Forgotten - guilty as charged

Spooky-it was hungry, no skin and all bones

Week 44 captive
Went to Dunham Massey (NT site) they have a deer park so captive deer hopefully. Most of the trees are also enclosed with metal or wooden barriers to prevent the deer getting at them.

Nice looking young Fallow there. One of the places I miss after moving further North.

HelenC · 9 Nov 2023

Thanks, it's about an hour from us so not too bad. Lovely place for a walk but still not been in the house as we always have the dogs with us

Week 46 wall
Like this pic but thought its not really a wall

This is on the way to Dr Johnson's cottage, garden wall

Went with what's left of Dr Samuel Johnson's cottage

A wall can be many things.….maybe a log wall is a little bit of a shoehorn, but I agree with you, it’s a lovely image, so it’ll work for me.

Kell · 20 Nov 2023

I must admit, I was thinking this yesterday when looking for things to shoot as to what constitutes a 'wall'.

Old forts used to be made of wooden stakes, but you'd never describe the outer rings as fences, but walls. same as old wooden cabins...

So I think walls don't have to be brick. Either way, the logs image works well.

The colours in your chosen image are great and it's nice that the wall isn't immediately obvious.

HelenC · 22 Nov 2023

All work for me. I had to look harder at your chosen image as my first thought was "that's a fence" :LOL:

, yes not a lot of wall there

Silage bales are being left in the field by a few farms around here, believe they will use an electric fence and feeder. From a distance looks like as though the bales mark out a race track, pretty fast road with lots of bends so not worth stopping or walking down though. Bit of Autumn colour left.

Galch farm, the white building, is where Hugh Middleton grew up in the 1500s. Self taught engineer, his scheme the new river brought water to London from Hertfordshire. His brother Thomas was Lord Mayor of London.

Lose the wires and boost the co,our a bit and you've got a winner

Thanks Dave, I was going to get rid of the wires but was told I needed to do something so posted it, then forgot. Will have another look at it, if I don’t forget.

Week 48 arrows

Thought I would make an effort this week, got the tripod and camera and off to the round about. Got there and camera with a base plate won't fit on the newish ball head because of the safety thing to stop the camera sliding off, didn't have an Allen key to remove it so phone pic again

. not far away but its -2C

Roundabout complete with a Christmas tree and a house, house owners did not want to sell when bypass and roundabout was built.

Week 50 old

LC2 · 21 Dec 2023

Not sure we've got many VHS' left, but plenty of cassettes hanging around (albeit usually TDK) here.
Works well for the theme and B&W processing suits it.

Fuji Dave · 23 Dec 2023

Old is a cool blast from the past.
