City Daily Photo Theme Day: Best of the year


It's traditional for 1 January to be CDP bloggers' best/fave photo from the past year. But I choose to bend the rules. Here are two photos that I took on Instagram and didn't get to post here on the blog but half meant to.

 Above is Chapel Street at dusk as I trudged homeward from work one autumn evening.It also meets this Skywatch Friday criteria! Honest Coffee Cafe is third building on the left.

 Down at Castlefield on a lovely summer afternoon, I lay on the grass but not on the grass, soaking up rays and reading, while happiness glowed around me, although not much within me at that time.


Further afield, these photos of Central Park in Manhattan in April, the Welsh Cambrian coast in August, Saint Petersburg in September, an arcade in Norwich in November, reflections in Newcastle in December and London in December were others of my Instagram photos that seemed to be popular. Oh, and a happy and healthy 2016 to everyone!

    New York, St Petersburg, Wales, Newcastle, London, Norwich.

    That's a fair mileage.

    What's your carbon footprint Chrissy?

      Of course flight is bad but eating a kilogram of beef protein (about 2 pounds) can generate the equivalent of 643kg (1,417 pounds) of carbon dioxide … in other words, causes more greenhouse gas emissions than a passenger flying from London to New York http://www.onegreenplanet.org/environment/grass-fed-meat-is-worse-than-flying-from-nyc-to-london/?utm_source=Green+Monster+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=552c54253b-NEWSLETTER_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bbf62ddf34-552c54253b-106812805
