Steampunk

Steampunk also refers to art, fashion, and design that are informed by the aesthetics of Steampunk literature.  Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victoian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk.

Lovely sunny day for these canal walkers and their reflections.

Love the sunny days and the shadows that one can find roaming about in Roberts Park.

 

Today I was walking along the canal when I saw this mural painted on a wall in the allotments across the canal.  It is usually hidden by the trees, so can only be seen in the winter months. Trying out the black and white feature on my camera again.

Experimenting with the black and white feature on my camera with this image of the chimney of the ice-cream canal boat "Are Jay Bargie".

The dog waits patiently for his owner to finish work... it's a dog life !!

The snow has arrived creating very pretty scenes but soon to turn to ice and slush.

 

Spotted mother and child walking through the United Reformed Church yard taking advantage of the snow while it lasts.

A chilly wait for the train... these seats are hardly ever used as they are usually wet with rain, or covered in snow and when it is dry they are as cold as blazes to sit on.
