Send me to the City of Coventry

It was a beautiful Autumn day when I visited Coventry for a photowalk.  I chose Coventry as I had not been there for a while and I wanted to see the old and new cathedrals.  The other monument that I wanted to see was the steel structure that was dedicated to Frank Whittle the inventor … Continue reading Blog

Walking in St Paul’s Square and down Livery Street

Damien Walmsley Oct 3, 2020 2 min read
I love the area around St Paul’s Church and in Autumn it starts to look colourful with the leaves on the ground.  It was one of my stops on my way to walk.  The sky was also very colourful with the sunrise and rain clouds making pretty patterns.  I took a picture down Livery street … Continue reading Blog

I love Kardamena

Damien Walmsley Sep 24, 2020 2 min read
The village of Kardamena was not far from the hotel where we stayed for Natasha and Rob’s wedding.  It is a small resort with an attractive harbour and a big heart.  I was very impressed with the place.  It has many backstreets which are pleasant to stroll through and are relatively cool in the midday … Continue reading Blog

The corona virus almost scuppered Natasha my daughter’s wedding plans.  She and Rob wished to tie the knot on the Island of Kos in August.  The planning started at the end of last year and everything was in place, hotel booked and plane tickets all sorted.  What could go wrong?  The rest of 2020 does … Continue reading Blog

City Arcade – Birmingham’s hidden gem

Lockdown had interrupted by own personal visits to all the arcades in Birmingham. I enjoy mornings when it is quiet and so before going to work, I parked up in town and made my way to the City arcade. In some ways it is my favourite arcade but it has fallen on difficult times. There … Continue reading Blog

My best pictures are taken with my iPhone

Should I be worried? Should I ditch my big camera? My most popular photographs are all taken by an iPhone. My most recent one of Gibb Street in Digbeth has been published by several outlets including BBCMidlands, Independent Birmingham, IgersbirminghamUK, Bhamupdates and Source investments. All very pleasing but I would like to talk about my … Continue reading Blog

Damien Walmsley Aug 15, 2020 2 min read
The months of August are hot during the day and often very muggy at night. We have been through a spell of very hot weather and experienced some dramatic thunderstorms at night. Unfortunately I slept through the worse ones even though I had my camera set up to take some pictures. The next day I … Continue reading Blog

It was a year the Real Flower Petal Confetti Co were beset with problems not only flooding and the Coronavirus but also the first planting was not successful. However they were able … Continue reading Blog
