My picture of the day-Where's yours?

[Rickshaw Phil]

Didn't there used to be a 'Photography Forum' link at the very top of the page, above the Cyclechat Logo?

Currently there's just Junkies/Touring/Wiki.

There did. It was one of several sister sites but Shaun found that some of them weren't growing enough to be sustainable and the Photography forum ended up as one of the ones which had to be closed. The links for the remaining ones (Gardeners Cafe and Cooking Bites) are now at the bottom of the page.

Sorry, not taken today, but on Wednesday

This large item of steel-work is in the car-park, at the pub/restaurant, adjacent to 'Stanley Ferry', where the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal crosses the River Calder on 2 aquaducts (the older dating to 1839, & Grade 1 listed)
http://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Listed-Buildings.html - last image/text.
The 'Lake Lock Yard' details deal with what were the A&C company offices, & on the fields between the Calder & the buildings is a fishing pond, which was once an arm of the Canal (long abandoned/'land-locked') that went to 'L L Y'

The Aquaduct by night



It's a water-turbine, awaiting delivery to a hydro-electric site, at Kirkthorpe Weir (upstream of the Aquaduct)
The tech details; http://www.barnenergy.co.uk/#!kirkthorpe/cblx
The channel for it can be seen in the website pictures

All the holiday-makers have gone now, so I have a vast network of cycle lanes to myself...

I rode back past it this morning, as I was going to Stanley, to watch the first changeover in the Leeds Country Way relay http://www.kippaxharriers.org.uk/lcw-relay.html

The turbine's on my ride/run to work route anyway, so I'll know when it's removed)

I took this one, with the Ribble, to better show the scale of it




First changeover at the 'LCW' relay, by my clubmates

Paul (white shorts) & Mick, hand over to Tim (orange shoes) & Darren




Amanda (near) & Denise arrive

Lovely
I've got the naked version, and love it for its simplicity,
I also had the mt09 for a year, but imo the 07 is better.

Did you sell the CRF250?

Yes, I wanted to keep it but you can only have so many toys!, I did try the MT09 but didn't like it, sold the CRF because I felt the need for speed once again
