Flowers and Water
I liked this view of some flowers overhanging the stream and the different looking background the moving water provides. The white flower is a wood anemone, the yellow one I’m not so sure of. Can anyone tell me?
Ripples and Rain
Just a simple shot of the rain falling into Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne. Then it started raining much harder so I put the camera away.
The Jerwood Gallery
The recently opened Jerwood Gallery in Hastings is part of the Jerwood Foundation, an organisation that has been created to house their collection of modern British Art. It has been built on the Stade, part of Hastings Old Town. The…
Pett Level Beach
Looking down from the top of the shingle at Pett Level Beach I spied this lady walking her dog and liked the contrast between the beach and the sea. Typically the dog decided to show his backside to me just…
Church of St Thomas the Martyr, Winchelsea
Winchelsea is a small village in East Sussex with a fascinating history. A hint of it’s previous importance can be seen in the Church of St Thomas the Martyr, the only remaining one of three churches that the town once…

Silver Birches at Mallydams
Walking through the woods the other day I thought that these densely packed silver birches might make an interesting picture. It was overcast so there was not a great deal of colour to bring out in the composition. So I…
Distant Rain
The past 17 months have seen the driest conditions on record in the East of England, and the South East isn’t fairing much better. This report from the Environment Agency shows that river flow, reservoir and ground water levels are…
The Shard
The Shard in London is nearing completion and has recently become the tallest structure in Europe at 310 meters. It hurts the neck to look up at it, but the views from the observation deck will be magnificent. There will…
