(Not) Saturday Snapshots #2

Polish Parish of Our Lady of Częstochowa, Nottingham

It was too nice a day today not to go wandering. So, armed with nothing more than a camera and a spring in my step I ventured forth. Walking into town this morning was a joy, not a chore. The world looks different when the sun shines; just ask C over at Sun Dried Sparrows

Nottingham Trent University

I took dozens of photos but thought I'd share just a couple with you here; simply to prove to you (in case you were housebound today) that the sun really did shine all day and the sky really was as blue as it looks here. In stark contrast to the first six weeks of this year which appear to have been filmed in monochrome by mistake. Visage could have written a song about the first month and a half of 2026. 

...

I explained last time around that my Saturday snapshots are not to be confused with Saturday Snapshots; that's something else altogether.

  1. Blue skies make all the difference, don't they? Neither of those photod suggest Nottingham to me - the first makes me think of the USA, the second Northern Europe. With a grey cloudy backdrop, they'd both look more UK.

    1. I'm surprised anyone living in the UK has any Vitamin D in them.

  2. Oh, it was just too good not to commemorate the occasion! Many thanks for the mention. Gorgeous photos as ever, John. The colours, lines, composition, you really nail it - and yes, how different to the power station image in your recent post. Back to that again, today, sadly.

    1. Yep, yesterday was an olive branch that was then cruelly withdrawn.
