Photos 2015

I have learned more and more about using a camera and have been able to put this to good use on many occasions. This page contains photos that don’t fit into any particular category, and links to others that do.

I have become increasingly involved in the area in which we live and the past year has seen some important changes, reflecting the changes in my own lifestyle as I have left paid work. Some photos of the many activities going on locally are on a separate page.
