Fred Dibnah Heritage Centre Bolton Visit

March 15, 2018Places to Visitday out photos, travel photographyMike Turner

Fred Dibnah was a steeplejack and television personality from Bolton, who was well loved because of his infectious enthusiasm and passion for engineering. His home became his playground, littered with many of his homemade projects. Since his death in 2004, the venue has become a heritage centre thanks to Leon Powsney who took over after Fred’s death, aided by some of Fred’s friends including Alf Molyneux who was one of Fred’s best friends and who starred with him on the BBC Made in Britain series.

Smile: A Poem By Spike Milligan?

January 12, 2018Having fun with photosquotesMike Turner

infectious smiles graphic by Mike Turner Photography

I love this poem.

“Infectious Smiles” is a poem purported to be by the late, great Spike Milligan that promotes the positivity of smiling.

But was it actually penned by the comedy legend at all? There are lots of websites attributing Spike as author, but I have recently spoken to the actual author who happens to be Jez Alborough. You can find more of Jez’s work at jezalborough.com

It’s a great gift to the world, I’m sure you’ll agree.

We could all do with smiling more, that is for sure. the science is pointing to the health benefits of feeling more positive. You can’t help feeling better when you’re smiling.

So does that lead on to the possibility that having a photoshoot is actually good for your mental health? I’d like to think so.

We are in the business of making people smile, and in return it makes us feel better, so please come and join in the fun at Mike Turner Photography, we have lots of photoshoot experiences to enjoy.

Check them out here.

Photos of Poole’s Cavern, Buxton Country Park and surrounding area

November 30, 2017Places to Visitday out photos, travel photographyMike Turner

On our drive to Poole’s cavern and Buxton country park we stopped to take in some of the views and of course take a few pictures.

Once we arrived we walked to the summit of Grin Hill, just a 20 minute brisk walk from Poole’s Cavern, to Buxton’s very own folly, Solomon’s Temple.

Solomon’s Temple actually occupies a site of ancient significance. It rises from the centre of an ancient burial mound, and during the tower’s construction an archaeological dig revealed several Bronze Age skeletons from the ‘Beaker’ period, along with later Roman items.

After taking a short rest to enjoy the spectacular views across the High Peak we resulted to take a guided tour of Poole’s cavern.

You can find more information from Poole’s cavern official website at poolescavern.co.uk

It says “Take a journey beneath the earth with expert guides, explore the vast limestone caverns see how crystal stalactites have lined the chambers over millions of years.”

We did and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
