Picture of The Day June 2010

[Ronijayne]

I have noticed on my frequent visits to canals the wives or girl friends do all the hard work, like opening lock gates, while the male just steers the boat

I asked Matt yesterday. It really annoys him that this does indeed happen, like the woman can't steer the boat. He said it annoys him to see woman and girls of all ages at those heavy locks when there is at man sitting at the steering wheel. He recons this is why many of them are so fat!!! He does his and his wife steers, he said it is his exercise!

June 8th will be the next one by my reckoning then? One photo per day - doesn't it have to be your own???

I took the ones of the Liverpool ship Wavertree in South Street Seaport the afternoon before I put it up here.

Hi Kev

The Wavertree Monks' Well photograph was taken by me in the Sixties, when I took a number of black and white photographs of local historical sites. They vary in quality but I like this one because it has the two Liverpool lads in the photograph one with the mucky face and the other evidently picking his nose. I'll be posting more in coming days. I think the square b & w pics were taken with a Kodak Brownie camera that I acquired about 1964. I later graduated to a Russian Zenith 35 mm and then a Pentax 35 mm that I bought second hand at a shop on Manchester Street by the Mersey Tunnel entrance while I was working as a temporary clerk for Liverpool corporation in 1967. I have a number of color slides that I took with those latter two cameras that will need to be converted to jpegs to post.

All the best

Chris

Fantastic Chris

Cheers,

Kev

How do you upload images you have taken?!

I've tried, but on the 'Insert Images' icon you can only attatch images on the web. Is this right or am I missing something?

Drop them in something like 'photobucket' then it is simple or you do the IMG thingy
