Remains – Ford House
Month: April 2019
The remains of the old Ford House in Prestbury, Cheshire. I liked the shapes, texture and tonality in this image and I think there is always something quite intriguing about the exposure of the interior of old buildings in this way. Ford House has since been replaced by a three story block of a flats that authentically recreates the architectural style of the original. Sadly, old Ford House succumbed to several years of neglect and was ultimately declared to be unsafe.

Spring Blossom
Month: April 2019
Beautiful spring blossom seen at Orchard Lock or lock No 11 at the Bosley flight in Cheshire. I was not sure if this is a variety of apple, pear or cherry blossom but I suspect it is either of the latter two. I was cycling to Congleton from Macclesfield along the Macclesfield canal towpath with the primary objective to photograph the impressive railway viaduct a little further along from here. The pics of the viaduct were just OK but I had the wrong lens and could not get a good composition so will have to try again.
