I know that spooling 120 in this warm weather is a mistake, but I still persist... and need to take a break halfway through. 😄

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that Black Sabbath isn't watching you. 👀🤘

Visited the Ozzy exhibition at the Birmingham Museum, too.

I'm steeling myself to see this film in the cinema, probably tomorrow afternoon.

Even watching the trailer makes me cry.😪

I remember when Maitland was diagnosed with mesothelioma.
I remember his funeral.
I remember him.

All so that mining magnates could get richer. 🖕

I made 2 trips to photograph Ratcliffe power station from a number of vantage points. ⚡️

99% of the photos are digital for my assignment, which I'm still working on.

These are the only two film shots from East Midlands Parkway. 🚉

An angular stairway intersects the image from lower right up towards the top left. In the background are glances of cooling towers of the power station behind the walkway. Concrete cooling towers loom under a sky of fluffy clouds. A street lamp peeks out between the towers

I loved getting my very first #PostcardsFromAfar with a little note included! 📨📮
It arrived while I was away and was waiting in the kitchen when I got home. I don't believe the sender is on bsky, but thank you, DavidNovakPhoto.com. 🤗

A silhouette of a square building with an external spiral staircase next to a large tree under a sky of fluffy clouds. A block of flats in a simple utilitarian style in concrete and glass. In front is a canal and long boat. A mid-century glass office building towering over three bare trees growing on the forecourt. Two tall apartment blocks called The Sentinels stand over all other buildings nearby. In between is a light pole in the foreground.

The brutalism of the New Street Signal Box building with an uber eats cyclist riding past in front of it. The curvy, shiny exterior of the Bullring building under a bright sky with fluffy clouds. Historic, brick building in a Victorian, industrial style with a sign "Rolling Mill" painted onto the facade. In front on the pavement is 2 overstuffed dumpster bins. The classical style facade of the Council House in Birmingham underneath a grey, cloudy sky. A Union Jack flag flutters from a tall flagpole overhead.

In lack of better ideas, the historic Ignacy coal mine is always a reliable photo location...

Underneath a large, cavernous bridge space over a canal. An historic brick factory building on a canal with a brick chimney stack. In the foreground there are a couple of long boats on the water. A 3 level brick building sits on a bridge over the canal. A path alongside the water walks past some historic buildings. A brick bridge over a canal with a tall apartment building in the background.

Totally harrowing but necessary for Australians to view and understand, IMO.

Then, if you're a bit depressed by the subject, you can watch a modern musical road movie! m.imdb.com/title/tt1148...
I frequently get a certain song from this film in my head. 😄

A rear train carriage is shrouded in steam. Looking down an historic train platform. On the tracks is a long set of carriages. On the platform is a man in an early 20th Century outfit. Further down the platform if a large sign declaring it to be "Platform No 1" and a man carries a small child. Looking into a train carriage and 2 small white lamps sit on tables in the window. One lampshade is slightly askew A train platform with a brick building sits in the background behind a set of 2 wooden benches and an old pram full of pots and pans. The pram has rough writing on the side that says, "Up yours Adolf!".

When I first arrived in the UK, in 2002, the Loughborough fair was on, and I visited. 🎡🎠

Here are some photos of the fair taken 23 years later.

Loughborough Fair is in its 804th year in 2025. 🫨

A fair ride lit up in the dark swings up to nearly vertical, holding the riders upside down. Silhouetted fair attendees watch a lit up fair ride. A fair attendant stands amongst the lights and fog of a fair ride, helping folks to get on and off the ride. Silhouetted fair attendees watch on as a brightly lit carousel spins around.
