Project – 'Landscapes' Update

in

On the same afternoon that we took pictures of the Amazon Depot and caused a minor stir, we also took some snaps of a Roman hill. I say it is Roman, although I have no actual proof of this, only what my taxi driver friend James said it is one. It does look man made. As well as having few interesting trees growing on the top of it. Also taken that day is another view of a tree on a small hill (first picture) that I first viewed when Amy and I were on our way back home from our parents. It can be seen through a gap in the trees opposite the local B&Q depot. I had thought for a time that I had imagined the view from the depot as the mind plays tricks on you, but yes it was real and James and his taxi took us there to capture its fleeting splendour.

Going down to Northamptonshire is one of the few chances I get to explore the countryside and practice landscape photography. Its quite a flat county, not being a million miles away from the flat lands of the Fen country in Cambridgeshire. But if you get lucky, there are still some views worth venturing out for. All black and white, I hope you enjoy this offering and thanks to Amy for her help and Mum and Dad for taking us around.

Project – 'Landscapes' and 'Architectural Metaphor' Update

This years offering of landscape pictures were taken in Rutland. A trip north of Corby was taken with the help of my father to this nice little county and a very scenic view from a viaduct across the valley. There was not many people around as the area was flooded, which added to the glare of light that day. But I think both Amy and I managed to get something decent for the site as well as some shots of Kettering telephone exchange added for the 'Architectural Metaphor page. Brutal building as any, not the greatest of designs, but not a blot on the landscape as my Dad calls it.

While being at my parents home, they very kindly took Amy and I into the Northamptonshire (Flat) countryside for some landscape shots. It was highly rewarding, if possibly a bit dull for everyone else. My favourite shots from the day were of a broken gate laying in the overgrown hedgerow and moody sky above it. Yes the sky was really that threatening, but again no rain. We also went to walk around the lakes of Rushden Lakes shopping complex and got some great pictures of the water and skies. It was fun.
