3112 Last Light of 2014

The last light of 2014, reflected in the weir on the River Soar near to the National Space Centre in Leicester.

And that, dear readers, is the end of my 365-day photo project. In this blog there is one photo for every day of the year, actually taken on that day. When I set out, I didn't know if I'd make it this far, but I did!

I won't be repeating the experience, however. It's proved to be in some ways pleasurable, but in other ways to be a form of self-torture. Only one photo ended up here, but often I have taken 100 or more during the day. In fact, I note with some alarm that I've saved and edited just shy of 13,000 photos this year. I've learned a great deal, and no doubt can rework more of this material in slide shows and additions to my Flickr photostream.

Thank you very much for tuning in, and if you bookmark this page, you may well find that it later contains some writing about my experiences as a blind photographer.

Happy 2015 to all!

2812 My Nocturnal Visitor

One of next door's cats decided that a chair in my living room was much more comfortable than wondering around in the frost.

Better slap a preservation order on this - you notice that call boxes are disappearing fast!

2811 Black Friday Shoppers

The madness of Black Friday has arrived from America. We don't have Thanksgiving in the UK but seems we're now having Black Friday.

The day consists of all those shops opening up and selling you things. Er, so what's to get so excited about? True, you might pick up the odd bargain, but make sure it's really cheaper than it was a fortnight ago!

It was a black day indeed; hardly any daylight, even in mid afternoon.

1411 Autumn Abstract

For me, it's not only the changing leaves that make this season special, but the exposed shapes of the trees and the richly-coloured skies.
