 Family social distance portrait.

I had the pups over Hardwick Park last night, the park was empty because it was a bit foggy and wet. Emma was out for a walk with her mam and dad they don't live in the same house so where keeping the 2 metres. I love this photo of them I've known them all for years.

Lockdown Silhouette Hardwick Park Sedgefield 

I had the pups over Hardwick Park tonight it was a beautiful night when I was going back to the car I noticed the people that were silhouetted against the strong sunlight. They are all actually social distancing just talking and a different distances from each other and not in a line at all. I love this photo it's one of my favourite photos ever, hope you all like it too.

Swan Lake Hardwick Park - Sedgefield

I have been over Hardwick Park quite a bit this last week or so with the pups. I noticed this lone swan drifting past with the Hardwick Hall Hotel in the background and made a lovely tranquil scene on a beautiful day.

Sedgefield Pottery

I have often looked at this building and thought it was very quaint so while there hasn't been much traffic around I took advantage and took a photo of it. I had toned the image so it looks classically aged which I personally think adds to the image

Hardwick Hall Sedgefield 

I called over to Hardwick Hall this morning, it was a beautiful morning before anyone else was in the park. When I drove down the drive to the hall I noticed how splendid it looked without all the cars parked in front of it. I wish it wasn't the case because of the awful spot everyone is in. I hope this reminds everyone what a great place this is and I cannot wait till it opens again for business and we are all in a better time and back to normal, stay strong and look after each other.... Till me meet again !!

Trees at Hardwick Park Sedgefield 

I love these trees with the two pathways in Hardwick Park with the morning light streaming through them. I have toned the photo so you just concentrate on their lovely pattern of light and dark tones to just show the trees in all their glory.

Silver Birch - Road to the Fells

A cold stormy winters day just off the A66 on the way to Cumbria. You can see the snow on the tops of the fells looking towards Alston area, it was a bright winters day and the silver birch was glowing in the winter sun.

Keith Flint - Prodigy Wall Art. 

Took this photo of this great wall art at gateshead, there was several pictures all along the wall but I feel this one stood out. I haven't seen this wall before and was quite a surprise to see in the town. I love it in black and white it intensifies the subject.

Transporter Bridge Middlesborough. 

Took this today when on the way home from Hartlepool took the scenic route the sky looked quite interesting and cried out for black and white. I personally think that metal work nearly always looks better in black and white.

Dog Walkers Durham City. 

Well here is my first photo of my new project for 2020, who would think that we are in the "roaring twenties" as Tony Blackburn said tonight on the "Golden Hour" radio 2.
I went to Durham for a look about and a bit of shopping today it was freezing but two overcoats warmer if you were in the sunshine.
Took this photo of these two ladies taking their dog for a walk while I was waiting for Elaine outside of Waterstones.

Welcome to my new One Life 2020 Photography Project

One Life 2020 

Photography Project 

Well let's see where this year takes us, as many of you will already know that follow me I have done other photography projects before.
I haven't totally decided exactly what I am going to do this year so it's quite an open brief but as well as landscapes etc I am planning on showing everyday life.
I think I will publish one photo per week for the project to start with but I could possible post more dependant on circumstances. 
I do hope you follow it again because I get a lot of satisfaction from all the comments etc, well heres to another great year of photographs come along for the ride 

Thanks John

Lily and Luna are looking their best and on the look out for some more shots.
Here's to a great 2020 and lots of photo opportunities.
