Autumn Through a Crystal Ball

The fungi are still amazing in my local wood so another sunset visit was in order. Before the sun got to desired low point, I played around with a crystal ball - not at all easy to get an in-focus image that worked! The Parasols are drying up a bit now but worth this second visit.

 

Welney Last Images of the Day

This is the last set of images from our day at Welney - the Marsh Harrier lit by the final rays of sunshine and then flying as dusk descended plus other late afternoon shots

Welney at 'Sunset'

As often happens, a bank of cloud developed low down so we didn't see the sun actually set but, before it went behind the cloud, the colours were spectacular across the water, varying from golden to deep cyan. Not the best shots technically but it gives an idea of colours.

Welney Lady Fen

Welney Wildfowl Trust reserve only has the main hide and part of Lady Fen open due to flooding but we had a very enjoyable day there including a walk in the afternoon on Lady fen watching Cattle Egrets, Hares, Hares, Roe Deer and Tree Sparrows. The final image sums up the habitat and abundance of birdlife. The black bones showing through the feathers of the Cattle Egret in two of the images interested me.

Seasonal Thoughts

As November 11th approaches, some multiexposure images some that show harmony of tones and others where opposites in terms of textures, colours etc can unite illustrating a desire for peace in the world. 

American Cemetery Cambridge

The autumn colours on the maples and other trees at Madingley War Cemetery are developing well though many leaves have not yet turned. The green intensity is reduced in full-spectrum photography giving a hint of what is to come if the winds stay away.
