See, I told you I ‘ve made a number of shots at this location, so look forward to more exciting skip photos in the coming days! I’m sure you can hadly wait… 🙂
Crust of frozen snow
Atop the bins it slid off
And made my hands cold

I’ve made a considerable number of shots of these skips recently. Some on this roll, and others on the following couple of rolls too. Part of this is down to lockdown restrictions reducing the number of places I can make pictures, but also because I think there are a number of interesting photos to be had in this location. There are maybe two or three dozen skips of varying sizes on an area of land outside a metal recovery firm and, after rain, large puddles form and create further compositional options. The skips are in a number of different colors and, as is the way with such objects, all have varying degrees of rust, dents, and other interesting patina. It’s an industrial “edgelands” type location that may not be to all tastes, but beauty and interest lies in the eye of the beholder.

Approaching the nearby lake
The sound of some geese

I saw this lady as I was walking back to the railway station with my family after meeting my son. It was her reflection in the large puddle that caught my eye, so I quickly stopped and took the photograph.

It’s a shame that I didn’t get the entire puddle in shot, but I was stuck with a 50mm lens, and moving back a step meant the reflected trees moved and the composition lost its impact.
