Sunset over Sutton

I took this photo of the sunset because i thought it looked mysterious. It’s looking out from my bedroom window west through the houses into the horizon. It’s looking over the industry buildings on the edge of where the ancient Sherwood forest used to be. I like it because there is many diffrent colours put […]

Plane tracks and clouds

Looks like one of those pictures where if you look at it long enough something appears

First post from Kirkby group for the project

A few months ago a group from Ashwood Centre’s youth drop-in took some great photos at dusk of some treelined wasteland in Kirkby.  Kirkby was on the very edge of the ancient borders of Sherwood Forest – so this space could well be a remnant of the lost forest!  They used different cameras – some […]
