Venice
I took a short break to Venice at the end of February--my second trip to Italy in less than six months--so here's some pictures. The Grand Canal, view from Rialto bridge. St Mark's, or Basilica di San Marco. Palazzo Ducale. The Bell Tower. Bridge of Sighs--Ponte dei Sospiri Rialto bridge, from two sides. Gondolas. Ponte dei Carmini. Scuola Grande S Theodoro.
Tunnel
Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge is Tunnel--and I have just the thing for it! Located in my favourite place, Heaton Park. Tunnel in the tiniest sense possible, perhaps, but it's still a tunnel. If you want to get a sense of what it's like to pass through it, check out my Heaton Park video, it starts at 0:34.
Daffodils 2026
The Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge this week is Yellow and what an appropriate prompt it is, right at the start of the daffodil season! Photographed in Heaton Park with my trusted Canon, which has now been with me for an entire decade.
Valentine’s Day 2026
Standard chocolates and roses for this year's photoshoot. With a bonus of William and Euphemia. They wish you a happy Valentine's Day. Or a happy day regardless, if you don't celebrate. Because you can never have too many happy days.
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat gets to dominate humans and the internet with one single pic, and that's that.

For a change, not taken at my local park, because I no longer go there--after being harassed on more than one occasion by teenagers, I've decided it's better to keep away from the place--but at a churchyard in an area adjacent to mine, on a walk I took last weekend.
Plane In The Sky
What the title says. Photographed in Stockport outside the Hat Museum, also known as Hat Works. Stockport is quite close to the Manchester Airport, hence why you see planes flying so low.
Unforgettable Sunset
The second post of 2026--and another sunset! I could not just resist it, as the sunset on Thursday 15 January 2026 was unforgettable. (Admittedly, there is not much to photograph this time of year.) It looks like smoke coming out of a chimney, but no, it's a cloud. Top photo was taken from my bathroom window, bottom one from my living room.
The First Sunset Of 2026
Happy new year! I am posting this on 3rd January, but the photos were taken on New Year's Day. It looks like a good start.
2025 Recap
It's the end of another year and another recap post. I make these on the actual last day of the year, not the beginning of December (what am I, Spotify Wrapped?) The highlight of the year has to 100% be my trip to Rome. It was my first solo city break. While doing things on my own is nothing out of the ordinary for me, this was the first time I have taken a multiple-day trip to a place abroad (or in my case, to a country I don't live in, as I technically…
