Hallgate in Wigan. A quiet backstreet that needs a boost. maybe the new buildings will encourage traders to come back.

Rover. Built in the 60's and 70's from tissue thin steel and little in the way of rust prevention, this is a rare survivor.

This fishing boat looked like it had had a fire. I hope everyone on board at the time is safe, a fire on board any vessel at sea is not something I would like to experience first hand.

The #FrugalFilmProject, August 2025: The One Where We Took The Golden Wonder On Holiday
We generally spend the month of August on holiday down in Meco, which means that most of the time I don't have my Frugal Film camera with me. This usually meansI either I miss a month, or find myself rushing around to grab something in the last couple of days after we get back. This year, though, I have the Golden Wonder, and that little beastie is small enough to carry around in a pocket.

The Earl of Orkney's Palace. Now in ruins, but in surprisingly good condition. It is well looked after by the good folk of Orkney and many of the rooms are accessible. Just needs a roof.

Finished my August roll for the Frugal Film Project last night. My first attempts at a sunset. With Harman Phoenix I and the Golden Wonder (Welta Penti II half-frame Rapid camera). What a stately action pose ...

A portly (generous description) male with multicoloured shorts is bending over looking through the viewfinder of small camera. The scene is taken on the top of a sandy cliff and the view is of a sunset viewed through a patch of grass.
