Spotted this while out shooting something else I had spotted from the road.

So in an effort to get some focus back on the pile of photos which need working through, selecting, trimming etc etc. I am aiming to post at least one (what I consider) ‘good’ photo a week and aiming for something worth sharing on a daily basis. This of course forces me out into the…
