A Boxing Day trip on the Tanfield Railway, County Durham.

Half shot on the Nikon D7100, half on the iPhone Hipstamatic app; all in challenging, high contrast conditions. It was a lovely day to get out of the house and into the fresh air, though.

A1, Durham, photography, Psychogeography

A Sunday morning walk on the outskirts of Durham, from my parents’ house to visit the parents of one of my oldest friends.

A wood has grown here in the last 10-15 years, planted by housing developers in what was a field for dairy cows, obscuring the view across the valley to the north west.

Converging parallels: peering down to the East Coast Main Line as it approaches Durham station.

This was once a half-decent pub; now it looks as though the owners have taken Phoenix Nights as an aspirational business model.

Looking West towards Ushaw Moor and Langley Moor.

It were all filling stations around here when I were a lad. Now housing developments, some completed, some on hold for the foreseeable.

Durham, photography, sunset

West Durham sunset, originally uploaded by neilclasper.

Peering west, from the edge of Durham City. Langley Moor, Brandon, Ushaw Moor all somewhere across the valley, beyond the trees that have grown in the time since I lived there.
