A hot, sunny day in Pontefract, enjoying the Liquorice Festival

Well, the temperature reached about 28C, bringing out the crowds to Pontefract to enjoy the annual Liquorice Festival.  Here is a shot of the lovely Lucy Liquorice entertaining the passers-by:



Especial thanks go to St Giles (http://www.stgilesonline.org.uk/) for allowing me to climb to the top of their bell tower to get some aerial shots (and to cool down a bit in the breeze that was blowing up there).

The Sweet Taste Of Success

As a change from the usual weekend of photographing sporting events or family gatherings, Wakefield Council have commissioned me to photograph this year's Pontefract Liquorice Festival.

This will take place on Sunday 14th July 2013 around the centre of Pontefract and will celebrate Pontefract’s historic association with this unusual plant.
