Challenge number four of my 101/1001 challenge is to take 100 different photographs of Cheshire and add them to this blog.
I’ve already started this challenge, when I added the photos I took of the Moon with Jupiter and Venus a few weeks back, although, as it was night, not a lot of Cheshire could actually be seen. A few trees were visible, and the photographs were taken in Cheshire, so they are valid. They weren’t a hundred in total, though, so I still need to do some work on this.
I’ve been virtually out and about this evening, and have ‘taken’ a few more ‘photos’ from around Cheshire. I say virtually, as I haven’t actually left Aqua Mansion, and instead travelled all across the county along the roads of the Google Street Map thingy. Well, I use the Sky Map thingy from time to time, so why not use the other one too?
And before you say ‘hang on, that’s cheating!’, I’ll quickly add that the challenge is a flexible one and the rules can be changed at any time. But, in my defence, I will take some proper photos with my mobile phone as well, in due course…
So, the photos:
A street in Knutsford, Cheshire:
Lymm Cross, in Lymm, Cheshire:
A different view of the Thelwall Viaduct, which carries part of the M6 motorway over Thelwall, Cheshire:
The main street in Grappenhall, Cheshire:
A bridge in Warrington, Cheshire:
A street in Chester, Cheshire:
A road somewhere in Frodsham, Cheshire:
The view from a road in Croft, Cheshire:
And finally, a couple of long shots of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire:
OK. Virtual photographs aren’t exactly the real thing, but they are still photographs! I had to ‘go’ there via the Google Map thingy to get them, and going along some of those roads can take quite a bit of time – especially when I came across red traffic lights, but the less said about that the better at this time…
One day, I’ll add my actual photos of these places, actually taken with my actual mobile phone. Real ones.
I must say, though, that I’m quite impressed with this virtual world that we can now visit. And that reminds me, I may just have to visit my avatar in Second Life… I’ve not been there for quite a while, and I’m sure I left him hanging around somewhere…
