Black Country Abstracts

On the way back from our trip up to sunny Ormskirk for the PAGB print championships back in October, we decided to drop into the Black Country Museum in Dudley for the afternoon.  What we'd failed to remember was that it was a weekend during half term, so the place was crawling with families.  As a way of avoiding the heaving crowds I went to an area in the canal basin where I knew there was some interesting pealing paintwork (the ultimate bait for catching photographers).  Because of the dull light I felt that the straight shots were rather boring, so decided to try a bit of camera waving instead.  Does it work?  Who knows, but normal service will be resumed as soon as possible...
