Autumn going into winter
It's been a little while since I posted my last set of images here, since none have deserved a dedicated page. So instead of a single page per session I've put together this collection. The page title alludes to going 'into' winter since I'm planning a photography trip soon which will deserve it's own page! Stay tuned.
The Lion Salt Works (2nd September 2022)
The Lion Salt Works is the last remaining open pan salt works in Marston, near Northwich, Cheshire, England. It closed as a work in 1986 and is now preserved as a museum. Wiki page.
Great Budworth (2nd September 2022)
Great Budworth is a village and civil parish in Cheshire. Until 1948, Great Budworth was part of the Arley Hall estate. I went to visit a friend's grave here.

The Photography Show (17th September 2022)
This was my first time visiting the photography show at the NEC, Birmingham. Full of photography nerds; great day out! A good opportunity to see cutting edge gear, see talks from great photographers, and snap some oddities...
Autumn walks
Starting to see the leaves turn and the conkers drop now.
Holmes Chapel Christmas Fair (4th December 2022)
A lovely night of mulled wine*, street food, and general Christmas crap for sale. *top tip: put a shot of amaretto liqueur in your cup... AMAZING.
Shutlingsloe at midnight (14-15th December 2022)
Ingredients for a great night out: -10Ā°C, snow, a cloudless sky, iced buns, jetboil for a cup of tea, and headtorches! Jim and I went out to take photos of stars.
Manchester (21st December)
A mooch around Manchester starting at Moose Coffee on York Street. I can recommend the bacon, sausage, corned beef, and cheddar potato hash. The coffee will take the skin off the roof of your mouth*.
*In a good way.
Finishing off at East Didsbury metrolink.
Dovedale Stepping Stones (24th December)
I always try and go for some exercise on Christmas Eve. I was looking for ideas and remembered my mate Jim gave me a convenient little book of Peak District walks. Dovedale was one Iād never been to and home to the famous stepping stones (see below). It took nearly 90 minutes to get these shots without people in them due the popularity of the trail; nice to watch the World go by.
