As I’m sure you know I am a member of OneLandscape Photography Community, and each month we are set a challenge by Chris Sale, or leader. Well in actual fact Chris asks group members to suggest ideas, and this month it’s my turn. In my 2024 Project of the River Mersey i came across graffiti

I’m not one for grand new year resolutions or gestures of abstinence that you see being heralded on social media, but I decided that the new year means a new Photography Project. I’ve wanted to be able to have a project that was locally based, that didn’t need a lot of driving to get to,
