Airbus over Airbus

Got a few frames off of the Airbus Beluga over Airbus FC ground 


 Must admit I was told it would be taking off but I did think I'd hear it before I saw it , ah well at least I had my camera set up ....

CHIRK Aqueduct and railway bridge

Chirk canal tunnel at dawn ( this picture is upside down )

Chirk Aqueduct and railway bridge

I had a job in Chirk on Saturday so got down early and got some photos of this great landmark ( and border between Wales and England ) at the crack of dawn


Interestingly the railway bridge was built highter than the canals to show the dominance of the railways over the waterways ( bit cheeky )  

Further info on link below

Canals and Aqueduct 

HOPE is closed

I spotted this recently . I think it explains very well the state of the economy at the moment ( even if it is only a roadsign )

"Due to economic circumstances the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off"

PRISONER of war camp Pool Park Ruthin ( Efenechtyd )

Grid ref - SJ10455648

As seen from B5105

Taken January 2012

This is the Former site of the Prisoner of War Camp at Efenechtyd outside Ruthin as it looks now
The camp is on land of the Pool Park estate and you can still see some of the earthworks that formed the base of the huts that housed the prisoners 

Many prisoners were allowed into the town and nearby farms to help out as long as they were back before dark

As far as I am aware the barracks and service block complex built c.1943 on Park Road to accommodate personnel serving at the Italian / German prisoner of war camp at Pool Park is now The Valley Arms and New Image Hairdressers on Park Road Ruthin

 Other that that I can't find much more information about the park online

BRITISH Heart Foundation turn Rhyl clocktower red



EXP 1 second F/4 and Iso 100 . Canon 40D 17-40mm

The British Heart foundation have turned the clocktower in Rhyl red to raise awareness of the town turning into a ' heart town '

To get this effect I balanced the camera on a wall and moved the zoom from out to in on a slower shutter speed to get the trailing lights effect
