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
These grand old giants are at Woodwalton Fen, home of the Great Fen Project in Cambridgeshire, England. Another of my shots of the Fen Fenland Shack To find out more about the Great Fen Project click here
The Fens = The Sky. / everyday is a photo opportunity.
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.
Flag Fen at Peterborough is one of Europe’s most important bronze-age sites This drawing has been created to raise money for this important site and any profits made from sales on Red Bubble I will donate to this worthy cause. / Original drawn using karisma pencils on smooth cartridge paper (approx 50 hours work)
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.
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.
this is the guest room of the Ca D Zan / ( Sarasota, Florida, Ringling Brothers Museum) The Ca D’Zan The sixth of the seven Ringling brothers of Baraboo, Wisconsin, John Ringling was one of the founders of the famous circus. 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

This is Woodwalton Fen part of the Great Fen Project in Cambridgeshire, England. It is the closest thing to wilderness to my home. A Fenland Shack can be found here Also see The Bog Oak Three To find out more about the Great Fen Project click here
Snapped this while walking the Lurchers the other morning. I also saw a Barn Owl hunting along the hedge row and a couple of mad march Hares.
This must be the Fen’s version of a Red Barn in the US. These black tar covered buildings are dotted around East Anglia and most are in this state. This shot is part of my The Great Fen series including The Bog Oak Three To find out more about the Great Fen Project click here
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. / /
I noticed a large group of mallards huddled together in the lone spot on the river that isn’t frozen yet. This Female was very cooperative. Muddy River in the Back Bay Fens / Boston, Massachusetts January 13, 2009
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.
Fenêtre, robe et petite fleur means window, dress and small flower in french for those of you who did not study it =o) Some more photography styles I am trying…I’m personally really happy with this =o) I feel a new series coming on …
A slightly different view of Billingborough Fen, Lincolnshire, England. / / I ended up revisiting it about six months later. / /
When you think of England, you tend to think about its rolling green hills and pleasant countryside…but East Lincolnshire is mostly flat fenland as far as the eye can see… not exactly a great place for landscape photography, with only occasional farm buildings, windmills, churches and these damned electricity pylons, to add any interest to mile after mile of flat agricultural farmland.
