Another day indoors (must buy some waterproofs!).

With the weather dismal, and forecasts for severe winds and 20-40mm rainfall over the next 24 hours, our workshop stayed indoors (again) and we made the most of taking abstract/macro photographs of the artwork available to us in "The Space", Cannon Street, Preston.

Here are just a few of my shots (credits to the original artists will be added next week!).

In and around the city centre . . . . .

A few shop signs along Cannon Street in Preston City centre, just along from The Space Art gallery.
'Reflections on a guitarist', or 'Reflections of a photographer', the choice is yours. This idea was scuppered, in some part, by the gallery windows being double glazed. A 'brush stroke' effect has been added in post-processing.
Colourful wall with broken first floor window, above a former (?) Mexican Restaurant in Preston.
Caught this chap, at full zoom, last night (in a grave yard) - this is also quite a tight crop.
