Weekly Photograph

This week’s photo is another I took in October 2013 when Noreen and I travelled on the paddle-steamer Waverley from London (Tower Pier) to Southend. This is a shot of some bit of waterside industrial buildings somewhere along the south bank of Thames below Docklands. You can often get some interesting effects shooting lights at twilight or at night from a moving platform (boat, train, car) which make boring scenes rather fun.

Weekly Photograph

This week another from our trip, last May, round Oxfordshire villages in search of ancestors. This archway — which looks to be Tudor in date — is in a hedge across the middle of the graveyard of Churchill’s old church. It really does just lead from one piece of churchyard to another and appears to be of absolutely no significance, beyond being rather splendid.

Weekly Photograph

This week a current photograph! On Saturday we took the trip to Norwich to see my aged mother and driving across Thetford Chase in the early morning, low winter sun the bare trees, the pine trees and the bright green of the winter wheat etc. in the fields looked magnificent. This shot was take from the passenger seat of the moving car (hence it isn’t absolutely pin sharp) somewhere on the A11 around Thetford Chase. What a delightful row of trees in sunlight but against a dark grey sky!
