River Windrush…slowed down…

This is a photograph of the the River Windrush taken at Minster Lovell in Oxfordshire – a mostly bright day, with clouds for extra interest! While not a waterfall (I don’t know of any nearby), the river is quite turbulent, so lends itself to a long exposure as I did here – I took several…

Spring has sprung!

This photograph was taken in the Wychwood Wild Garden in Shipton-under-Wychwood – a fantastic day – sunny, clear blue sky, temperatures above 20˚C on Sunday 16th March 2014. We had just been to The Lamb Inn in Shipton for lunch (recommended!) – we ate a birthday lunch for my wife outside (pretty good for March in the…

Broadway Tower – two ways…

A special post this time round – two for the price of one (basically because I could not decide which one to use in this post – I like them both!) This is Broadway Tower, near Evesham, in the Cotswolds, UK – I’ve seen it in several guide books, but only recently discovered that it…

Old Oak Tree

This photograph was taken on the gloriously sunny afternoon of the 1st of March – the first day of Spring!  Unfortunately, the weather didn’t last and the 2nd day of Spring has been wet, windy and miserable…oh well! Still, a short walk in the sun shine resulted in some good images – the one shown…

Snowy Sheep

OK – so we’ve had no snow at all this year except for a few flakes that didn’t settle – I guess I am kind of disappointed, so I have pulled out a photograph I took around this time last year – I had taken the kids to school and stopped on the way back…

Restricted Byway

Another shot taken near to Lechlade on 9th February.  Back when we lived in Lechlade (we rented a house here for a year), I sometimes ran along this ‘restricted byway’ (not quite sure in what way it is restricted, though as you can see, it is somewhat more restricted at present!) – these fields are…

Flooded Thames Path

This is the Thames Path at Lechlade-on-Thames on Sunday 9th February 2014 …at least it is supposed to be – not much of the path can be seen.  Taken from the bridge looking downstream  – the extent of the flooding was stunning – fields all around were covered in water – I have never seen…

Canary Wharf

This is Canary Wharf…or rather part of it – taken from Wood Wharf on a bright, but rather cold morning – 19th December 2013. This is a five shot panorama – the resulting image once stitched together in Photoshop CS5 was almost 12,000 pixels across – this gives a much better level of detail than…

Misty Docks

Taken recently down at Canary Wharf on a foggy morning from the easterly side of South Dock – the main part of Canary Wharf is hidden in the fog beyond the boats on the right had side of the photograph about 400m away – but looking at the photograph, you’d be forgiven for thinking it…

Metal and Wood

Hmmm…not doing so well with the New Years Resolution (which was to post photographs to this website more regularly)…so, without further ado, here is one of my latest! Taken a few days ago, it is part of a short study of a strange looking piece of artwork that has been installed at Canary Wharf –…
