I've had three days of walking the streets with my camera, no rain and not much sun either, just Manchester autumn light and a fine wet mist suspended in the air. The colours have been extraordinary, pavements carpeted by leaves on fire with oranges, reds and yellows. Everything I photographed looked super saturated thanks to the giant white cloud reflectors in the sky, bouncing down an even light across our sodden city. So here's two fingers to those who hanker after summer months, lets embrace all our seasons before global warming steals them away.
I knew the expression 'pins' referring to legs but had to Google what the Cockney rhyming slang comes from. It looks like 'pins & pegs', but there are some great alternatives like 'bacon & eggs' and 'dolly pegs'. I think I might start trying to incorporate more Cockney into my everyday speak, I do have London roots but they are more South (Saff) London than East London, where I think it originates. Anyway this is all to illustrate a new picture that sits quite neatly with an older picture. So brogues, legs and a sea view from my two main muses. This might be turning into a set... Oh by the way the top view is Morecambe Bay and the lower image is from The Wirral looking across towards Wales. The North West of England is a beautiful place, with some stylish residents.
