Nativity

The nativity seen above can be found in the church of St Wulfram, Grantham, Lincolnshire. It is by the stained glass artist, Leonard Evetts (1909-1997). He was a prolific designer and his very attractive style - a mixture of tradition and modernity - is relatively easy to pick out among C20 artists. This is a detail of a larger work of 1969 called the Porter Window that commemorates a member of a shoe-making family.

Colourful carriages

My eye was drawn to these colourful railway carriages across the tracks at Grantham Station when we were waiting for the London train. The combination of a recent clean and the sharp, early morning light made them stand out from the more muted colours around them. I'm not a great fan of the myriad colour schemes of the "competing" railway companies that now ply their trade on Britain's railway racks, but these carriages satisfied my photographer's craving for deep vibrant colour.
