Wivenhoe Wonderland

_MG_9270

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields,

_MG_9267

Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven,

_MG_9239

And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end.
The steed and traveler stopped, the courier’s feet

Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Walking in Essex

Following a shoot on Saturday I decided to go for a walk in Brightlingsea. I followed the path from behind the Beach Huts along by the water to Arlesford Creek. It was cold but a beautiful day and I was so glad I had taken my camera with me. The light was simply perfect and as I wandered about choosing different clouds to shoot I suddenly spotted a dark swarm on the horizon and realise that a large flock of Geese are on the move and heading my way…..

It is at this point I am regretting only bringing one lens with me! As they swoop and curve over, the noise of them chattering and flapping fills the air around me. On the ground their shadows seem to move in slow motion and remind me of a clip I once saw in a Pink Floyd video of dark aircraft shapes moving as one.

I stand in wonder at the ever changing scenery in front of me..

After putting on a very impressive air display they finally settle down in a field near by.

Then I approach the creek which is still and silent and illuminated like a freshly painted picture.
