Frosty Walk to the Village

Alexa wakes us each morning with an alarm and the weather forecast for Haddenham. The wether forecast for today was cold to very cold :) (zero to -3C). 

Sue and I had a walk to the shops. It certainly was cold but it did not feel that cold in the sun. 

We found some great shadows in the graveyard and a nice fungi. As we walked over the playing field again I was struck by the shadows. Sue and I had a play with one tree :). The metal water butt for the allotments had frozen and someone had taken the ice out of the but and layer it on the grass. It was very thick. Looking at the butt it had frozen again. Yep - It was cold.

 

Fish Eye Fun at Wimpole Hall

Still at Wimpole hall last Sunday. On the walk back from the lake I switched to the Fine Eye Lens on the Olympus. This is a Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 manual focusing lens (equivalent to a 15mm lens on a full frame camera). About a third of the cost of the excellent Olympus Fish eye but still very good. Some signs of aberration at the edges.

Frosty Walk at Wimpole Hall

We did not wake particularly early on Sunday morning (yesterday) and we decided that we would take a drive to Wimpole Hall. It was clear and frosty. A beautiful day for a walk.

Note to self - As we are retired we really should go on a weekday when there are less people about :)

I thought I would take my Olympus OMD EM1 kit out for a walk but as we were going to walk to the Folly I took my infrared camera. I am sure you can imagine what I said when we got there and I found that I had forgotten to put the memory card back in the infrared camera. So no IR pictures from this trip. As we did not need to actually go to the folly we spent most of our time between the house and the lake. When we arrived at the lake we found it frozen.
