Thoroughly miserable day here in Yorkshire.

It's been the same here too, just seemed to get darker and darker..

So today's image, not the best I've ever done for the One A Day challenge, but a Cormorant on a old mill lodge just around the corner from my house that I spotted on my way home from town after paying a bill. I have seen them on the River Irwell in the centre of Manchester. To be honest I never expected to see one so far from the coast - we're a good 30+ miles from the coast by road.

 Bit  of an experiment here  ......this is a photo taken of the late  Jane Bown a brilliant portrait photographer who worked  for the Observer  Newspaper  and  who was responsible for some iconic portraits that  i consider memorable ..

I watched  a really interesting documentary that I had recorded from The Sky Arts  channnel  and took a photo of her  on the screen and did a mono conversion .. Usually It's  quite difficult getting rid of lines and a Moire effect  but I was  quite pleased with the result  ...and besides ... I'd forgotten to take a pic for today .... Oh dear  again ..

 Love the  Garage  today  Phil ...  lovely reflections ...
