High on Gas
I’ve always thought that gigantic gas holders have an innate beauty. Rapidly disappearing they are becoming a rarity to be cherished.
What a difference a bit of motion can make to an image. The gas holder below was captured at dawn from a moving train.

The bollards and street light in this photograph (above) appear to be saluting the gas holders whilst the brick wall appears to be cracking up – perhaps in awe of its Victorian iron neighbours.
Bags, Cups, Glasses, a Vacuum Flask and much more
The Sunday car boot sale was a magnet for bargain hunters. I was amazed at some of the items for sale as I believed they were unsaleable. Who could possibly want to by an unattractive reproduction clock with a broken spring and cracked glass front? Anyway all the thousands of different items bought there for sale were obviously thought to have a potential buyer. Many locals attended the sale but the majority of buyers were from further afield.
