rustic fences & and sepia sheep.
A photo I took on Saturday in the middle of Halifax's 4 day International Street Market. More images https://zimnoch.smugmug.com/Dropbox/Halifax-7th-May-2016/ |
As a child West Yorkshire sheep were sepia due to all the pollution from the mill chimney smoke. Whenever travelling, i could exactly calibrate distance from home , by the ever changing shades in their fleece. Essentially,Yorkshire sheep were the first SatNav's............

ßringing a painting into safety.
My take on this week's prompt ("bringing a painting into safety") is how do we rescue from our collapsing world what we need to preserve ?ake personal remains our own....
Sometimes that is harder than it sounds.Solid monuments might dissolve into sand & trickle through our fingers.........

ironically ,April 1st
Maude the Tigon Her father was a tiger. Her mother was a lion.
She lived in Belle Vue Zoo between 1936-1949.
When she died her skin was preserved & given to Manchester Museum.They kept it hidden in a drawer for 50+ years.
In 2015 a local taxidermist mounted what she left them......dear Maude is now on display. (trust me,she looks happy enough,but her eyes sure do follow you around the room....!)
Me & Cath went into Manchester today. Here are some photo i took........
Me Cath & Chris have lived in the same house in Hebden Bridge for 30+ years.This year we leave it.No doubt this will be a theme as the weeks & months unfurl..Stay Tuned Folks!

A mistress of something she thought...........
I was up in Mixenden Library this morning.Holly Lynch ,the Labour MP for Halifax , was there for some sort of Coffee Morning gig.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_Walker-Lynch
We thought it might include a Q&A session...but nothing materialised
Comrade Ken Kersley was wanting to ask her why she had thought bombing Syria to be such a good idea.But no opportunity to discuss such issues......... .........nice Coffee though !
& nice to see James again.
I also got an opportunity to get a sneak preview of a film documentary called "Archipelago" recently shot in Mixenden ; commissioned by Manchester University and heavily featuring Ken .. It gets it's first public showing locally very soon.I feature a few "stills" from it here......https://zimnoch.smugmug.com/Dropbox/Holly-Lynch-MP-Mixenden/

The Last Resort: Martin Parr.
via: Artsy
In 1975 Parr moved to Hebden Bridge where he would complete his first mature work.
He was involved with the Albert Street Workshop, a hub for artistic activity which included a darkroom and exhibition space.Parr spent five years photographing rural life in the area, focusing on the Methodist (and some Baptist) non-conformist chapels, a focal point for isolated farming communities that in the early 1970s were closing down.
He photographed in black-and-white, for its nostalgic nature and for it being appropriate to his celebratory look at this past activity. Also, photographers at that time were obliged to work in black-and-white in order to be taken seriously, colour being associated with commercial and snapshot photography.
His series The Non-Conformists was widely exhibited at the time and published as a book in 2013. Critic Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, said "It's easy to forget how quietly observational Parr was as a black-and-white photographer
