Shadows across Stockport Road


A tree throws its shadow across Stockport Road.

The Jungfrau hairdressers seemed a good "J" idea for a contribution to ABC Wednesday.

I walked up here a few weeks ago only to discover that the sign over the door had been taken down. Whether the business is changing hands, closing down or just being renovated and awaiting a new sign, I've no idea.

I was going to post it then anyway but as it turned out a more important event needed mention that day so I've saved this for a contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday.

ABC Wednesday: K is for Kingston Football Ground


A rather isolated football ground accessible only by footpaths, seen here from the path leading from the towpath of the Peak Forest Canal.

On the other side it can be approached via the footpath that leads to Jet Amber Fields from Broomstairs Bridge alongside the River Tame.

For more Ks visit ABC Wednesday.
