This is a photograph I took at the bottom of Gog Hill in Elland about fifty years ago. Because my in-laws were living near the top of Gog Hill at the time, I assume I was about to walk up the hill - which is a substantial climb at the best of times. Of course, the sun always shone in my youth, so we can assume it was warm. I considered retracing my steps yesterday but quickly abandoned the idea and stayed inside instead.

@Davefphotos Thanks so much for sharing Dave! I hope all's well with you. It seems a lot of the old 'tog community are no longer on this platform. Maybe all on insta I guess!

@RobBirkby @natlandawards The perfect leading lines element balance image with a little cool and warm tone to boot.

@RobBirkby @natlandawards Wow that's so good, it looks like a painting rather than real life.

Well, it's 5 years to the day since the passing of my Dad at the hospice. So quite fitting that the @OvergateHospice calendar landed on the mat this morning featuring a couple of my images. Thanks folks, hope it sells well. 🙏

Someone asked me the other day whether I had any photos of the Daily Tailors shop in Halifax - and going through my archives, I discovered I had one - or at least half of one (think of it as a photographic sports jacket rather than a suit). The photo must be one of my earliest, dating back to 1964, and unfortunately, it misses out the main door to the shop. As a bonus, however, it is in colour - I must have been using up the last few shots from a summer holiday film.

@RobBirkby Thank you, I shall note that. Today wasn't overly busy to my mind. I live in a tourist spot and some of the scenic walks here can get very overcrowded.
Amazing picture. Very atmospheric! ☺️

It's so mild at the minute - starting to feel like spring! Here's one from Hardcastle Crags in the spring..going for the jungle look!
