What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was one of one of Hector Guimard’s iconic Art Nouveau entrances to the Paris Métro. This one stands directly opposite the main entrance of Gare du Nord at the junction of Place Napoléon III and Boulevard de Denain.

Throwback Thursday… Ariel, a very pretty kitty!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was Ariel, at her human’s home in France where she loved to sit in the shade under the roof covering the water well.

A couple of people have likened this next image to a scene in the 1997 film Titanic… “Photograph me like one of your French cats” 😂

Ariel, my fave Kitty!

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!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Seven years ago it was exhibits at the fantastic Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire.

The Hunting Jet Provost is a type of aircraft I saw regularly as a child, on training sorties from (I believe) Royal Air Force (RAF) Cranwell.

The Vickers Varsity (shown here with one of its Bristol Hercules 264 radial engines uncovered) was another type used in a training role by the RAF… I don’t recall ever seeing one fly though.

The Newark Air Museum is well worth a visit, with over 70 aircraft (or parts thereof) on display there’s plenty to interest both the enthusiast and the casual visitor.
