A meander with my camera
I slept in too late for a swim so late morning I took a stroll out for an hour. I walked south down Scott Hall Road carrying my new Nikon D500 in a camera bag. The sky was cloudy but the rain had cleared away, my intention was to capture the Orange-clad workmen on the old suede factory which is being repurposed. Flats I think! The local PH was called The Skinner's Arms. They weren't there, light wasn't right and nothing else stood out for me. I was feeling brave now and carried my camera out of the bag. I turned left toward Chapeltown Road through Norma Hutchinson Park where I stopped to photograph the repurposed New Synagogue (built 1932) which closed in 1985. Bought by Leeds City Council it is now home to the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. I plodded on up Harrogate Road passing Cantors Fish Bar(not repurposed) which has been frying fish for perhaps nigh on a hundred years: first serving the large Jewish population; now with Fried Chicken added to the menu to cater for a more recently arrived community of residents. I turned left up one of the Reginald's to the Sholebroke's then walked through the long ginnel which took me to Potternewtown Lane then home. I was pleased with what I found on my meander and it was good to get out.
