Wishing trees

The first time I ever saw a wishing tree was at Ingleton waterfalls - which I shared here on my blog years and year ago in 2009. I didn’t know that wishing trees were a tradition then but having had a quick Google, I now know that its thought to be from the 18th century, where people would put a coin in a tree to rid themselves of illness.

I’m totally fascinated with them and I wonder many things whilst looking at them - who put the coin there, how old is the coin, how old is the tree, how much money is in trees?! And now after my CFS diagnosis I’m also wondering how many coins I would have to put in a tree to rid myself of it haha!

Kirkstall Abbey: Little Details

I’ve walked around the abbey near our house so many times, but every time I always see something I want to take a photo of. Though often I don’t have a camera with me which is foolish - luckily this time I did!

p.s. Anyone remember muchloveanna’s #muchlovemonday - I totally thought of it when I saw the heart <3

Camera: Canon EOS 750
Film: Agfa Vista 200 (Developed and scanned by Take It Easy Lab in Leeds who managed to erase that green tint that I always struggle with when scanning this film!)
Location: Kirkstall Abbey, my fave.

grainy textures

Now that the festivities are over - I can keep sharing all the photos I haven’t shared yet. Starting with these rather gorgeous grainy photos of various textures spotted around Harewood House. Theres something so delicious about a full frame of detail don’t you think? I love them.

I think I may have pushed this film to the edge with using it inside but I really love the grain thats resulted because of that too. Film is a constant surprise right!

single frame: Its what you see

I’ve stood in this spot and taken this photo before - twice before at least actually - I shared those previous photos with a nice little post (if I do say so myself) but today - lets just appreciate that its a good spot for a photo.

Single frame series, as always, inspired by my blog friend Jim Grey
