Bridge and tower
Another shot showing the Transporter bridge. The tower in front of it is interesting as one of the faces doesn't contain a clock face. According to the programme 'Coast' when it was built the employers funding it on that side of the river didn't want the workers clock watching, so insisted there wasnt a clock on the face towards them. I'll get around to a shot showing this over the next few days hopefully.

Mima
Last night was the official opening of the new Mima gallery in Middlesbrough, the one where the VIP's turn up. There is to be a firework display tonight and then the gallery is open to the public for a few hours. Normal open starts on Tuesday, so it looks like I'm not going to get there until next weekend. I'm really looking forward to that.
Oh and the shot, it's a similar one to an earlier shot, however this one is in landscape format whereas the previous one was in portrait. This is the windows of the Mima gallery, also showing a reflection of the bottle of notes.

Pipe
Just as you get out of the underpass in yesterdays shot, you see this pipe. As you'll notice it's the same colour scheme. Just you wait until the rest of the development, hotels buildings etc are built in the same colour scheme! Anyway, to the right of the shot in the distance is the Riverside stadium.

Boro skips
I thought I'd have a walk around by the Riverside stadium where Middlesbrough FC play, and also around by the Transporter bridge. You know the one, the bridge that was supposedly dismantled and moved to America in 'auf wiedersehen, pet'

smoke
While starting our walk around Tow Law I came across this view. I liked the way the white vehicle contrasted with the black smoke from the fire in the distance.

Tree and wire
Here's another of those shots showing how a tree has grown to cover over the barbed wire that was fastened onto it.

Apple fall
We came across what was, judging by the evidence on the floor, an apple tree. In fact there were two oe three of them together, in the middle of nowhere. This is presumably the normal situation for the fruit, as not too many people will walk past here on a regular basis to pick it.

Covered bales
Saw this stack of covered bales of hay and thought it might make a pretty decent image. When taking it I initially thought I'd be converting it to black and white as the black plastic looked like it would make a really nice contrast with the subdued surroundings. In the end, I much preferred this version with the muted colours

A little drop of rain
I noticed yesterday that it's lightening up on a evening now. 2-3 hours more light and I may be able to get out and take some shots during the week! Anyway, with it getting lighter, it won't be long before the trees are regrowing all the leaves, and these sparse shots are no more. Well for another 8-9 months anyway.

Zoom
Took this at the same time as yesterdays shot. Because of the brightly coloured brown bush, I thought I'd try something a little different, and so zoomed the lens during the exposure. Apart from a little sharpening, this is how it came straight from the camera. I like the light area behind the bush, and thought it worked pretty well in a surreal kind of way. Don't think I'll be doing too many of these though.
