I'm not sure what to say about this one - but it seems to work. This is mainly due to the coiled rope and the rather pompous seagull. It would make a good name for a pub, that would: "The Pompous Seagull"

Perfect Feathers
Watching the bird feeder carefully. Patiently waiting its turn. Showing off its perfect feathers. What a lovely creature.

Not everything is black and white. I decided to check the @what3words code for the place I took this photograph from. It was ///apps.identifies.bobsleds. I don't think I'd fancy coming down that slope on a bobsled. Not everything is black and white.

A Hint Of Hope
I don't think my original photo had any colour in it, so I must have added a touch at some point over the last 48 years. Not so much a touch, more a hint - a hint that has been largely ignored by the scene itself.

A Familiar Pint
I've always enjoyed taking photos of pubs almost as much as drinking in them. This picture of Halifax's Ring O'Bells, next to Halifax Minster, was taken over 50 years ago. Much has changed over the last half century, but it is still just about recognisable.
