Black and white photo looking down towards an almost still pool of water, with ripples caused by water birds, including a white swan at centre left. There is a small island whose trees look almost white. The top half of the water is dark from reflection of the hill on the far side; the lower half light, reflecting the clouds. It is peaceful.

If you're asking me which immigrants made the greatest contribution to Manchester I'd say it was the Flemish weavers back in the 1300s.
It was their skills which first turned a small backwater into a textiles boomtown.

But footballers are also welcome.

Street photo of a JCDecaux bus shelter at a roadside stop, with bare winter trees, traffic lights, and cars in the background. The backlit ad panel shows a large poster of a male footballer in a red jersey seen in profile, looking left, with rain-speckled glass and street reflections across the image. Bold white all-caps text on the poster reads: “IMMIGRATION HAS DONE MORE FOR THIS CITY THAN BILLIONAIRE TAX DODGERS EVER WILL.”

Colour photo taken into the sun at a road junction with a black and white striped finger post headed Warwickshire CC, pointing to Rugby, Leamington and Stoneleigh. Just behind the finger post is a substantial tree trunk wrapped almost to the height of the post in bright red poppies. Behind is a silhouette of a first World War soldier behind a sign reading "Lest We Forget". There are more poppies stuck into the grass on this triangular piece of ground, amongst the trees.

For #Fensterfreitag #windowfriday a photo from the dim, distant past: the dome of the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria, taken in March 1970 using my #werra 1 camera and #ORWO NP20 film. I was working in Sofia and we were on our way to Thessaloniki for an Easter break […]

Portrait format black and white photo from a severely damaged negative, showing a dome in the left side with a cross on top. There are windows around the side of the dome. Behind is a forest and above is mountain peak just peeking out of the clouds!

Hidden house. I often drive past this house, hidden behind its white wall, and it's always seemed fascinating and mysterious. It's very tricky to get a satisfying photo though. This seems about the closest so far.

Silver birch trees stand in front of a white wall hiding a mysterious house. Yellow leaves are scattered over the grassy road verge.

It would be nice if there was a bigger effort (or a more obvious effort perhaps?) to tabulate and publicise the considerable economic costs arising from global temperature rises, including flooding, landslides, droughts, heat waves, sea rise, land loss, and the death and misery associated with […]

Portrait format colour photo of a stone-paved lane curving to the right, lined with two-storey stone buildings, many with plants out front. An ornate lantern is attached to the wall upper left, and a tall tower with a clock and pinnacles on top is visible beyond the lane. A few pedestrians are visible, including a person in a blue suit walking away.

Grand Union Canal 6. Once again back near the entrance to Shrewley tunnel with the walking group. The value of a pocket camera! #towpathtuesday

Colour photo of a wide canal in a sunlit cutting. The leaf-strewn towpath is on the right, overhung by a tree with a mixture of green and yellow leaves. In the distance is the dark arch of the tunnel, and nearby a group of walkers in colourful jackets about to climb the incline towards thei own short tunnel.

Circus Lane 1. A mews street, built for chauffeurs and staff of the big houses of Royal Circus. It's also one of the most photogenic streets in Edinburgh.

Colour photo of a curved, stone-paved street. A person wearing a pink jacket walks away from us, while in the distance another person walks towards us. This is a mews street, with many garages incorporated into the low stone houses, many of which have plants out front. A yeallow rose takes up the right-most part of the frame.
