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!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the picturesque coastal village of Craster in Northumberland during a gap between Covid lockdowns…

The concrete construction at the end of the right hand breakwater is the remains of tower that supported an overhead cable system that used to transfer stone from a quarry west of the village to ships in the harbour.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the New Bridge at Calver in Derbyshire.

Although called the ‘New Bridge’ it was actually built in 1781 to carry the new Sheffield-Calver turnpike road over the River Derwent. The building visible through the bridge is Shuttle House which once housed the sluice machinery to control the flow of water down the goit (water channel) to Calver Mill.

I remember having a splendid Croque Madame for lunch at The Bridge Inn in Calver that day too!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the flora and fauna at Straws Bridge nature reserve near Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

I’m not sure but I think I was experimenting with a Fujifilm MCEX-11 Extension Tube that day…
