Thanks for the tip. Having only just subscribed to Apple TV, we’re only now catching up with Slow Horses. I know. Behind the times. We’re at the cliffhanger for series one (end of episode 5). Last episode of that series being watched tonight … so no spoilers, please 🤣.

Stunning stage adaptation of The Railway Children at @worthvalley.bsky.social as part of the @bradford2025.co.uk year of culture. This is the scene where the rail disaster is averted. Brilliant immersive theatre in the round. A 10/10 performance. Fabulous afternoon.

Lovely photos … but £4200 (UK) is a tad outside of my reach 😀

So did Stretford lend you to Larne as their best player in an act of sportsmanship, or did they “send ‘em Groom” in an act of gamesmanship? 🤣

Spent a wonderful evening in the #Perth museum here in Bonnie #Scotland this evening, sampling whiskies from the #Macbeth collection - linked to a fab exhibition about Macbeth (the real person) and that of Shakespearean fame. Stunning - particularly the #Clyneslish, the #BenNevis & the #Laphroaig!

I have the 12-45 by default of it being bundled with my OM-5 here in the UK. I thought I’d crave the f2.8 of the 12-40 but no, more than happy with the results. It’s also a more compact lens, though as you know the #M43 is a boon for portability and handheld at all times 😀

Spent today mooching up and down the @worthvalley.bsky.social KWVR heritage line, complete with a ploughman’s lunch version of afternoon tea in a Pullman carriage steaming to/fro. Wonderful day. That, and messing about with the art filters on my OM-5!

Ditto. I couldn’t understand why. Trouble with the NYT games app is you have to think in American. Not easy for the Yanks, let alone the limeys 🤣

Mark P @markpearson.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

I ran your photo of the original slide through ChatGPT and it thinks that the handwriting says “Auf (On) Mount Baber” (Alabama). If the car is American and so is the registration plate, would this make sense. Googling the mountain range gives an impression that it could be correct?

The reason why Kent C, advertised a £350m agency “contract” - not really a contract, a ‘framework’, is it arranges ‘frameworks’ that the wider public sector can access and it has to advertise the maximum potential value over a the maximum duration for the agreement. Not rocket science, procurement!

Typical Victorians. No forward planning for the need of a 21st century photographer for symmetry. Funicular building not in line with pier building 🤣. Saltburn by the Sea, North Yorkshire.

I love the OM5 over the 10. My favourite is the 20mm 1.4 pro, as a prime makes you think about composition. My second favourite lens is the 8-25 4.0 pro, if wandering around a city and popping into museums. Wondering about the OM-3 … when the initial demand has died down, but the OM5 is a delight.

Do. They’re of similar architectural heritage, so I guess Huddersfield will be the easiest for you both. If you like Middle Eastern food, combine it with a visit to Med-One, just around the corner in the town centre. One of the best informal Lebanese eateries and reason alone to visit Huddersfield!

Mark P @markpearson.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

We pass it from time to time but I’ve never thought to look at it from a photography perspective. I find both Huddersfield and Preston bus stations are brutalist, architecture-wise.
