UNBELIEVABLE!

Worm at Cox Green

WASHINGTON STAITHES / COX GREEN

I found this River Wear scene as a small, low-quality, grey image and decided it was worth sprucing-up.
I increased its size; altered the light levels; sharpened the image; and added a slight tint.
I did NOT alter the composition.  Nothing added.  Nothing taken away.
Then I saw the Neck ... and the Head.  Unbelievable!
( Sorry, I can't offer an explanation. Jim )

 

Smile Everybody!

Lambton Trough

Lambton Water Trough,  Autumn Pansies and 'You Know Who'.

Keith Cockerill's 'Lambton', salt-glazed-stoneware Trough, could be 19th Century.
It was originally made as a 'water or feed' trough for farm animals.
JJE inscribed on its side - probably the Potter / Maker.
