Morning Walk

A bit of a walk this morning around the local area.

 

Malvern Hills

 A wonderful day walking in the Malvern Hills.

Rivers and Trees

 A long walk this morning along the riverbanks around the village.

Knapps

Had a good walk around the village including a full circuit of the Knapps

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.

Sunday afternoon walk

Lunch in Surrey then an after lunch walk.

Shorne Again

Another sunny evening and a walk around Shorne Woods. Main reason was to carry a full bag of cameras that I'm using next week. Testing the bag to see if it is still solid enough and not going to fail.

Anyway still got some nice pictures.

Old Trees

Not the best day I've had for awhile, very hard to get going and no motivation.
After a morning not doing much I took a walk out to the local Nature reserve at Shorne Woods.

It was very busy with lots of children, as this will be about the last weekend of the summer holidays. Autumn term starting soon. That said a short walk out the back of the bark and you are away from the crowds. On the slopes there are a few old skeletons of trees. Some damaged in the great storm of 1987, some damaged by a big fire a few years later.

They stand like ghosts, their bare arms spreading across the sky, their trunks, stripped of bark showing all the lines a whorls normally hidden in a living tree.

1970's snow and fog

At the moment I am going through my collection of B&W film negs and getting them digitised. This is all being done by camera, so the files while large are not as good as scans. The big advantage is that it is much faster. I am able to copy 5 or 6 rolls per hour.


Lots of the images are not very interesting but occasionally I find something worth working on in photoshop.

One roll I found was of a snowy and foggy day down by the river near home. It must have been about 1976 or 7 but as I never noted any info on these rolls that is just a bit of a guess.

Cut back plane trees

The Plane trees around the car parks in Gravesend have all been trimmed recently, giving some interesting shapes.

Sunset at Igtham

Sunset on a cold winter afternoon, at the end of he year.

Sunny day

Two images from today.
