Blackpool by Night First Take

After more than 6 hours total on the M6, we were glad to get a meal and stretch our legs along the promenade at Blackpool where we are staying to attend the PAGB finals on Sunday. Brilliance is an understatement!

Alien Invasion (Light Painting at Foxton)

We lit Foxton recreation ground with some very strange shapes at  CCC Wednesday Workshop group thanks to Paul's ingenuity. I especially liked the Christmas tree effect and the wirewool aliens approaching across the grass - very reminiscent of the War of the Worlds theme 'The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one - but still they come!' It was a clear starlit night so Shelagh's word painting was very appropriate.

Cambridge Mists 2 - Autumn Colours at the Best

The subdued light and the damp leaves resulted in beautiful autumn colours in the photos taken between the mist clearing and heavier drizzle arriving. The cherry tree avenue at Trinity was a very different colour on the two sides and at the two ends with the eastern end the reddest.

Cambridge Mists 1

Took advantage of the last foggy morning in cambridge yesterday. Unfortunately it then started to rain so a different set of images will follow after the mist was replaced by light rain.

Halloween Capers

We have spent the last 5 days looking after this Ginger Cat with the aid of the Green Witch. Last night the neighbourhood were also subjected to the activities of the terrible two. 

Young Mycologists at Work in Thetford Forest

There are still lots of toadstools in Thetford forest to keep budding Mycologists happy. And before Mum and Dad get worried, Russula atropurpurea that M is holding is an edible species. The Russlua claroflava below is also edible but they were not allowed to touch the fly Agarics. Also identified Egg stage of the Phallus impudicus, Mycena rosea, Macrolepiota mastoidea and Sulphur Tuft. Not sure of last species

London Walk: Gasholder Development Favourite Images

The end of the afternoon in London on Saturday was overcast with poor light but it really showed off the textures, colours and shapes in this area.
