A bent and twisted tree (I don't know what species, alas) on back road between Galgate and Caton.

This was one of those lucky spur of the moment captures, where there happened to be a convenient spot to stop the car. It took me twelve shots to get the lighting more-or-less right (it's still not perfect).

Back in the Covered Yard, Lancaster. I came back here because I wanted to capture it on a day when the light through the skylights was brighter - pretty much as it is here, in fact.

The gate of a churchyard in a village near Lancaster whose name I've forgotton (there are quite a few of these and they all have beautiful churches).

Once again, it was the shadows that attracted me.

Albion Ironworks in the Covered Yard off King Street, Lancaster.

I love founr things about this image: The symbol on the door, the one on the window, the graffiti upstairs and, of course, the name of the place. Cthulhu is watching.

Taken in Lancaster Market Hall, where the shadows caught my eye. I converted this to sepia so as to disguise the horribly garish sign of the Everything-a-Pound shop to the right of the frame.

The things on the shelf are brass weights (or at least reproductions thereof) that would have been used by the original market traders.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
