I had a hospital appointment this morning. It was at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. They have problems with parking space and a few years ago opened a large 500 capacity park & ride at the Racecourse.

I took the iphone out on my walk tonight and loaded it with the Hipstamatic app. I walked round the back of town and found this site in a small portion of land squeezed between two properties. It's amazing how anyone can dump stuff in such public places

A shot taken today for my Photo365 project using a Nikon D700 with a Sunpak flash and 105mm macro. The flash was placed to the side of the tap and pointed at the red background (a plastic kitchen chopping board). The tap was set to a very slow drip speed

They looked a bit like aliens. Signs at two mini roundabouts in Worksop, taken tonight for my photo365 project while on my daily walk. I used the Fujifilm Finepix F70 EXR on night mode.

After the first day of Focus on Imaging I was knackered. It's the first time I've been on my feet for a whole day since my ill health a few years ago, and the first focus we've done since 2008.
