R.A.F. Sutton Bridge Memorial
Nikon F80, AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D at 50mm, 1/350s, f11 – Lomography Lady Grey
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3 at 1:9, 6½ mins at 20°c.

The memorial to all who served at R.A.F. Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, photographed during a trip to Norfolk in September. The propeller blade is from a Hawker Hurricane.

The structure in the background is Cross Keys Bridge, a swing bridge spanning the River Nene. From 1897 until 1965 the bridge carried both the A17 road and the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway line from Spalding to King’s Lynn. Now it just carries the A17.

Some more of Sheffield’s street art for today’s post!

I don’t know who painted the above piece and it’s often hidden from view by parked vehicles but it could/can be found on Sidney Street, near the Industry Tap.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was the hamlet of Villegeneray in the Nièvre department in central France, specifically the house I was staying in, although the word ‘house’ doesn’t do the place justice!
