This week my B&W photo is a look upwards from the bottom of Bircham windmill in Norfolk. I popped along for a visit in September and I'll share more photos from that visit during the week.
In this photo I like the textures of the tiles, the wood and the sails (if that's the correct terminology?) and yes, that blob is a bird also admiring the view! It's perhaps not the view you'd expect of a windmill, but it's one each of us would take if we were stood at its base...
To see more photos and to learn more about the windmill pop back on Tuesday - see you then!
Love this 50: Yellow Submarine tea infuser
I'm a child of the 70s and when I saw a yellow submarine tea infuser while browsing the web it brought a smile to my face as I thought of a favourite childhood toy. That childhood toy was a metal yellow submarine so not so good for brewing tea, although back then I probably didn't like a nice cuppa as much as I do today!
I still have my old metal yellow submarine too, somewhere. I'm sure I have. Even though I've been unpacking boxes I haven't unpacked that yet. I know it was a well loved and well played with so it's unlikely to be of any monetary value as while it's not in OK condition, it's not pristine. The value for me is in my memories, so all together now...
"In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea, and he told us of his life, in the land of submarines...
...We all live in a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine...."
Black & White photo 19: Durgan village
After a brief respite for a visit to the #TowerPoppies, this week we're back at Glendurgan. Or more specifically the small village of Durgan at the bottom of the valley on the Helford River. After our stroll through the gardens to the village it was great to nose around the small village, especially in the boat sheds. As well as nosing around we sat on the beach wall for a while watching the river, and of course, the other visitors!
Glendurgan has been a good source of black and white photos - this is my third from there - if you missed the others, also see:
