Bush Road
The Essex Countryside

Bush Road, Great Sampford, Essex

Pictures can sometimes be misleading. You wouldn’t believe that, top right there is a scrap yard and criss-crossing back and forth all over the fields and trees are a number of electricity pylons and a telephone line – it did not look appealing, but with a careful bit of positioning

005/366 Crass Symbol – Incomplete

As a youth I loved Crass (“loving” Crass is probably an oxymoron), I was banned from bringing their albums into school, filled as they were with extreme political ideals and vitriolic music. I still love them and was delighted when they decided (rather un-Crass like) to reissue all their albums

West Wood – Between Thaxted and Great Sampford

We’ve been to West Wood before but not for a few months so it was nice to get out there on Monday before the weather closed in. We had lovely bright weather and the moon followed us around all day. So here’s a black and white shot of the moon

002/366 There’s a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)

Everywhere we went today you could see the moon and it reminded me of the B52’s track “There’s a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)”. So much so that I had to listen to it when I arrived home. I had hoped that there’d be some clever way I

Peterborough Cathedral North Altar

Peterborough Cathedral

I visited Peterborough Cathedral the same day as Ely Cathedral and was equally impressed by this building which is massive and super gothic. Here’s a shot of the North Altar.
