Aha!
I noticed the pictures were coming out too big to fit on the screen. May have found a solution...some experiments about to appear!
Rochdale Town Hall, seen from inside a warm, dry cosy pub!
Yep. That works!
So, these steps leading from the Town Hall up to the parish church were the backdrop for many a drunken, merry exploit in my college days! Also featured in several pintings I did after leaving. They made an impression which became more and more fantastic, in memory, until the pictures were quite seriously, artistically licensed. The photo has taken very little licence.
minimal sheep, somewhere around Caton. (just outside Lancaster)
Now I have to go and find out if my first backup to the new hard drive has worked.
Goodnight :)

What wonderful sheep!!
Yes, the architecture is grand and the stained window....absolutely marvelous.
But it's late at night and you just made counting sheep easy peasy! LOL
I love the sheepies....I think it's the green and blues and dots of sheepies on the horizon. Or maybe it's cuz I think sheepies are too cute?
And I'll just stare at those stairs and get lost in the view.
Wonderful photos, Mig.....but you always share such wonderful photos with us.
OH!! Happy Mother's Day, Mig!
:-)

Thank you I. It's nice to be back albeit with a new slow operating system and an old, flickering monitor :)
And thanks both for saying such nice things about the pictures :)
Got to get on the picture selling thing as soon as I've put everything back on the computer!
'Cuse me? :-P
Don't be thinkin' we're just 'saying' nice things about the photos.
They genuinely are GREAT photos.
And am I the only one who noted the fluffy sheep wool clouds behind the sheepies?
;-)
I certainly wasn't saying "nice things" about those god damn magnificent pictures
no siree bob
I was saying god damn magnificent things about those "nice pictures"
:-)
what I liked about the sheep piccie, as well as the sheep, was the tension added by the line of trees just off centre on the horizon, and the shadow of the sheep to the left
as well as the vague fluffiness of the clouds
and what I liked about the sheep was their solidity
Oh I wasn't thinking you didn't mean it :) honest! It's just nice when you're considering entering the world of commerce to have positive comments behind you :) So thanks again. I lean on you both...all :)
:-)
