Suffolk sunset, 5.05pm today, near Halesworth.

The world may be a terrifying place right now, but as long as things like this still happen, I have hope

Nothing to see here, just a normal night out in Yorkshire...

Beetling around Southwold.

Keeping things shipshape in Gorleston - literally...

An intriguing taste of what could have been - a maquette of Sir Antony Gormley's proposed 120 foot tall Leeds Brick Man, which pre-dated his Angel of the North by 12 years but which wasn't built. The model is now on display at @leedsartgallery.bsky.social.

It's @fingerpostfriday from City Square in Leeds, overlooked by the Art Deco Queen's Hotel.

The end of the mill in Ramsbottom.

British Rail was back, at least for the day, at the East Lancashire Railway's winter diesel day.

The whistling time machine - BR blue 40012 Aureol at the East Lancashire Railway at Bury today. It sounds even better, powering up the hills.

Acceptable in the '80s - and the 2020s. Crewe-built class 91 locos 130, 109 and 101 and their Inter City 225 sets continue to perform for @lner.co.uk at Leeds today.

I think someone took the sign literally...

Swanning around Burton on Trent for #fingerpostfriday.

A streaky Suffolk sunrise, near Halesworth.

Work continues on the #Leiston branch in preparation for the Sizewell C nuclear power station project. The branch begins just north of Saxmundham station and will be utilised to transport construction materials to the work site. Today lineside vegetation was being cleared. @suffolksnaps.bsky.social

Night falls on Liverpool's waterfront.

Passed Easington Colliery pit head cage many times, but today was the first time I've walked up to it. I'm old enough to recall Co Durham having active pits, but as this slips further into history, sites displaying info on their past will be more important to relating their tales.

"Dead artists don't need the money" - a message from an art gallery in Aldeburgh.

Boatyard sunset, Aldeburgh.

Good to see @chuckdalldorf.bsky.social's book on sale at the Aldeburgh bookshop today.

The new footbridge in Halesworth Millennium Green, with 755410 passing along @eastsuffolklines.bsky.social on the 12.16pm Ipswich to Lowestoft.

This #fingerpostfriday sign offers a magical mystery tour of Liverpool...

Nice part of the world for a walk - and the Yoxman is very impressive.

Four randoms from my camera roll round our way.

A very illuminating insight into Halesworth's present-buying habits, in the town's newsagent.

Form an orderly queue for #fingerpostfriday in Cromer.
