January ending

Been very busy and with no time to take many pictures, so just a few pictures from the end of January

Storm Brendan

It has been very stormy over the past few days. Very wet so not conducive to going out to take pictures. so these images are from before and after the storm.

Long and Slow

I have had a super dense ND filter for a couple of years but not made many chances to use it. Today looked to be ideal, very windy with lots of movement in the clouds, and sunny intervals

I went down to my favourite old church at Lower Higham and then on to the abandoned dredger.

The results were very pleasing.

Full Moon

Well the cloud sheet that rolled in yesterday was still around today, and as it is a full moon tonight, that was slightly disappointing. But about 2pm the clouds cleared out and the possibility of a clear sky at 3.55pm, which was when the moon appeared over the horizon, looked more promising.

Well things went well, the sky was clear at 4pm but by 4.30pm another cloud sheet had rolled in and the moon was gone. But in that half hour I got a couple of nice shots.

Cobham, Darnley Mausoleum

The weather early was good but couldn't get out until late morning, by which time the cloud sheet had moved in. Did see one very brief glimpse of the sun.

January 10th Just seen that this was post 666 since I started. Slightly prophetic due to all the occult goings on around the mausoleum prior to its restoration by the National Trust.

Grain Further shots

Some more images of the sea defences at grain.

Sea Defense

Going back to a series of pictures I did a few years ago of sea defences in Kent. I found a great bit of breakwater at Grain on a trip today.
Just love the way the shapes work.

First Sun of the New Year.

It's been a very grey and overcast start to the new year, but today the sun came out late in the day.

Went down to the riverside and did a few images.

New Year, New Decade

So time rolls on as the year and the decade turn, life is going in new directions.

Today was a trip to Sissinghurst. Cold dark and very wintery.
