Suburban sunset - taken by a guest photographer today, Tim on his mobile phone.
And so we wave goodbye to summer- which was so often disappointing weatherwise in the U.K but a unique and memorable summer for many other reasons. The sun often seemed to shine when I needed it most.
All the regular Manchester summer festivals went well, but it is the holidays and weekends away of summer 2012 that I'll hold even fonder memories of: A long walking weekend in glorious sunshine on the Gower coast; Tintern Abbey in the sun and a walk along Offa's Dyke; a daytrip to historic York; another day trip and a 9 mile walk to the amazing Llangollen canal viaduct; 10 lovely days in London which included seeing the Olympic cycle road races; and 10 days down Tywyn, in West Wales. Lucky me - I hope your summer was good (or your winter if you are well south of the equator).
ДО СВИДАНИЯ, ЛЕТО, or "Do svidaniya leto", is Russian for "goodbye summer"- such a moving song from the excellent BBC Russian Language and People series from 1980 that I have never been able to forget. Also at the You Tube channel called Russian for All .
Episode 1 of Goodbye summer. 
Wish I could capture images like that on my mobile - mine are always just a blur!
ReplyDeleteNice colours! I wonder if there is a "Hello summer" I could use - of maybe just "goodbye winter" at least!

I am sad to see summer go as well, but at least we have had an amazing summer of sunshine and hot weather.
ReplyDeleteI been waiting so long to say hello to summer it seems a shame to say farewell already!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteOh, Chrissy, what a beautiful Manchester sunset. You can look forward to those nice crisp blue skies which will appear occasionally. I am, of course, living in 'hope'.
ReplyDeleteGreat image. Yes, telephones did certainly change their abilities. Can't wait for autumn to arrive. Please have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful click!

Super shot Tim, love those colours and a great silhouette of suburbia.
