The River Stort, Dunmow, Essex
2014 - 365 Project

089/365v2 The River Stort, Dunmow

I took a stroll around Dunmow this afternoon/early evening. The forecast had said we’d have sunny spells all day…I don’t think we saw the sun at all…but it was nice and warm. I ended up down by the Rover Stort and grabbed the brackets for this HDR shot.

082/365v2 Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head

We took a walk around Rowney Woods this afternoon. As we entered the woods we were greated with a huge and long clap of thunder which did give us fair warning of the sort of weather we were about to “enjoy”

047/365v2 The Silver Birch

The wind dropped and the sun made a rare appearance so we dashed out to take a walk around Rowney Woods this morning. When we arrived it was a completely featureless blue sky…nice after what we have had recently, but not great for interesting photographs. Fortunately some clouds had started

The Dead Trees of Mundun, Essex

026/365v2 The Dead Trees of Mundun

The stories say that back in the 1600’s these oak trees, situated behind the old (now disused) church, were used to hang people. They lived until 1953 when the sea broke the seas defenses and flooded the area, killing the trees. They really are a spooky, strange sight with their

013/365v2 Parndon Mill Lock

I was working in Harlow today and for once it wasn’t raining so I popped down to Parndon Mill on the River Stort and grabbed some shots – this was a favourite location back in my first 365 project but now I usually work in Hatfield I don’t have the

An Essex Sunset at Aythorpe Roding

011/365v2 An Essex Sunset

At last, a dry day, let me confirm though – trudging around the local fields and footpaths is a muddy experience at the moment but I was so happy to be out and about this afternoon. I visited the windmill at Aythorpe Roding, but, this time, the windmill doesn’t feature

005/365v2 A Wet Winter in Rowney

It’s a sod is Facebook – you’re all ready to add a post to your blog and all hell kicks off…(you get into a long winded conversation about what is right and wrong in journalistic photography…it’s a minefield I tell you!) Today we have just about the only decent shot

34/52 The Harvest

One of my more regular places to photograph is Rowney Woods near Debden and Saffron Walden in Essex. This, as you will gather, was not taken in the woods, but rather out on the wheat fields behind the woods. The farmer had just harvested the wheat and had left these

24/52 Look Out, It’s The Mob

I love this picture, OK? Mooching around Rowney Woods the wife and I came across this band of hoodlums waiting to set upon any unwary walkers, they certainly spotted us. I particularly like the male in the middle – he has such a great expression on his face…wonder if I
