Swan and DuckOriginally uploaded by mhoulden What noise do swans make? Went out for a walk on Saturday to try out the new camera. After about 3 miles it was so cold that the batteries stopped working, but I did manage to get some photos of rather chilly looking waterfowl. Trying to summon up the… Continue reading Quack and, er

Today’s snow
Today’s snow – 5th Jan 2010Originally uploaded by mhoulden Easier to see on the big version (click through), but I think the girl in the bottom left and the sheer size and number of snowflakes probably sum up the state of Leeds today. On the Twitter #uksnow thing I gave this 9/10. Out the back… Continue reading Today’s snow
Bradford “Wastefield”
Bradford "Wastefield"Originally uploaded by mhoulden The Cheapside “redevelopment” isn’t universally popular…. As well as this there were poems on the hoardings asking why the city had been pulled down, and “construction” replaced with “destruction”. Cheapside is currently a big hole partly filled with rubble. What was there before wasn’t exactly fantastic but at least it… Continue reading Bradford “Wastefield”

Looks like this photo has been shortlisted by http://www.schmap.com/ to go in their next online guide to Leeds: I thought I’d try taking photos and creative commonsing them just for a bit of fun and see what would happen, and if it does get used this would be my first ever published photo. They’re attribution-non… Continue reading Untitled
Autumn
11102009176.jpgOriginally uploaded by mhoulden Kirkstall Abbey and some rather autumnal looking fields, taken from the Leeds Liverpool canal towpath. Still training just as hard as ever, even though the fight I was supposed to have next Sunday fell through because I didn’t get matched. I’ll probably be fighting semi-pro Thai rules (5 x 1.5 mins… Continue reading Autumn

21092009165.jpgOriginally uploaded by mhoulden I was waiting for a lift to BJJ tonight when I noticed this rainbow over Hall Park in Horsforth. More than anything I was just curious to see if it would come out. Seems OK.
