This way.
A short walk late last week that got terminated by rain & snow flurries.
All the snow has gone for now, just wet and windy but I can’t summon up enthusiasm for venturing out.

End of the path.
I think it’s time I turned back, as this is the end of the path
My Violin.
Violin & bow on seat.
P.s after making this picture, I noticed that the bridge is slightly off centre with the G string. The instrument has been in storage for some time so new strings and tuning needed.
Just a bench.

Driffield buildings.
Mishka Pub (formally known as the Blue Bell) on my list of places to go as I am told the food is very good.
Another wet & damp day, but hay ho it could be 45°C and 95% humidity and I would be running for an air-conditioned room.
Evening walk passed the Star Inn – Driffield.
A rather neglected inn – Driffield.
The sign says ‘Plasma TV’ maybe they should have spent it on a coat of paint.

From my files: Nikon F2sb, Tokina 35-70 f2.8 AIs AT-x zoom lens. using Kodak Tri-x old style emulsion: before the amount of silver in the film stock was reduced, around 2007 I think.
Moon Light.
Moon light – tree on rocks: Jebel Akhdar.
Norman Undercroft No2.
Another from Burton Agnes: this was made with the wrong aperture so had lots of motion blur and I nearly threw it out. The place is very old, cold and damp, so with a little added diffusion along with printing it on Ilford multigrade FB art 300 paper, it should give more of a feel for the place. Well that’s my excuse anyway 😉
Info about Ilford MG Art 300 paper, from their site:-
Black & white, silver gelatin coated, 100% Cotton Rag based darkroom paper. This premium quality, variable contrast paper delivers a slightly warm image tone on a neutral to cool white acid-free base. This unique paper has a textured matt surface with an ‘eggshell’ sheen finish making it a traditional fine art darkroom paper unlike any other. It is the perfect complement to showcase stunning black & white fine art images and is ideal for toning, hand colouring and retouching.

River Side – Driffield No2.
I make it look as if Driffield is always damp & misty, it’s not. I think it’s my subconscious feelings about UK weather presupposes me to this sort of image, but I’ll get over it eventually.
