I can’t explain why this image keeps catching my eye as I scroll through Lightroom, it just does…

It took me a while to remember where this pic was taken and even now I’m not 100% certain!

The area known locally as Pennytown has now mostly been swallowed up by the Derbyshire village of Somercotes and surrounding industrial estates but the ponds remain as a Local Nature Reserve.

I’m slowly gaining confidence when it comes to candid/street photography, it’s a slow process as although cameras are now commonplace, people seem to be far more wary of them.

Market day in Mansfield was a good place to practise though, folks were far more interested in getting their fruit and veg!

This pathway is a couple of hundred yards from our house and a brilliant place for collecting pine cones!

The Undercliffe Walk at Saltdean, east of Brighton, is a very pleasant spot for a Sunday morning stroll even if I did make life more difficult for myself by making the already heavy Nikon F3HP even heavier with the MD-4 motordrive I’d picked up the day before from Park Cameras in Burgess Hill!
