Keith's metal art and work from my visit to Seaham

Below can be seen the metal work and small objects of art that Keith has produced, there are many more that I did not photograph, but that will be for another day...

The first two photos show the fences that Keith made at the front and back of his bungalow and also can be seen his lovely Bull Mastiff dog which was so very friendly...

Keith also take photos with one hand using a Canon EOS 350D and no not always with a tripod but just holds the camera with one hand and clicks and changes the lens the same way....

A Visit To Seaham Co Durham North East England

A day out at Seaham on the North East Coast of the UK with two friends. We have all had strokes (Brain Attacks) and been chatting to each other in a stroke survivors chat room for some time...And on this Wednesday the 9th September 2009 we met for the first time, in the seaside town of Seaham..Some 120 miles from where Keith H and I live. Keith A lives in the town and showed Keith H and I (Brain) around the area.. and the photos below are a record of that day...

The memorial to the miners and the names and ages on that are worth looking at closer as young boys of 14 years of age died in the pits ....
The photos are of the two Keith's ... Keith A wears the glasses the other is Keith H.

Keith A also does art work in metal welding and also paints by using his one good hand teaching himself this after his stroke (Brain attack), I have taken Photos of his work and will be posting some of his welding art soon ....I must stress that Keith only has the use of one hand even to take photographs. Keith's work can also be seen at this link to Flickr
