This posting pre-dates the previous two in practice but I had not had a chance to work on the images I took until now. Just after the new year (but before the big snow) I drove up through the country (M5/M6). The previous night had seen some of the lowest temperatures. Close to [...]

Today with very low temperatures in the UK and in the Westcountry (-14 deg C locally on the news and -7 deg C at my house overnight) I was not sure how far on to the moors I would be able to get. I had planned to go out with a friend however [...] A couple of short walks today produced some nice pictures. Looking over Totnes towards the south of the moors gave me this one.
Looking up the River Dart at Totnes showed how cold it was last night. Bear in mind that the Dart is tidal and so salty at this [...] This goes back to the start of the month but I’ve only just had time to deal with these ones.

It saddens me that this is really only the second post on what is my favourite area of the West Country. [...]
Over the past few months the colours of Autumn on the trees have been very attractive and I have taken quite a lot of pictures of them. Now winter is here (and for now the rain has stopped) I was looking at the trees now there are no leaves on. [...] I’d been looking at getting out to try and catch some real Autumn colours for a while. I was wondering about Westonbirt Arboretum. I have been there before but it is quite a trek for me. Equally it was apparent from comments on the photography course that, at times, the photographers there [...]
Just back after four days mostly on the South West Coast path between Minehead and Woolacombe. With something over 400 images to sort through it will be a day or two before I can get what I want on here and elsewhere but I thought I’d put on a taster [...] |
