Under the A120
Great Dunmow

Underneath the A120

The A120 connects Great Dunmow with Bishop’s Stortford and the M11 (and thus London) in one direction and Braintree and Colchester in the other. It’s the most important road in the immediate area and was recently turned into a dual carriageway and bypassed around Dunmow. Walking down the Flitch Way

Dunmow Carnival 2011

Today was Dunmow Carnival day and the town was awash with bunting. The procession was lengthened quite considerably this year and there was certainly less numbers out on the streets outside our house this year – we assume because more people could watch it from the comfort of their own

The Old Runway at Little Easton

A picture from much earlier this year of the old runway at Little Easton. I’m assuming this is the remains of the runway used during the second world war by the USA Air Force 386th Bombardment Group known as “The Crusaders”

Your roots are showing…

The Leez Priory, an old tudor building, is used for weddings, it looks a lovely venue, and indeed there was a wedding on when I was in the area, a shame because I would have liked to have photographed the buildings. Near the Priory is a lake which was looking

Leez Lodge Lakes

Following on from yesterday’s blog, here’s a small pond and stream near (and feeding) the Leez Lodge Lakes. I had to fight my way into this area and those green sticks had some vicious barbs on them, as I was taking the photograph I was aware my tripod was slowly

Orange Rose - Colour
Black & White

Black and White or Colour?

You choose 😉 I’m really quite undecided. I found these roses at the Foakes Hall in Great Dunmow this afternoon. I love the black and white conversion, but the orange is so vivid (at least I hope it’s orange – colour blind and all that)…

A black and white photograph of a plowed field, clouds and a dead tree in Matching, Essex
Black & White

The Ploughed Field

We took a stroll around Matching at the weekend, a really nice part of Essex close to Harlow. I’m getting more and more interested inblack and white photography, quite the opposite to the HDR (high dynamic range) photography I have concentrated on for the last 6 months or so.

Palisades

Keeping the slightly industrial / metal feel going, today’s photograph is of some palasades in Dunmow. The fact that they were photographed in Dunmow is neither here nor there, a palisade is, after all, a palisade. As if to confirm this, Google could not locate a palisade appreciation site 😉
