Misty morning in Toft, Cambridgeshire

 We have had some very misty mornings this week. Here some images from the Meadows and Golf Course in Toft. Much of the low lying land was flooded earlier in the week. 

Wildfowl Trust Welney - Sunset Feed

Great end to our day on Saturday photographing the sunset feed at Welney from below the hide so we were not much above the water level. Lots of splashing all illuminated by a fiery sun. First shots at 1/1000th second, later ones at 1/90th.

Freezing Fog at American Cemetery

I visited the American War Cemetery while the fog was still around and the sun just beginning to break through. The mist had frozen overnight onto the grass and all the twigs, flowers etc including some Ink Cap toadstools. 

A Century of Change in Cambridge Set 2

This is the second set of comparative images from a documentary audiovisual that  I made using images from around 1900 and from 2000/1. Some of the 1900 building are no longer the like the Mill in the second pair or hadn't been built like the Anchor in the first pair. I will repeat these in 2021 to see what has changed in the 21 years of the 21st Century. The monochrome images from 2000 were taken on Scala monochromatic film.

Welney Wildfowl Trust - A Day of Contrasts

We visited Welney yesterday on a highly changeable day weather wise with bright clear sunshine alternating with heavy black clouds, rain and a beautiful sunset to finish the visit. The flood waters have come earlier and are much deeper than normal for this time of year. Here a few landscapes with some of the birds. In the first, the large flocks of Black-tailed godwits plus Lapwings and Oystercatchers plus swans and ducks, fill the remaining spits of land.
