Annual Digital Image Competition

Above image was taken on a short break in Petworth, Sussex at the disused railway station;  now serving as our B&B.  This image was judged as 1st place in the category 'Man Made'.

This tree canopy, photographed in my local park, appealed to me as it has a pleasing structure and signifies the importance of trees in our environment; something I often take for granted.

 

 

Sunflower and bees

Summer's here!  Good to see the bees are busy.

Day Out - Epping to Ongar Railway

Trip started from Epping Underground station.  From where we baorded a Routemaster bus to North Weald.....brought back memories of 'On The Buses':  Bus conductor, paper tickets, wind-up windows, cable bell pull, etc.

Beautiful countryside surrounds North Weald station.

Another rainy summer's day

It has certainly been a miserably wet start to Summer 2016.  Still it makes for some pleasant photos of raindrops on leaves and flowers.

Summer at last (albeit between the heavy downpours)

The wild flowers are thriving in the hot sun and heavy downpours.  Is all this rain a consequence of global warming?  I can't remember such regular downpours in my younger days.
