I have just got back from visiting my grandparents. I came back on the train from Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly. It was a very slow but trouble free journey. I spent this morning photographing various locations around the town of Nantwich. It was probably the first time I got a chance to explore the town on my own and saw some very interesting architecture. The building in the photo below was originally a pub but now has been converted into a restaurant. It has a very interesting and old example of a horse mounting post (not exactly sure if that is the right name for it) but it was traditionally used to aid customers in climbing on and off their horses. Obviously it is very old and can be just see at the very right side of this photo, the three steps are extremely worn down due to hundreds of years of use.

This afternoon I visited the lovely little village of Wrenbury in Cheshire. It was recommended to me as it has a very interested scarecrow competition throughout the village this week. There were close to 130 entries to the contest, which was organized by the local primary school. There were some very funny and well thought out entries and it gave a very strong sense of a community throughout the village.

After a lengthy shopping trip in Manchester we took the tram to Salford Quays for a meal. I was hoping to go on a little photo walk and capture some interesting sunset shots but I decided that I was too hungry and had to eat something. When we left the restaurant we were waiting for the Metrolink tram back into Manchester and I had to capture this sunset. The sky light up with some amazing colours, the foreground isn”t very impressive but for a photo captured at 9:35pm in this part of the world I am pretty pleased with it.
