WME Flickr Focus: October 2013

Halloween has happened, the bonfires are but a few days away and the passing from October into November means I must inflict another monthly summary upon you, for which I can only apologise. Autumn has not been a completely barren season in terms of photographic updates, so lets see what the recent harvest has had to offer...

Pickings have been piecemeal rather than plentiful but there have been some notable yields on Exploration Extra. Wimbledon Station has sprouted up in my London 2009 selection whilst a set showcasing some Nottingham pictures has also appeared, containing as it does some views of Trent Bridge cricket ground along with Nottingham Station. Our haul also includes a couple of Felixstowe examples (the pier and a vintage bus at a vehicle rally), both of these being relatively new buds having only been photographed earlier this year.

As it turns out, October's crop does include a good handful of 2013 offerings. Aldridge has been plucked for shots of the Avion and the Bowman in order to stock up the WME Walsall larder, whilst WME Staffordshire staves off hibernation with a running board at Chasetown's Church Street halt and a Stourbridge Canal scene near Bells Mill Bridge.  I've also squirreled away a relatively recent shot of the Ashwood pub on WME Dudley, and I must say it is nice to be using some of my more up to date archive material at long last!

The rest of the additions either date from 2006 (as in the case of some Bammot shots from that year's Two Museums event - there's even a milk float in there somewhere) or 2009. The latter comprise a clutch of bus photos sprinkled across WME Birmingham (the 24 at Ward End with the 119 route at Sutton Coldfield) and WME Warwickshire (Leamington glimpses of services 64 and 69). That may well be that, and although the likelihood of some photostream fireworks is probably unlikely this November, I am hoping to dig out a few sparklers to keep us all entertained...
