A narrow tarmac path, ridged and frayed at the edges, with a tree reaching over from the right and a wooden fence and trimmed hedge running alongside it on the left. Ahead, a man is walking under a railway bridge that runs across and above the path; at the same time, a train in red, orange and white livery is travelling left to right across the bridge.

Path under the railway bridge, Ely.

It looks as though I was fishing for compliments now! 😁 Thank you - that's a very kind thing to say.

I'm very much not, but I must be doing *something* that justifies a double egg bap 🤔

A view over a low metal fence and past a bare winter tree to a narrow beck with grassy banks. Beside it a wooden fence leads to a small white building, and in the distance there is a line of trees. The sky is very pale grey.

Beck.

View of the backs of two of a row of old houses (one green, the other white) that back onto the sea. In front of them is a jumble of small outbuildings, with a rough corrugated roof on a wooden hut and white uPVC windows on another. There is rough grass in the foreground. It is overcast.

Seaside houses, Allonby.

Very much so 👍

I've managed never to visit any of them, though I've stayed maybe an hour away a few times. Must rectify that one day.

A view along a dark lane between tall hedges, with a clear blue evening sky ahead and the hint of a sunset at the horizon. The end of a house is silhouetted on the right. Light is reflecting off a snail-trail bicycle track that threads its way down the lane.

Well, I never. I was writing a line or two about the family who lived here just last night. Love the photo!

Aw!

We don't get many of them in Ely, so you've got to make use of them when they're about 😁

😆

View on a grey day down a slight hill (about as much as you ever get in the fens) lined with old shops, and with a cyclist heading downhill away from the camera.

Fore Hill, Ely.

These pictures have a real atmosphere. I'm realising how long it is since I last went somewhere like that.

Wow.

Beautiful.

This may be the sunniest I have ever seen Carlisle Cathedral

A view through a gloomy, quite bare interior, to a large window and doorway onto a covered area outside with people sitting at tables. The wall on the left is the wooden front for a counter topped with yellow fabric blinds that have been lowered to leave a single gap through to a kitchen area; the floor is unfinished and slightly shiny, reflecting light from outside. A single bulb dangles into shot.

A view, over a low hedge and a taller, orange-brown stained featherboard fence (with the back end of a car parked beside it), to a series of gable ends and pitched roofs of houses and garages, all in yellow brick and with no window visible anywhere. There is heavy cloud above but a fringe of blue sky over the roofline.

Suburban view, Ely.

View across a river lined with narrowboats towards a yellowy green willow tree. The sky is pale blue with wisps of grey cloud.

Thank you! That's very kind. I realised I have almost no interiors pictures, so I've been desperately trying to find things I can photograph...

A pale, cream-coloured curtain against a white wall bathed in sunlight through a window out of shot. The edges of the window and the folds of the curtain are casting shadows.

A view across the west end of a church with one door a little open so that the design of both inside and outside is visible: upward-pointing metal arrows with detailed fletching on the outside, and leaves and an acorn carved in wood on the inside. A noticeboard is dimly visible, a small table, and two thirds of a stained glass window in gloomy light.

Entrance, Church of St Mary, Wreay.

View across lichen-covered roofs, some red tile, some slate, and past the upper storeys of old red-brick buildings, to the sea. The sea is calm and the sky is blue and there is a clear winter light.

Was literally just about to say that 👆

An overhead view of a loupe on a page of printed text, in which only the two or three letters visible through the lens (the second and third of which are 'le', the first unclear) are in focus.

Loupe.

That's worked out well. 😀 It's just far enough away from here that it kind of demands a full day, which is probably why we haven't got round to it recently. One of these days.

Front-on view of a modern yellow-brick end-terrace house of three storeys, with pale grey/blue front door on the left and white garage door on the right. In front of it a path curves through short grass and a lamppost stands to the left and appears very slightly taller than the house. The shot is blue.

House.

Very nice. Must be the best part of ten years since I've been up there. Spent a pleasant day at the beach.

This is great. If anyone needs me I'll be spending the rest of the day playing with the Relight Viewer on the punch for the letter h
