Photo Walk: Steep Hill, Lincoln

posted in: Photography, Travel | 8

After reading this post over on Skybiker’s blog earlier, I decided a lunchtime walk was in order. Just a short walk to get some fresh air in the middle of the day – with my phone in hand of course to get some snaps of pretty things along the way. I was only out for half an hour and so not really a photographic project, but I love my little city and so thought I’d share these images with you. The weather was a bit odd – dark skies one way, bright blue the other – meaning lighting was a bit changeable, but I hope you get a sense of the beauty of this little part of Lincoln through my quick shots.

    Oh, wow! Great idea for fun. Glad you got out and about. The pictures are excellent. I didn’t realize you were so close to such a pretty place. I’d like to visit it someday.

      Thanks Ally – it was indeed fun and I shall be doing it again to show off more of my lunchtime walks 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration. Lincoln should definitely be on your list of places to visit – it’s a lovely little city.

    I like this idea of a photo walk during a lunch break. I tend to spend mine reading in the staff room at work. This sounds like a much better option. My area is detfinitely not as lovely as yours but I think I’ll give this idea of photo walk a try later this week.

      Thank you 🙂 I do my best to get out of the office every day even when the weather is rubbish – you can’t beat fresh air as a midday pick-me-up. I bet you can find some lovely scenes within a few minutes of your office – let me know when you do!

        I got out of the office last Thursday and absolutely loved it! I made a blogpost about it too 🙂
        It was such a lovely experience that I’ve been out during most lunches since then and I’m planning on doing it very regularly. Thanks for the idea 🙂

    Loving your pics. I don’t think I have ever actually done a full walk up Steep Hill, always parked at the top. I should add it to my to do list 🙂
