Play Park Textures and Shadows

Play Park Textures and Shadows

Sue and I were in Sawston on Saturday on a Cambridge Camera Club Photohunt. The last place we visited after four hours was a play park. It was about 14:00, the sun was high and the shadows and textures on the ground made by the apparatus caught my attention. (Shadows and Textures being one of my ongoing projects) I initially processed the images in colour and was quite pleased with the result. I then thought 'what would they / some of them look in monochrome.

This set is colour, Mono tomorrow.

Dorset with CCC Day 6 - 16th June - A Day out with Phil

 Dorset with CCC Day 6 - 16th June - A Day out with Phil

So our day started in Bridport. A nice Dorset Village. We had a wander round and investigated the town. We decided move on to West Bay  before lunch. The afternoon was spent looking around this seaside town.


During the day e visited two churches with approx 700 Years Difference. This story and the diptych was my daily journal photo that you may have seen before.


The story that accompanied the two church's  is repeated here along with the diptych.


Phil and I did not go with the other members of the Cambridge Camera Club today to the Swanage area, instead we traveled to Bridport and the West Bay area (allegedly in search of cake :)


During our travels we visited two churches. St Mary's in Bridport. Built early 13th Century (ie after 1201) on the site of a previous Saxon church. I spoke with two very nice ladies in the church and they explained a lot about the church and its community. 


Phil and I then traveled to West Bay. Famous of recent years as the location for the filming of the crime drama Brordchurch.


After a walk around West Bay and an Ice Cream, Note a Herring Gull pinched Phil’s ice cream :( but they did not get mine :), We visited St Johns Church. This was built in the 1930's and dedicated in 1939 as a 'chapel of ease'. This is a church building other than a Parish Church so people who cannot get to the Parish Church can attend.


Note - we are being fed so well at the accommodation we are staying at neither of us had cake.


The last two pictures were taken back at the place we were staying. The second from last is Ann who organised the trip with her husband my friend Phil. 


The last photo taken a few minutes later and signifies the end of our trip with friends from the Cambridge Camera Club. Sue and left the rest a day early to visit our granddaughter Eloise in Swindon for her birthday - and yes there was cake

Dorset with CCC Day 6 - 15th June - Burton Bradstock Hive Beach


Another day at the beach. In the morning we left the car park and walked the cliff to on the left. We found a set of steps and walked down to the beach and then back to the car park area where we had lunch.


In the afternoon we walked the other way. It was hot (but not as hot as it is this week)
