Omnibus_cross_the_Ouse

Random Old Analogue Photo Of The Day: I have, earlier this evening, made a couple of extensive comments to this post at the 'Shady's Place' Blog, one of which refers to the city of York's contribution to the Swinging Sixties, which inspired me to look out one of the photos I took in the city on the 'Enjoying Derby' coach excursion to York referred to at that comment at 'Shady's Place'. The date will be etched into the negative memories of local football fans as the day of our trip to York was on the same day as the Rams were defeated by Queen's Park Rangers in the Championship Play-Off Final of 2014, specifically, the 24th May of that year. I may be a 'Derbyshire Canary', football-wise, but I still follow the fortunes of my home city's club and the coach's radio was tuned into the match on the return trip to Derby, so it was something of a 'downer' after such an enjoyable and eye-opening - certainly on York's place in the world of entertainment - day out for me. This is a photo of the River Ouse, with one of the pleasure boats framed nicely under a bridge, with a bus just happening to pass directly overhead from the viewer's vantage point, resulting in the title I have given the photo, to reflect Gerry and The Pacemakers' huge hit, 'Ferry Cross The Mersey' - sort of like there was once a 'fanzine' for my adoptive football club entitled 'Ferry Cross The Wensum', the River Wensum being referenced at this 'Bananas For Breakfast' Blog post.
It is through having been an employee at 'Enjoying Derby' that I began to dig more deeply into Flickr after having initially discovered it a couple or so years previously, incidentally. So 'Enjoying Derby' is an important part of my Flickr 'journey'.
