view of seeing what’s changed locally and the above image is an example of that.

This alleyway linked two of the main shopping streets in town and although it’s still accessible from the other end, this end is now home to a carpet shop!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was a mini diesel gala (featuring just class 20s if memory serves) at the Midland Railway-Butterley.

I think this was the final train of the day with 20205 and 20189 hauling a heavily loaded rake of carriages across the causeway spanning Butterley Reservoir.

Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.

I think both images are from the same day in September and as usual I’ve no idea of which camera, lens or exact film stock were used!
