Keeping In Step with Happy Memories From the Past sent on November 24, 2016 (10:04) by Timk2. 20 comments, 1345 views. [retina]

at 50mm, 1/80 f/5.0, ISO 200, hand held.

Mural outside a day care centre for the elderly. A very minor image but one that appealed to me. After the ultra cool colourful street art of Brighton and on my way back home from photographing a stunning old Minster Church, I had to change buses in one of the rather depressing modern suburban sprawls that have a large percentage of the retired and elderly as residents. This very boring run down 1960's building did have this rather lovely mural outside which I must admit, if I were 80 years + would certainly make me feel really rather at home and welcoming.

The elderly can remember "the good old days" every time when they see this. :-P:-P

Absolutely Jypka, my thoughts entirely and thanks very much!

As your your writing suggests, this does have a 'feel good' factor!

It's a shame that I was unwell whilst you were visiting the minster - it would have been very easy to meet up there and maybe I would finally have got a photo of that ceiling that I could be really happy with. I must admit, I haven't tried in a while - maybe I'd do better now!

The bomb was detonated as planned - I heard a bang and the briefest plume of smoke.... not very dramatic photographically speaking!

Ann :))

Thank you Ann. This was at Ferndown, I found out (after getting bus from Bournemouth) that I could save half the journey time back by changing onto the X6 Poole-Ringwood bus at Ferndown. (Even that bus seemed to go around every single housing estate and cul de sac in West Moors, Three Legged Cross and Verwood. It ran late and so missed the connection for Salisbury in Ringwood. So, it did save some time but still a pulava. But worth bearing in mind if I ever consider a return. I had 20 minutes wait in Ferndown and so had a little wander. I sense that this care facility might be for
sufferers of alzheimers.


It was unfortunate that I decided to revisit to Wimborne after two years (Jul 2014) for the first time yesterday but as know, I was wanting to go on a bit further than just Bournemouth and with very limited cash and with weather outlook bleak, thought it'd be as good time as any to revisit the Minster, with newer camera and slightly faster lenses. These were already packed from Winchester yesterday. I'm not too sure if I would have been brilliant company anyway and knowing that you weren't 'available' meant that I was not tempted to text you "guess where I am!"

I was told by the current exhibiting artist in the Minster that the blue ceiling is "unphotographable". I say now that I will post up here on Juza my 2016 version of the exact same as my 2014 one, maybe tonight or in the morning. My best and favourite part though, was the Crypt, which was inspired by you, for which I thank you, I didn't seem to have gone down there last time - I had lots of fun down there with the 10mm!!

I suspect that it was the intention of the detonators that it was not 'photographically dramatic'!

By the way, I got full permission to photograph and put between 2 and 3 quid in change in as a donation. I was in the Minster for about two hours, whilst the organ was tested - not a very easy listening experience! I had lunch at The Man in the Wall (Whetherspoons, so, cheap!) then the sun came out a little so got some nice exteriors of the Minster with late autumnal colour. Any thoughts on exploring the town further were abandoned.

My favourite part is the crypt, too - a wonderful array of arches! I always look out for a crypt in old churches - they are often quite special places.

I, too, have asked permission for photographing in the minster - it doesn't seem to be a problem. The Man in the Wall is a good place to eat - as you say, a resonable price but also quite a nice environment. Wimborne's not a very big town to explore....

Ann, I liked your wisp of bomb smoke in the extra, little wonder you did not make it your main posting! If ever an image needing an explanation!

You're probably right, Tim. I'm not really thinking straight today. Having to function but head really too befuddled with cold to do so. I haven't felt this bad in a long time, so am probably making more fuss than it warrants.... :)

No, it's me pumping up the excitement, shows how sleepy your part of Dorset is for such to make major news!!

I've not been out today except to get the weekly shop in, decided to put all efforts into a good walk somewhere high up tomorrow. (And to take the 400mm zoom).

Colds I get feel like my head has been filled up with liquid concrete, removed, shaken and then put back on the wrong way round... so I know how you're feeling....!

I guess it is pretty sleepy here but I love its quietness and the fact that there is such a variety of places I can visit - be it town, country or coast - within easy reach (by car, that is!). I only want the 'town' part in small doses though!

Tomorrow's supposed to be a beautiful day, so it will be a great day for you to get out and get some walking in. I'm hoping I'll feel able to go out for an hour or so, if it's not too windy. I'll look forward to seeing what you bring back!

To use my week's bus ticket today, I COULD get a bus out locally and get a night shot, as the sky is set to clear throughout the evening. I should really, tell me, I should!

You should! As long as it won't spoil your enjoyment of tomorrow.....
