Chester Day Out

Cliff(GX10Cliff), John(John941) and I had a great day out in Chester yesterday. Good company, good food but the light was not quite right unfortunately. The main purpose being to see this

and then have a wander round the city and by the river

and a perfect example of how one should be careful when taking a photo - I find this quite amusing a morris dancer with a lamp on his head.

C&C welcome

Over to you now Cliff and John.

Cheers

Howard

Yes Howard a very enjoyable day indeed although my old knees and back did some complaining later on

Very disappointed with my images of the Duchess, With the bright sun behind her glare was a problem for me, but you seem to have done better Howard. Anyway here`s some of my efforts for the day. (still cant decide if that Morris dancer is a he or a she)

HJ himself. We had a bit of trouble persuading Howard to take his coat off yesterday, I think he must have a load of fifty pound notes stitched in the lining!

Some top shots here gents - Nos 2 and 3 from Howard, and Nos 1 and 3 from Cliff.

So while some of us were chasing Goths in Whitby at the weekend you guys were enjoying yourselves in Chester. You got some good shots, I love the humorous ones. As for the black Duchess, I'm waiting for it to come a bit nearer to Durham (Carlisle perhaps?) and then I'm determined to snap it. You managed to get good pictures of it, despite the angle of the sun.

Well the next time the Duchess is out is on the 8th may I think David, Crewe to Carlisle and back. Chester was a great day out and it looks like you guys enjoyed the Goth thing as well.

Hello Cliff and Howard,

Great three-quarter shots of the Duchess, both of you and I like the Morris Dancer and the birds lifting off.

I can't see a problem with the Sun in your Duchess pic, Cliff.

I had wondered about going on the tour, as it originated in Lincoln and came through Nottingham but thought that it could not live up to the trip I took behind her over Shap last year.


Regards
Peter

Thank you all for your kind comments.

I did take my coat off - in the car on the way home So, Cliff, if you find any £50 notes in the boot they're mine Hope you all noticed the fashionable baggy trousers

To get my own back (not really) here's one of our Cliff in action on the bridge.

A lot of work in psp Peter to get the image looking what I thought was something like right. But here is another image
untouched, see what you think.
