Walls & Balls

Oooh.. A late entry!

 

[Katherine]

And an even later entry...

Last night I was wondering who had won and thinking that it would be nice if we had a new challenge before my ride today. As the group ride was cancelled because of the weather, it meant that I had the freedom to stop at random. Then this morning, I realised that it's still January for one more day!

So, 2 photos taken in the dry (under the motorway again) of pictures on a wall showing balls being played, then one near Dunham Massey that I liked because of the post box set into the wall of someone's house and lastly a wall that looks like it's a chicane on the Grand Prix whereas it's actually a railway bridge near Culcheth.

I recognise that bridge, there's some nice lanes around there.

Another late entry.......

Well, I've scrolled through the 125 or so posts in this competition and am impressed that quite a few of them actually have photographs within them!
As ever, the standards are high and the variation within the Walls and Balls (and a bike related summat) remit is highly imaginative.

@Katherine Lovely photograph..

@thegreenman That's one heck of an old wall!

@summerdays I love this photo

@Supersuperleeds Loads of Walls

@accountantpete saving up a great one until the last day

Mentioned in despatches, alongside the runners up of the previous fivesome, are:-

@IDMark2 for several excellent photographs, including this one

@potsy for his snowman that looked errr, very errr 'excited' to see him...

@ianrauk for this great photograph.

As I won't be up until midnight, I shall declare the winner now if I may....

Drum roll........
As always, so many wonderful photographs by so many people.

But. It's @Katherine for this late entry!

It's been an honour to hold the

badge and will now pass it on to Katherine...

 

[summerdays]

Well done @Katherine and an enjoyable challenge (now the next challenge is working out how to put the badge on Katherine)

 

[GM]

Congratulations @Katherine, yet another excellent photo, a well deserved winner!

I recognise that bridge, there's some nice lanes around there.

Do you ride that way then?

 

[Katherine]

Wow! Thank you, @PeteXXX for a very enjoyable challenge. There have been lots of lovely pictures, some funny ones and arty ones too.

Back in the morning with the next challenge.

It's so difficult to judge the best photograph. It's like saying what's best.. Cake, ice cream or beer. They're all great, but in different ways.

Looking forward to your new challenge

I'm in Walkden, so when I used to ride regularly I'd gone through Leigh and along the East Lancs before heading round there until I ended up on the A57 in Irlam. Straight along there to Worsley and back home.

I used to ride with the Lancashire Road Club as well, on some of the club runs in to Cheshire we'd head over Warburton Bridge as well.

Sounds very similar to my ride today,except in reverse. I've not posted it yet. Do you still ride at all?

Congrats Katherine on the photo and thanks Pete for a great theme.
