The Remnants of the Harvest
2014 - 365 Project

212/365v2 The Remnants of the Harvest

This was originally called The Harvest, then my wife pointed out that actually, this was what was left after the harvest has taken place… I’ve been driving past this field looking at these straw bales for a couple of weeks now. Today I was early enough to jump out of

Coastal Path

211/365v2 Coastal Path

I took a walk down to the River Stour this lunchtime as I could see the tide was in – this area is much more attractive when the tide is in 😉 This is the coastal path (that the farmer has very kindly cut back) towards Manningtree. It was a

210/365v2 Standing Guard

Another night out with the Bishops Stortford Camera Club. Our regular firestarter and general “ask me to do something & I’ll do it” helper Steve came up trumps with his collection of replica guns and military garb. He posed in all sorts of awkward positions for us, but it was

209/365v2 The Ginnel

There are a few little passages or ginnels around Dunmow – here’s one of them that comes out just behind the 16th century (old) town hall…the building with the bell tower. It would appear the gardens are all trying to escape into the ginnel.

208/365v2 Thorns

Been stuck at home all day today for one reason and another so could only mooch about in the garden to find a shot – got plenty of bugs, but I’ve posted lots of those recently so thought I would post this simple black and white shot of thorns from

207/365v2 Nature’s Rail Tracks

This spider had caught a flying ant in his web and was moving in for his dinner. When I looked at this photograph on the computer it immediately brought to mind a lady tied up on the railtracks with the train bearing down on her that you used to see

Last One

206/365v2 Last One…

…at least for a couple of days over the weekend 😉 OK – I know I have done one or two from this field over the last week or two. I like this one because using the 70-200mm (at 200mm) has compressed the background nicely meaning you can see the

205/365v2 Who Pulled The Plug Out?

My dashing around Suffolk in my lunch hour continued today as I visited Pin Mill, a very interesting part of the River Orwell between Ipswich and Felixstowe. You’re always told that taking photographs whilst the sun is high overhead is not a good idea…after the last few days I can

Shotley Gate Pier

204/365v2 Shotley Gate Pier

Dashed out at lunchtime to see if I could find a photograph. I drove up to Alton Water, but I refuse to pay £3 for all day parking when I am only going to be there 30 minutes at the most…why no option to pay a pound for an hour?

203/365v2 The Best View

I finally found my way down onto the river bank/shoreline of the River Stour in Suffolk today. I had a failed attempt at finding this last week…you’d have thought it would be straight forward really – a big expanse of water…Anyhow, the tide was out and it looked…frankly…awful – this
