When the snow fell heavily in Essex before Christmas, I wrapped myself up and took my camera and my very cold fingers over to Essex University to take a few shots of the snowy grounds late afternoon. It was bright but freezing and by the end of the afternoon (which admittedly included some slipping around and colourful language  ) I had to abandon the trip due to my battery giving up.

The night is darkening round me

I couldn’t resist taking some photographs of Wivenhoe covered in a blanket of snow. Yesterday morning I put on my Thermals and headed off down to the Quay to take some shots of the boats. The light was beautiful, constantly changing, lots of reflections and powder puff clouds..Please click on this link to see the other pictures I took  http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/wivenhoe_in_the_snow

Thank you for stopping by….

As you can see my daughter is very disappointed to learn that her school is closed today because of the heavy snow in Brightlingsea, Essex.

I recently met up with the Wivenhoe Photography group and we decided to go into town to try and capture people out shopping. We met up and all separated in different directions, when you point a camera straight at someone you tend to get a mix of reactions, some people look unhappy about it and avoid you, others move in closer and positively pose…please click on the link to see my other shots.http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/colchester_town Thanks for looking.

as I have seen in one autumnal face

Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift
Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars,
Beading thy path--condense eternity:
And we have seen night lifted in thine arms.

( An excerpt from the poem To Brooklyn Bridge By Hart Crane )
