In my late teens/early twenties I spent a lot of time in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.  Wonderful place. The site of the making of many scenes from Women in Love. Great place for sculpture. Downside was that a late-night drunken stroll would have you giggling nervously about the fact you might just have knocked over a wannabe-Goldsworthy construction.

Whilst being Somewhere Else, I came across a scene that, as I flipped out the screen and made the shot, had me a) glancing nervously over my shoulder for a decades-ago long-retired park warden and b) worrying that I might be guilty of a similar crime to this.

But hey, serendipity strikes…

I’d planned to start a new project today. I’d written down a list of things I was looking for, researched the place, checked the train times on the internet, printed the schedules off, checked the times on the screen on the platform. Got on the train, train went off in the right direction, only NOT to stop at the place I was heading for. So I ended up somewhere else.

It is about this time of year that I rediscover Sitges. Known for its bohemian and gay community, its science fiction and fantasy film festival, and its generally ‘arty’ vibe.

Someone was even shooting a music video yesterday…

It is a place to be avoided at all costs during tourist season, but now it is a good time to go. 28 degrees, few tourists, mainly locals, and places still shut up which is always more interesting photographically. I was there to scout out locations for cocktail bars for a day out with my wife next week.

I was also tempted to engage in my longitudinal research project investigating if there is a link between price and quality in beach-front sangria, but decided to stick to a lonely glass of white wine.

The camera got a work-out as well.

So 5 from yesterday…
