Been a bit busy in these last couple of weeks different locations out and about so here goes ,
Had a morning down at the Belper mill after the peregrines falcons  but the weren't playing , So it was the gulls 
 had some Fun taking these 
Had a hr having some fun with these then decided to put the big lens away and do a bit of landscape with M3
Belper Strutts mill, windows

Some think keeps drawing me back to this style of photography
Plenty to see and take down here
More windows , plenty of history down here 
Belper river Gardens ,great place 
Id finished doing landscape put the camera away and though just a couple of shots with the room again couldn't resist it ,

   Got home and was told where off for a walk up to the dog at Pentrich the place of the revolution
   so off we went
Under the bridge over the green way
Foot path up to the green way , must have a walk this part

Saw Tuesday nights film starring Liam Neilson it got me thinking about a sunset id seen at Belper cemetery , 
So off i went with nothing else on the calendar what a great way to spend a Thursday evening 
 
looking over towards Belper Lane end and Ambergate 
over looking Belper mill and the Chevin
footpath through the woods 


stunning sunsets ,it was great sitting there watching the sun set and listening to the sounds of the birds 
lots of wildlife in here as well also Belper council do a great job of keeping the cemetery in great condition
