Stafford by the sea

Stafford play-pool

Welcome to Stafford Beach!
You may know that Stafford is about as far from the sea as you can get in Britain, but that didn't stop Stafford Borough building its own beach and water-play area in Victoria Park.

The good people (well, kids) of Stafford weren't worried about the variable weather recently; instead they embraced the opportunity to pretend we are having a lovely summer.  Good for them.

I put the timer on, so for once I'm in my own photo.  A sort of Hitchcock cameo-role...

    1. Yes, I noticed that... I am trying to think how I'd achieved it, and I think I must have used the saturation tool in the editing process. But I really can't remember!

  5. Ahhh ... with the camera bag. This is a really good play upon the theme, Mark. Covers the essence of the CDP concept AND the Theme. I agree that it looks like a painting ...
