We had a few of these at Paxman Diesels in Colchester. I loved the colours and the buzzing of the sparks – reminded me of a scene from Frankenstein.

My adorable Nephew at Kentwell – an annual Tudor reenactment where participants live like Tudors for a week in the grounds of a large Tudor mansion in Suffolk. He loved his time there – a life changing moment in his young life

He was a travelling ‘player’ for a week. They even speak the Shakespearean style language of the time when ‘on duty’.

Don’t trip over onto these little beauties, best not climb over them at all.

I was drawn to this image by the unworldliness of the landscape created by the spikes, patterns and shadow on this bridge in Chelmsford.

RANDOM ORDER

Posted on 07/08/2017 Posted in PhotographyLeave a comment

I was fascinated by the rythm created by these leaves on a pond in Writtle. The distribution of colour and shape is seemingly random, yet the texture is uniform

We owe everything to nature’s ability to create order from chaos.

NIGHTMARE DOLL

Took this shot in situ – no extra lighting, just sunlight hitting the doll at just the right angle and lighting up the head! I didn’t even move its position to get this shot.
