Rainbow (double)
November 8, 2009It was a showery, blustery kind of morning when I went into town today. When a low sun peeped through I just knew there should be a fine rainbow to the north-west. And there it was, hanging over Dalton Road. Look closely and you can see the second rainbow, with the colours reversed, outside the main one.
Autumn by the Dockside, with Sjælland
October 26, 2009Twenty-five years ago the land where Morrisons stands was derelict. I know this because I came up to Barrow on a bus with the combined St Neots and Bedford CND groups to join the CND autumn demonstration that year, and this was where the buses were parked. When the driver asked when we wanted to leave, there was a loud chorus of “NOW!”
(My American friend and I made our way over to Walney for a pint or three of Hartleys in the Ferry, which was a reasonably good pub in those days)

September 30, 2009Rolling down to Rio
June 27, 2009It’s Barrow Carnival day, and the streets are, well, not quite thronged but pretty busy all the same. Unlike the last two years, it didn’t rain although after a glorious week when I was much too busy enjoying the sunshine to take many pictures it was overcast and a tad muggy. Still, it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of these local drag queens.
Ok, It ain’t Rio and it ain’t Notting Hill, but at least you can breathe.
A Variation on an Old Theme
June 21, 2009Abbey Road in the sunshine
June 16, 2009Horses on the beach
June 4, 2009There’s a riding school on Walney which brings a touch of Surrey to these parts; something that may surprise those who don’t know us very well.
I’ve never been riding but I’d imagine that the beach on Walney, coupled with its lanes and grassy expanses, would make it a fine place to ride.
Look closely to see the Walney Wind Farm on the horizon.
