When I was unemployed I used to walk down to Holmfirth via the road to the Post Office to post what I'd sold on ebay. I would then walk back over the fields and eat my lunch near this barn. I noticed the sun casting these shadows and took the shot. This picture encouraged me to take up photography as a hobby because it's a little bit more interesting than the snaps that I'd previously taken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1569228359672-3B8IGNHOH4WZKJSZSIY4/The+Polish+Girl.jpg Home Page - The Polish Girl I’m exporing Holme Moss to find some waterfalls to photograph. This one is in Ramsden Clough and is easily accessible. While exploring I met a Polish girl and her boyfriend on Black Hills who were walking the Pennine Way and we got chatting about concentration camps, as you do. She, I didn’t know her name, had visited some and thought that they are a good memorial to those that died. My mother, who live in Austria during the war, which was first invaded by the Nazis and then the Russians, is of a different opinion. She is in favour of memorials but thinks that the camps themselves should be destroyed and not be left as tourist attractions. She told me about helping the people in the camps by passing food and clothes to them through the fence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1584741244464-SXZUOZ90SRUKFUN90QOE/IMG_0160-Edit-3.jpg Home Page - Meltham Mills Swans In 2018 Swans returned to Meltham Mills Reservoir for the first time in 50 years and they are still there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1561645451155-F3FZEGXRFOAJ40OB89B4/IMG_0062-Edit-2.jpg Home Page - Every Four Hours This little lamb is called Jeremy but he has earned the nickname “Tiny, Shouty Lamb” because he is very small and very loud. Peter is bottle feeding him every four hours because he is too small to feed from his mother and his two older sisters who are much bigger than him bully him. Tiny Shouty could be the smallest Soay lamb ever? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1591718460753-24UPNO73KMDCD3ACEAS9/Columbine.jpg Home Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1551437990002-QZSIH8UWGQKJRBY50YW8/Holme+Moss+with+Stile.jpg Home Page - Holme Moss with Stile This image was taken from above Ramsden Reservoir looking back towards Ramsden Clough. This was nostalgic for me because I hadn’t been here in over 20 years. I used to come here often with my parents and my eldest son when he was a toddler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1566825461326-CTCFPB648XEKWHG49L19/First+Time+in+50+Years.jpg Home Page - First Time in 50 Years. Swans have returned to Meltham Mills Reservoir for the first time in 50 years, one adult and several signets. I hope they enjoyed the sunset? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1569228539824-8M29SNZVUOS15PC8ZJA3/Howard%27s+Photos.jpg Home Page - Howard’s Photos This week I have been mostly photographing trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1561639948044-YQQJ1ZZ25G23QTEDL6L8/Down+the+Lane.jpg Home Page - Down the Lane The lane is Ward Bank above Holmfirth. It had snowed again so I was out before dawn to capture some images. I bumped into Andy Leader who is a well-known local photographer and, after speaking to him, I realised he’s a decent chap. It turns out that our sons both work at the same place and we have several acquaintances in common. Small world. Earlier I’d fallen on the ice, slipped down a bank and twisted my knee which is still very painful, but, luckily, my camera was fine. Andy is not on YouTube or Instagram, but you can find him on Facebook as “Made in Holmfirth”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1546854582027-LNXRO7KCSN23U27QLZRJ/Castle+Hill.jpg Home Page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1546951589141-LHORCD4L1VSOZKPPRQE7/Cornucopia.jpg Home Page - Cornucopia This is a view of Elysium Barn in Hades above Holmfirth. One of the symbols of Hades was the cornucopia, also called the horn of plenty, a symbol of abundance and nourishment and there certainly is an abundance of good compositions to nourish me here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1710074839960-KRVG2URXBEKX6CVTCA2Y/Fifty-Five.jpg Home Page https://www.howardallen.photography/blog daily 0.75 2021-01-13 https://www.howardallen.photography/blog/2021/1/13/lost-in-translation monthly 0.5 2021-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1610544892788-C0YANG2P3CVDDKON9G4N/Lost-in-Translation.jpg Blog - Lost in Translation Lost in Translation https://www.howardallen.photography/about daily 0.75 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1567863459630-G6OMCH12M0117HWOV0MZ/Untitled-1.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1546861867042-HU0R7CYXUBM2LU6P21Q7/Mr+Happy.JPG About Mr Happy https://www.howardallen.photography/water-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/black-white-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/winter-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4b5a75c258b44ae7bfc0e7/1583051596726-BJ4P5ABCGR12J7Z31AMZ/Cornucopia.jpg Autumn https://www.howardallen.photography/instagram daily 0.75 2020-03-02 https://www.howardallen.photography/winter-2 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/reservoirs-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/sunrisesunset-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/contact daily 0.75 2020-03-02 https://www.howardallen.photography/holme-valley-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/trees-1 daily 0.75 2020-02-29 https://www.howardallen.photography/flowers-1 daily 0.75 2020-06-09 https://www.howardallen.photography/new-page daily 0.75 2021-01-13 https://www.howardallen.photography/seascapes-11 daily 0.75 2024-03-10
