Little Dunmow

The original home of the Flitch Trials, Little Dunmow is located about 4 miles from Great Dunmow and, as the name implies is substantially smaller. Today’s picture was taken on Saturday evening as the sun set. The picture was taken, looking out from the Little Dunmow Priory Church.

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.

Grasslands

I’ve not done any HDR photography for a little while…until today, when a pretty drab day demanded it. I had a walk around Leez Priory and the lake there. Just before you get to the lake there is this meadow. What particularly attracted me to this area were the patches

Leg it! A young peasant greets the approaching photographer

I have a lot of photographs of birds disappearing into the middle distance, I have neither the super long lens of a wildlife photographer, nor have I the patience, finesse or light footedness to approach such creatures in such a way as not to put the fear of god into
