First post! Really pleased to be on #bluesky . My interest is street photography where I'm currently finishing a series on the North East of England, I also have the privilege to be involved in the wrestling world. #photography #streetphotography #b&w #wrestling #monochrome #canon #portrait #sport
My stamp of the day is a set from Australia 1993. I previously posted one of the set of 6 stamps. You can expect to pay around £2.00 for a used set. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

Stamp of the day is from GB 1924 - these are the first commemorative stamps released in GB. However, here is where I ask a question of the users here with far more experience of stamps. Are these fake? I ask because for 1924 they seem too "mint" #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

I'm not a huge fan of AI but after seeing a really nice poster of a class 43 in cartoon form, I decided to try the achieve the same effect with one of my own photographs of a class 802 at Newcastle. For a first attempt I'm quite pleased. #cartoon #trains #train #railway #photography #newcastle

Decided to add to my UFO collection with these stamps. From Grenada 1978. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

A different set for my collection. These are from Tanzania 1999. A set of 6 UFO's from around the world. Not sure how many UFO themed stamps there are but I'm thinking it might be a nice idea for a side project/collection for me. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

My hometown of Seaham, County Durham. I don't really enjoy taking nature/landscape shots, but living by the sea creates some awesome sunrises. I took these photo's last year. #photography #landscape #canon #nature

Stamp of the day - GB - released 1991 as part of a 4 stamp set to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Ordnance Survey. This particular stamp shows the village of Hamstreet in Kent. Expect to pay around £2 - £3.50 for the set. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

Despite Seaham getting snow just after 0830, managed to get to the train station to get the following:

0658 - 156468
0719 - 158910
0807 - 158849

I'm on my way to spotting every class 156 and 158 in service.

My stamp of the day is from 1968 - East Germany, The Leipzig Spring Fair - whilst the stamp features model trains, it still counts as one for my "trains around the world" collection. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

Happy new year to all. So pleased to have made the move from the other platform. Looking forward to 2026 on Bluesky.

Stamp of the day - Just got these for the price of £3, a bargain in my opinion and to be added to my DPRK collection. These were issued in 1973 on 2nd of August. #stampoftheday #stampcollecting #philately #stamps

I don't photograph much landscape/nature, here are some out and about photographs taken last year. If you ever visit England I recommend that you include the North East. #photography #landscape #canon #nature
