Lovely set of images David, well rendered, the 5th is my favourite.

Nice shots Cliff, particularly like the first one. The road to the marshes was a bit of a challenge, some of the pot holes were so deep I was afraid of holing the sump on the car but survived OK. Very pleasant spot, must have walked 3 miles and only covered part of it, thanks for the comment.

Rgards,

Hi Howard, how are you?

They passed through Beesten but I don't think they'd be stopping as the station is now disused, in fact It's hard to tell it was ever there unless you know where to look

Cliff suggested Chester and as I'd never been to photograph there I thought I should give it a try, it's difficult to get a good viewing angle at Beeston unless you want side on from a distnce, Llandudno would have been nice, but both of us were short on time.

Chester was not that busy but a few photogs all the same, the light was harsh, hard to get a good exposure without blowing the highlights, I think Cliff resorted to a CPL.

Thanks for the comment regarding the geese, I've not seen a Red Admiral for years but plenty of others, Peacocks etc.

Regards,

John

Spent a very pleasant day in the great company of Cliff-P tosay, we went up to Chester to watch the Llandudno Victorian Festival Steam Tour returning through Helsby where we had a bite to eat and a drink at the very picturesque Helsby station. Setting off home back through Frodsham, Cliff showed me the route to Frodsham Marshes so when I got home and my SO complained about being stuck in all day in this weather and needing some sun I took her out for a walk over at Frodsham and very nice it was to. Took my mind right off all the troubles I'm having at work lately.

Oh just found this, I'll have to check now
