Welcome to
Painted Pixels
Oban bay
The word,
Photography, is derived from the Greek photos (“light”)
and graphein (“to draw”), a phrase that means "Painting
with light". I use the digital format for my photography and
painted pixels was the perfect fit as the name for this site.
Northampton is, argueably, the furthest town from the coasts of
Britain and was once, unbelievably, a port, 70 miles from the
nearest shore. Northampton has visions of becoming a port again
with a new proposal to widen and deepen the river along the whole
of its navigable length so that fairly large sea-going barges can
use it. Northampton is where I live and work. The Shire is noted
for its wealth of church architecture and medieval craftsmanship.
Although this site is in it's infancy, I will be expanding on the
historical facts of the town and peeking into a golden era, a
colourful and regal history that almost made Northampton the
Capital of Britain.
I hope you find the articles and pictures about Northamptonshire,
informative and helpful and encourages you to explore our town and
county's rich heritage. You will not be disappointed.
Northamptonshire is alive with history; come and breathe it.
