Photographing my travels

Black Country Museum

An unplanned day out to the Black Country Museum meant lots of photos to process on my return home.  Pauline, Glenys and I had a happy five hours on Saturday 15th September wandering around the Museum.  A wonderful place to visit.  These are my memories.


The steam only makes an appearance on certain days so we were lucky to have the steam in the photos.



Shame about the jeans

Had to remove a few people from this image.

Taking a break





I could have stayed at this spot for hours - so many images to work on.


I know, the red doesn't work but it is quite jarring so I left it in on purpose.

















I am sure we will be paying another visit.  We didn't see everything.  I enjoyed using my new (second hand) lens - 70-200mm Canon.
