Some pictures must be taken, some things must be blogged. Photography and pop culture.
I went to my favourite place, Heaton Park, for the first time this year. The pictures I took there turned out so well, I will probably make multiple posts out of them. Here’s the sunset ones–because you can never go wrong with a sunset.
It does look like spring has come, although I’m far too cautious to trust the weather.
This week’s Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge is my middle name–Overthink. This is my contribution.
I overthink when there is nothing to overthink. I overthink when there is nothing to think.
I overthink in the morning, in the evening and all the time in between. I overthink when I’m eating and when I’m not eating.
I overthink.
I made this three years ago:
I have always been an overthinker.

It’s important to make a new post in a new year.
So here it is.
Pink clouds and trees in my park.
Hopefully 2022 has some good things in store for us. I expect to reach 500 posts on Some Photoblog, I’m guessing sometime in the spring. That is, if I don’t run out of ideas, last year I covered all of my favourite things.
Also am looking forward to the Death on the Nile film, gods know it’s been delayed enough.
Happy 2022, to everyone who’s reading this.
I’m pleased about today’s post for two reasons: 1. photos taken with camera, not smartphone (that’s the second post in a row with camera pictures–it’s getting better) and 2. skies!
Sunrise above, sunset below.
It was November— the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind—songs in the pines.

Not had one of these on Some Photoblog for a while! I snapped this on a walk in my local park during the recent heatwave (and how glad I am the it’s cooled down since, this city is not made for heat).
Sun through the trees, aka one of my favourite things to photograph. Also nicely trimmed grass and, alas, litter.
Title of this post refers to a sunset on a day in early January, as well as the fact that, because it is January in the northern hemisphere, sunsets come early.
Taken on my way to the supermarket–much like with the Caw It Form The Rooftops post, an opportunity for a nice shot came from doing the most mundane activity. Which is the only way these days, really, when we can’t go anywhere.
We’re right in the middle of winter, the season of short days and long nights–at least where I live. My working pattern means I get to see the rising and setting sun on my daily commute.
Sunrise photographed through the tram window, on the way to work, above. Sunset photographed from the tram window on the way home, below.
The tramline has some marvellous views in this section, inaccessible by any other means. It makes the sardine-like conditions of the rush hour much more pleasant.
Here are some of my best pics from September.
Mostly because I couldn’t think of any.
One of my better sunsets.
The reason why I take so many pictures from my window is that I’m lucky to have such a good view. No buildings in the way and when the weather’s clear, I can even see the Yorkshire hills in the distance.
This is Manchester now. Cranes, cranes, everywhere.
Also sunsets, if the sky is clear.
