Woburn Abbey
2014 - 365 Project

163/365v2 Woburn Abbey

Debbie and I have been visiting a few Stately Homes over the last few weeks and today we visited Woburn Abbey. It has to be said, I’ve not been hugely impressed with the houses I’ve visited recently (with the exception of Hatfield House). One of my pet peeves about these

Great Dunmow Moonrise/Sunset

162/365v2 Great Dunmow Doctors Pond at Moonrise/Sunset

Always look behind you! We had another fairly disappointing sunset this evening, unusually there was more colour opposite the sunset…and the moon had made an appearance as well. If you would like a print of this picture you can get one here – https://shop.markseton.co.uk/Great-Dunmow/i-8NDLVc9/A

161/365v2 The Photographer’s Silhouette

The Bishops Stortford Camera Club congregated around the lake at Hatfield Forest this evening to photograph the sunset. It was a beautiful evening…but the severe lack of any clouds meant a very lacklustre sunset. Nevermind when a large group of photographers gather in one place you’ll always be able to

160/365v2 Going, Going, Gone

I really should have paid more attention to this plant when I was photographing it…I have no idea what it is and all the pictures I have of it are these close up shots. Never mind, thought they made a pretty interesting triptych anyway.

159/365v2 Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula)

Another glorious day today found us walking around Rowney Wood near Saffron Walden. I deliberately only took my macro lens with me (instead of doing my usual and lugging about 5 lens around…and only using 1 of them!), well, it was a very warm 25°C. We saw many butterflies, moths,

158/365v2 Tree over the Chelmer

After a very poor start to the day weather wise, with thunderstorms and torrential rain, this afternoon cleared up and we had beautiful sunshine. I took a stroll across the Recreation Ground in Great Dunmow down to the River Chelmer where I scrambled up and down the banks to get

Sunset over Doctors Pond

157/365v2 Sunset Over Doctors Pond

We’ve had some lovely weather over the last couple of days and I was sure we’d have a cracking sunset this evening…it just never happened. Still, Dunmow’s Doctors Pond always makes a pleasant picture.

156/365v2 Daisy

I took a stroll down the Flitch Way this afternoon, in particular the Dunmow Cutting part of it. I was looking for a specific shot, but didn’t find it, but came home with this shot of a rather large daisy.

Raindrops keep falling on my petals

155/365v2 Raindrops keep falling on my petals

When in doubt I have recently been rummaging around in the hanging baskets in the garden. It’s been a day of sunshine and showers today and I noticed the first flower (on the left) with the 3 droplets of water perfectly placed – this was natural and not me adding

Nuclear Seas

154/365v2 – Nuclear Seas

I had a job interview in Suffolk today so took advantage and drove up the coast to Sizewell to have a look at the Nuclear Power Station there. I spent a lot of my youth listening to various punk bands rail against nuclear power and, particularly Sizewell B, which was
