For those of you who think I spend my life languishing in the Algarve sunshine, here’s a look at Restlessjo’s everyday world. Let’s start at the railway station, shall we?
If the weather’s good, I don’t need to travel far. Many of my shots are taken on Hartlepool Headland. There are always boats, or some form of activity. Now we have a fleet of windmills out at sea. Look closely at the middle photo.
The promenade wraps around Old Hartlepool, as the Headland used to be known. A brisk walk along it will surely blow the cobwebs away. In the distance, signs of former industry.
The town wall is probably the nicest part of the Headland, and certainly the warmest. These were taken on a warm but strangely foggy day last Summer. The fog disappeared as rapidly as it came.
Not such a bad old place, is it? This is my entry for the Weekly Photo Challenge. Did I tell my story in threes?
This is your everyday ?!?!?!?!? Amazing!
Well- maybe not the railway station! 🙂 I was at the beach again this afternoon, but the other side of town.
NICE : )
It might not be the Algarve, but it looks beautiful nonetheless Jo!. I loved the first set best of all.
Thanks, Madhu 🙂 That was my start point- the rest just…. followed!
101 likes????? I wonder why!!! Have I missed something while I been away *laughing.
Jo, a brilliant entry – 3 times 3 – Excellent job, girlfriend. *smile
Thanks, Vivi 🙂 The weekly challenge always gets lots of likes, but it’s hard returning all the visits (except yours, naturally 🙂 )
Yours maybe … but not mine *crying !!!!!
The most I had is 84, but I’m okay with that … the revisiting is a killer – today when I open up my email – 280 of them, there is no way I can do that every day, but I been good today. Nearly 6 hours none-stop.
280! I’d need a lie down in a darkened room! 🙂
Did you bribe half of them ???? *laughing.
What do you mean half? I bribed them all! 🙂
Good for you !!!!!! I will start doing the same. *smile
Good series of images that capture the challenge. My favorite would be the first, the train station.
Thanks, Rick! They were the ones that came to mind immediately, then I got a little over enthusiastic 🙂
Not bad at all! What a lovely place to live. I think you’ve plenty of inspiration for enjoying life!
As I watch another beautiful sunrise, Debbie, I’m feeling pretty lucky to be alive right now 🙂 The town was properly in the doldrums for a lot of years, and parts of it are still no picture book. The economy is doing poorly but you have to make the best of what you have? ‘Nuff said 🙂 Have a happy week!
wow…you went all out Jo…love them all
I’ve only done half of the town, Jo 🙂 Shall I do version 2 tomorrow? (please don’t say yes)
Well of course I am going to say yes you silly woman !!!!!
Nah! I’m feeling rebellious! 🙂
Pretty please…with sugar on top.
😉
Please don’t grovel- I’ve already done my post for tomorrow 😦 And the other half of town is boring- honest!
You haven’t seen me grovel really…not yet.
A very nice photo set indeed. I gather this is Poland? I hear it’s beautiful… I’d love to visit someday.
No, Shane 🙂 Sorry- I realise my site is confusing sometimes because I flit about a bit. This is on the north east coast of England- my home base. But you’re right- Poland is beautiful. If you’ve spare time have a glance at my A-Z of Poland page. Many thanks for returning the visit.
Oh wow, even better. England is definitely on my travel list. I used to watch a show called Location, Location, Location and my wife and I absolutely loved each time they drove into the countryside to find their clients a country home. The scenery around you must be amazing.
We’re not far from the Yorkshire Moors as well as being on the coast. All we need is the weather 🙂
An absolutely stunning post and story of threes Jo! Just as you can do it hon. Very creative and interesting and the photo’s are just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. 😀 *hugs*
Home sweet home, Sonel 🙂 Thanks a lot for your lovely comments. Extra big hug!
I started with the railway shots, Sherri, because I took them a couple of weeks ago when I was going to see my daughter and they came immediately to mind. After that, I got carried away 🙂
Loved your stories of ‘Threes’ Jo, the town wall looks like a lovely place to walk. I loved the station too. I have to figure out how to post a gallery of photos like this, heading over to the daily prompt to see how! Yet to do my ‘three’ post, thinking, thinking… 😉
I enjoy your “three” Jo 🙂
Many thanks, Halim 🙂 It’s quite a nice world to have on the doorstep.
Great sets of threes, Jo!
Thanks, Sue 🙂
la nebbia accresce il fascino dei luoghi, certo questo nella bella stagione…ma penso possa essere altrettanto durante i mesi freddi
buona giornata Giovanna, un grande abbraccio
Fog enhances the charm of places, certainly in the summer … but I think it can be just as during the cold months
good day Giovanna, a big hug
The weather is so changeable here! We have a big black sky but I’m out walking soon 😦 Take care, and hugs to you too.
Or even four!
‘S ok- I can’t count either 🙂
It seems there’s always lots to see in Hartlepool. I love to wonder locally – 3 nice sets of 3 🙂
Thanks, Suze 🙂 No blue skies this morning! (yet) Nice snowdrop walk yesterday though. Has your little friend gone home?
Great work Jo. I love the shot with the flowers in the foreground in particular.
The town wall is so photogenic, Sue- especially on a sunny day. I’ve always loved it and that’s why it was my old header for so long. Thanks! 🙂
such pleasant views around your town Jo, the railway station and the town wall are my picks, I really like the feeling of approaching and getting right up close, well done!
I took the station pics when I was going to see Lisa, and they seemed to fit right in for this challenge, Christine. Then I got carried away 🙂
You told it beautifully Jo! I especially like the last set of threes but I loved seeing your everyday world through your lens, thanks!
It all started with that railway sequence, Tina. I rarely use the train but I was “playing about” when I went to York the other week. And one thing led to another- as it does 🙂
Thanks for the peek into your life.
Any time, Dawn 🙂 Come for coffee- it’s brewing!
🙂
A lovely cluster of threes Jo 🙂
Thanks, Seonaid 🙂 Watching the clouds race across the sky this morning, clutching my coffee.
Well I’m clutching green tea….and there’s not a breath of wind right now, but plenty of rain. Funny the difference over a fairly short distance 🙂
It’s a stunning ‘old’ place. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos, Jo!
East-west, home’s best? Well, it is if you’re in the Algarve, Jill. 🙂 But there are many worse places. Thanks, hon. Have a good week!
You told many Jo – and I enjoyed looking at them.
In retrospect, Colline, it’s quite a lopsided view of the town. I need to add at least two more 🙂 But I won’t! There’s always another day with the challenges. Thanks for your visit.
Lovely place!
Thanks! 🙂 It has it’s moments. It’s wild and windy this morning.
What a lovely place, great photos and I enjoyed the 3 different perspectives of each location. Linda x
Thanks, Linda 🙂 Like most places it has it’s less desirable aspects, but I know many worse places. And it’s home!
I would love to live at your side of the world. Being close to the sea, there’s always something to do or just relax and enjoy life. Have a wonderful week ahead.
If you have a scarf and a warm coat, it’s great, Mr. B. And it’s home! 🙂 You too, sir.
Fab sets of three Jo. My favourite is the station – love that poster! But the last three are pretty good too. Not a bad old place at all 🙂
Home sweet home, Jude 🙂 (but I do like a change!)
Love your quartet of threes, Jo. That is my first visit to Hartlepool, so thank you for showing me around 🙂
I think it’s a bit lopsided actually, Ken, but I’d have needed another couple of 3’s and there’s only so much time in the day, isn’t there? Glad you liked what you saw 🙂
Not a bad place at all, Jo. That’s a very long pier, and I love the bright flowers on the town wall. I’m sure I would enjoy walking with you. 🙂
The floral displays throughout the town are really good in Summer, Ad. Won’t be long? 🙂
I like all four sets of the threes, Jo. It gives a wonderful perspective of your everyday world of the place. The last set is my favorite 🙂
Mine too, Amy 🙂 And “the header”‘s almost back!
That’s a really good set of 3s Jo – I keep learning more interesting things about Hartlepool.
I’ll treat you to that coffee in the marina one of these days, Robin. No, on second thoughts, you can treat me 🙂
Love your threes!
Thanks, Scrappy 🙂
