A walk up the local fields 

Cold , grey ,dull , fed up with looking out the window so thought some nice black& white photos wouldn't go amiss 

So got some warm clothing on and set off , another thought trees entered my mind ,so went for it 

  a lone tree ,some think about these lone trees 

a touch of mono for a change 

all on my own

 

  only a hour out in the fields but got some ideas for the next shoot up there 

                  thanks for viewing 

 catch you next time

A walk in the woods 

 Blue sky and  sun shine what more could you ask for , So jumped in the car and off i went had some thing in mind for this soet of afternoon if the sun was in the right place it could be ok

So parked up boots on camera bag and off i went , first shot of the afternoon ,Walked a bit further then bumped into a chap id not seen since i worked at the wireworks which is in the wood where i was going ,spent a bit of time going over the times when we worked there , then carried on my way to the spot i had in mind

Just what i was looking for conditions where spot on lighting just right 

Saw this mountain biker coming up behind  me so waited till he gone past `nd took this one 

Hope to get up there when the frost and snow come if possible 

 Then had a quick stop off at Crich lane woods in Belper 

Just one photo then off home for a coffee

A misty start to the day, River Derwent horse shoe weir 

 But first a cup of coffee to get some ideas

the start of the 60 minute 

Old door leading into a old part of the mill

Horse shoe weir ,river Derwent ,Belper

Can remember when this bridge was all stone and no railings ,and when one of the big floods came it came through the railings onto the road ,colsing the bridge down 

Information board about the history of the mill 

going back over the river to the gardens lot of old machinery about 

Looking up the river Derwent
