I call this Remade in England because I shot a slightly different version of this scene about six months earlier with quite different lighting. / / I’d imagined that there’d be only one way it could ever catch my eye but, one evening, it caught my eye again as the light was so different. / /

This picture is called ‘The Old Fen Tree’. Like the Fens it still stands come rain or shine. It is still there, still barren, still reaching, still nature, still dead, still beautiful.

This image was taken the same day as ‘The Old Fen Tree’ when these intense storm clouds added atmosphere to the flat desolate fields with their discarded barns.

Picture taken in summer 2007 at my friend Patty-Lou’s summer house who was empty as she was fighting a breast cancer. Now she’s done with chemo and the tumor has been totally removed. She will be back this summer and this is the most fantastic news I ever heard. This work is dedicated to her, her husband and their two daughters.

He and his wife vacationed in Sarasota in the early 1900’s and purchased their bayfront property in 1912. , Ca d’Zan, now stands. Combining their love for Sarasota with their love of baroque art, they decided to build a museum on the estate grounds and fill it with the finest paintings and objects that they could ever buy. When John Ringling died, he left to the State of Florida over 600 paintings, including the world’s largest private collection of works by Peter Rubens, and lots of other objects – prints, drawings, sculptures, antiques, pottery, jewelry, and furniture. Today, visitors from around the world visit this wonderful complex looking over Sarasota Bay. The Art Museum, Ca d’Zan, the Ringling Mansion and the Museum of the Circus are all open to the public for a single admission. The beautifully landscaped grounds contain over 400 kinds of Florida trees, plants and flowers, garden figures and Mable’s historic rose garden. The Banyan Cafe is open for lunch or a snack. Visitors can browse through three gift shops located on the grounds. Sony Cybershot DSC H 7

There is something just so elegant and beautiful about the Fens in Black and White that i grow daily in my love for the simple starkness and wonderful feeling of space.

The feeling of freedom, to breathe once again and feel the wind as it sweeps across the open fields. I feel the solitude and the tranquility, lift my face and feel the purity of the air, it envelopes me stroking me and i embrace it willingly. Here i could lay me down and die in the arms of the elements all alone slipping into eternal conciousness…...........into the arms of my Beloved Maker…........... Taken just outside of Ramsey Cambridgeshire, part of the great Fens! / Canon Eos 400D

Ely Cathedral was built by William the Conqueror as a prominent outpost after the bloody and lengthy rebellion by Hereward the Wake. Ely Cathedral (in full, The Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Ely) is the principal church of the diocese of Ely, in Cambridgeshire, England, and the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Ely. It is known locally as “the ship of the Fens”, because of its prominent shape that towers above the surrounding flat and watery landscape.

! Did you know that 20, 000 years ago, almost all of Canada and the Northern United States was covered by a giant glacier. When the glacier melted, it left a tremendous amount of water all over Ontario in the form of lakes, rivers and wetlands. There are many kinds of wetlands , that you are probably familiar with like marshes, swamps and bogs but the one before you is actually a FEN. Biologically, wetlands like marshes are among the most productive habitants on Earth. They receive plenty of light and water, which makes them perfect for plant growth, and they provide food for many animals. Wetlands like bogs and fens, however tend to be less productive because their water is stagnant, cold, low in oxygen and nutrients, and acidic. Nonetheless, they are “Home Sweet Home” to many perserving plants. Would you consider having a BATH in a Fen? Probaly not, but waterways can be compared to bathtubs, to illustrate how they function. Lakes are like giant rocky bathtubs, connected by pipes (rivers and streams) that keep water, oxygen, and nutrients flowing in and out. A bog is like a SEALED bathtub with no water exchange so it becomes stagnant. A FEN is somewhere in betwen a lake and a bog. It is like a bathtub that has LEAKY sides (so ground water flows in) and a leaky DRAIN ( so water flows out). Black spruce, one of the first, cold resistant trees to follow the retreat of the glaciers, is one of the best fen and bog dwellers to grow here. Peat, (dead vegetation) tends to accumulate also in it rathre decompose because the conditions are inhospitable to bacteria and most fungi. Sometimes this peat can be many meters thick. The stringy roots of the Blue Spuce intertwine through the spongy MAGNUM MOSS mat and it survives on a minimum of nutrients, growing slowly, managing to sprout only their branches. Magnum moss can absorb up to 200 times its weight in moisture! How old do you think these trees are? One tree with a diameter of only 5cm., was found to be 78 years old! Now that folks is a SUPER-SPRUCE Interesting NOTE: In Europe people have actually died in bogs and fens, and their bodies have been found in perfect condition hundreds of years later Info gleaned from the Ontario Provincial Parks pamphlet guide. Location: Taken on the Fen in Blue Lake Provincial Park in Northern Ontario. Camera Details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, 55mm Lens, Aperture exp 5.6, Shutter speed 1/400, ISO 100 HDR enhanced….Tripod mounted…. blending five exposures…. +2,+1,0,-1,-2 using Photomatix HDR software

www.flindtphotography.com The quaintly named Strumpshaw Fen is a beautiful RSPB site at which can be seen kingfishers, marsh harriers and (if you’re very lucky) the highly elusive bittern. Another star attraction at Strumpshaw Fen is the swallow butterfly. On this visit we did not see a bittern or a kingfisher; and, given the time of year, we were not surprised to find that the swallowtail butterfly was nowhere to be seen. But then, who needs elusive butterflies or birds when you find yourself presented with a dilapidated, water-filled rowing boat and such a spectacular sunset as this? Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 1/5 second at f/14.
