Lions and tigers and (polar) bears… oh my!

Another gallery added — this time two dozen or so shots from a trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park in June 2019. I actually have two more sets from YWP that I need to process but time really does seem to have go away from me recently.

I also have another blog post to write, one similar to my Barnsley Glass Works post from last week, that covers some of the work done for YWP’s expansion.

Addendum: Though it’s well hidden, YWP’s news page actually has a populated, subscribable RSS feed. The whole site looks to be a fairly standard WordPress implementation and, though they’ve hidden the feed with the site’s theme, these feeds can be picked out of the HTML quite easily.

Glass Works, Barnsley

A couple of shots from the Glass Works redevelopment in the centre of Barnsley. They’re not that great – I snatched them quickly whilst on the way to the station – but they do reflect the current state of redevelopment in the town centre.

The New Library. It doesn’t look that bad from the outside – however I’ve yet to go in and have a poke around and see what it’s like from the inside. It’s got a silly name though – the ‘Library @ the Lightbox’ sounds very named-by-committee.

Steelwork for the south-west entrance to phase two. Taken on Cheapside outside of the grotty looking Alhambra Centre.

A west facing shot taken from the temporary foot bridge over the railway. New steelwork has been added to the large hole that will eventually form the bulk of phase two. This area will contain the covered shopping area and Cineworld Cinema.

Two more sets added – Porthleven at Dusk (Winter 2016) and Llyn y Fan Fach (Summer 2018) – and I’m now up to 72 images migrated from Flickr. I have years of backlog to get through (far more than ever made it to Flickr!), so it’s fairly likely that I’m going to blow through their new limit of 1000 images in short order.

So I’ve migrated another set of photographs away from Flickr. This time it’s a set of shots taken in the autumn of 2017 around the lovely Kynance Cove in Cornwall.

As part of moving away from other people’s flaky, terms-of-use changing sites (cough… Flickr!) I have started to add various image galleries to this site.

This first – a set of shots I took at the Cotswold Falconry Centre in Summer 2018 – can be found here.

The Falconry Centre gallery was build with w3school’s Responsive Image Grid tutorial for the page’s image grid and the Lightbox functionality is provided by the Fancybox javascript Lightbox libraries.
