Widnes

Once part of Lancashire and a centre of heavy chemical production, Widnes now belongs in Cheshire and most of the heavy industry is gone. Parking in Widnes is plentiful and FREE! The town itself is being regenerated slowly with new factory/ warehouses, megastores and a new shopping precinct.

Backstreets and Backbeats!

Back doors, money shop and Jay in The Music Stall in Widnes market!

In search of the holy grail…

Image taken in a sandstone cave in Cheshire UK. Blue and green gelled flash each side of the camera and three flashes in the chamber behind gelled with yellow / CTO ( warm ).

The smoke was generated by lighting a small fire and putting damp leaves on it. Seemed a good idea at the time!!! Unfortunately, the cave was filled with dense smoke for about half an hour – which made life difficult!
