Topic: Boats and Ships
Wicken Fen, June 2019
A walk (and boat trip) around Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire. One of the oldest nature reserves - 1899! - and the fifth property bought by the National Trust.
Random bits
Some games that didn't quite make it...
Riverside Festival, Nottingham, August 2004
The Riverside Festival on the Embankment is a bit like a large country fair - fairground rides, traction engines, crafts and stalls, food from around the world, boat races. On the Saturday night however there's also a huge firework display, where you can sit on the river bank and watch the explosions across the water, reflected in the river.
Italy 2004: Sorrento, 27th March
Out and about in Sorrento
Italy 2004: Amalfi Drive, 31st March (part 2)
This somehow became a VERY long section so I've split it into three (only quite long) sections. This section contains walking around a town (Ravello?), and going on a boat trip.
Colwick Country Park, January 2004
A walk in the sunshine around Colwick Country Park
Nottingham, Winter 2003-2004
Miscellaneous shots from around Nottingham, including: around the Council House at Christmas; snow in the garden; and some industrial buildings around the canal down to Meadow Lane.
Docklands 2
Going back to the docklands hosting facility to fix my broken server. To be honest I only know this because when I came to re-do this gallery for the new, new gallery code I could read it on the first image, a picture of the Icon Bar report into what took the server offline.
Dumfries
Wanting to try out my new camera properly, I volunteered to travel from the south coast of England up to Dumfries in Scotland - a round trip of around 16 hours - just to install one computer. So, the plan was two days of travelling, an hour or so of installing, and the best part of a day photographing. However, as the server ended up taking from 10am to about 4:30pm due to network problems, the following were taken during an extended lunch break while I was trying to figure out what the hell was going wrong...
As the new camera has not only a 10x optical zoom (the same as a good pair of binoculars, and better than my 8x25 binoculars I carry in my backpack) but also lots of new settings for taking landscapes, portraits, action shots, night shots etc., it might look like there are a number of near-duplicate pictures as I play around with the settings. There are also a lot of photographs of birds on a river...
Norfolk 2003
The old version of the website broke galleries into separate pages and directories, and required an introduction page just to show up in the list. This is no longer the case, but to avoid dead search engine links here's a quick overview of some of the photos in the Norfolk 2003 collection!
There are 14 galleries in this section.
