As the year draws to an end, I am closing my blog on onsightphotographic.co.uk, and continuing occasional stories from behind the lens @ http://www.sillettphotography.com/blog/
I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2019!

Came across this chap in York the other day. The pigeons and squirrels in the park seem to know him well.

Covered the event for the PR Guild, and took a few shots along (and off) the route.

My new website http://www.sillettphotography.com is now live.
It’s oriented more to City of London events as I am becoming increasingly involved in covering guild and livery companies.
My picture of a crow on a cross has been selected as the cover photo for the Dark Art group on Flickr, evidently the most macabre of their 225,000 posts.

A short trip to the Somme battlefields 100 years after the end of the First World War.












On the road for a few days, back up North.
First signs of former heavy industry in the East Midlands.

Sheffield is a city of two contrasting half: the leafy, Victorian west and the East dominated by housing estates with some remnants of industry along the Don in the centre.




After Sheffield, it was over the North Yorkshire Moors to enjoy the gothic charms of Whitby.



If you ever wanted to know what Whitby was like in the 1950s… go to Whitby.









Another ruin on the moors: Rievaulx Abbey

Then it was back over the Pennines to Lancashire.
