Today's walk.....update.

Denbigh mental, January update. Another really dull and wet morning, not quite light yet.
Shot at 800asa and processed with my topaz and corel paint software, interestingly the software has pulled the detail out niceley as the original is extremely dark.

Denbigh mental on a September morning. Not a lot happening there at the moment. The last sale failed to meet the reserve, I think another is in the pipeline.

 

Today's walk....thistles.

Thistles growing on a boundering wall of Denbigh asylum, still not sold.

A beautiful start to the day today, maybe the weather is finally going to improve.
