Evening light in Cambridge

A few more images from our evening walk round Cambirdge Backs with CCC Members. The Backs are a mass of Dandelion clocks at the moment and all the greens were so vibrant after the rain. Canoeists gave a splash of colour for the image but it did look hard work. 

Reflections in Flooded Fields

The floods are going down in Toft but there are still several lakes in the large meadow by Bourn Brook. There was a thin coating of ice yesterday morning which gave some very impressionist reflections.

Flooding in Toft and Cambridge

Toft has been flooded twice already this year. This was on Christmas Eve after the floods had gone down enough for traffic to get through from Bourn. Brookside was still impassable as were the local footpaths. In Cambridge, Coe Fen was flooded giving great reflections.

Under the Pier

I am spending the weekend near Clacton for a postponed Bird Watching cruise from Brightlingsea tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon the sun came out for a short while and I made use of the light to investigate the world under the pier. There are abundant textures and colours but I mainly concentrated on the  'underwater world' and small glimpses cameos.

London in the Rain 3. Southbank Reflected

I was trying for that Cartier Bresson moment of leaping a puddle, but had to be content with mobile phones and an obliging seagull!  

  

King's Cross London - The Face

Entitled 'The Magazine that Redefined Youth Culture', the hoarding around one of the remaining developments in the King's Cross area attracts a lot of attention from mobile phone cameras. Even the young man who had spent the previous 30 minutes looking at his phone eventually succumbed to its lure. A few reflections including one of myself apparently on stilts and a favourite view of the development showing the matching tones and colours.
