Casting back to the summer holidays of 2019. These were taken on two trips to Porto and to Afife including the surrounding area (even with a day trip to Spain thrown in as well) . Well worth a visit if I may say so…..

….like spending a whole day of the holidays in Brandenburg’s Wild West Town El Dorado at the cold end of Autumn.

(It really is well worth a visit by the way!)

….. or now you see me, now you don’t!

One of these pictures is taken with the Fuji X100 and post-processed with NIK to simulate my favourite Kodak Portra 400 film. The other picture was taken with the Yashica 124G on Kodak Portra 400. Can you tell which is which?

Week 2 – Bolton

I’d just like to say thank you very much to everybody for the kind words and support given to me after last weeks post. I was a little overawed if I’m to be quite honest as I received more comments, now have more followers and earned more hits in two days than I did for the whole of the previous 53 posts of the past year. I will try to live up to expectations but please don’t be too disappointed if I don’t make it all of the time.

I managed to get home to the north-west of England over the weekend with the family for a short visit. I was hoping I might find a suitable photo opportunity here. Well I wasn’t disappointed!

I nearly called this “Irony” but then I thought the better of it. Suffice to say somethings may, at first glance seem to be a good idea but then if you look closely they turn out to be very different.
