Roomy Park Bench
Surprisingly roomy park bench close to town centre. Pleasant surroundings, interesting neighbours, many local points of interest. Would suit anyone with plummeting self-esteem.
The White Bridge
I really like bridges and I have come to regard this photograph as symbolic of recovery from a particularly dark phase in my life, i.e. passing from one side to the other. With the help of New Hope, I was in a much better frame of mind.
