Apologies if you were waiting for last week’s Friday Image that didn’t arrive. That’s because I was doing a bit of a tour around the UK and couldn’t fit everything in.

At the top of the wooden structure is a large wooden triangle. What it’s for I have no idea, but it makes a great subject for a shot. … Continue reading Friday Image No. 178
