thanks for the replyJE, we used to live in the housing estate behind the Wheatcheaf Pub, in runshaw ave, i know that the railway pub has gone, that was where we had our farewell do back in 73, the mild there was always a good pint, used to go in the Wheatcheaf , to walk home from there was much easier,especially on a wet winters night,yes we get rain out here in AUS, but its much warmer, very much warmer,we think its cold if it gets below say 12c, mind you we do get some very hot days in summer, like 43c, which are not the best,
will post some photos of around here soon, and yes it would be nice to see some more photos of A/Bridge, colin

thanks for these great photos, i used to live in Appley Bridge, 40y ago before leaving for new zealand, and now australia, they bring back happy memories,colin oh yes i have downloaded them for memory lane keepsake,
must admit the canal looks much cleaner now,than back in 73,last time i was there was 1999, cheers colinann

Hi well i bought of these out here in Australia, last year. known here as a 600d, same lenses, and as far i am concerned, they are ok, i traveled around Aus in our caravan, and got some real good shots, NOW i must admit the lenses are not the best, but i would say to you they are much better than P and S, DO as i am doing,learn your camera, what your lenses will do. then ,and only then upgrade to what you need,and can afford, dont forget you can spend
an arm and a leg, on lenses, good luck,and travels,
colin.huytoncol

Hi Briace, the only trouble with your photos is,,they make me homesick, i must admit the pool has sure changed over 40yrs since i left, many thanks for your top shots ,and of keeping me on touch with the changing faces of Liverpool

this seal was in our local river for about two weeks, she was very aggresive towards people, and more so with dogs, as christmas was near she was baited, and was taken back out to sea, the area was Marlo in Victoria,Australia, 14k form Orbost,

thats the closest i want to get t your tonsils

WOW ,,, I am new to DSLR photography, and as much as i admire your work, it makes me realize just how much i have to learn , THANKS FOR THE LESSON

yes i know wooltonm as i come from nearby huyton i used o cycle through woolton in the 50s ,and i must say as far as i am concerened , there was no better place than the pool to have spent my teenage years, i play piano, and played also in a small group at the RAF club in huyton all good fun; its a great report on the beatles, and eventhough i now live in australia, my heart is in liverpool, and always will be,
