  • This famous landmark is the Main A road that runs between Wimborne and Blandford through the Kingston Lacy Estate in Dorset – it is famous for the tunnel of beautiful old beech trees that line the road, which in the Summer is a cooling arch of green and the Autumn is a tunnel of gold. / These are so old and becoming dangerous that they are gradually being felled, new ones have been planted but to the far edge of the wide grass verges which will not have the same effect so once they have all been felled it will never look quite the same again. / Normally quite a busy road, as in anything I try to shoot that moves, the cars suddenly disappeared lol – giving me enough time to take this from the middle of the road almost unheard of!! / /

  • It’s noon in October and I’m glancing out of the window from my house in Bath, looking at the sky. There isn’t a cloud in sight; no good for a landscape shot; there is no drama; no mood. But that’s okay; I’ve been waiting for a day like today for two weeks now; guaranteed light at sunset filtering through the trees of a beech avenue I remember from my childhood. As it turns out the only difficulty with this shot is getting a clear road; a little more patience required; I’m not known for being patient, but when outdoors I guess I’m a different person. I’m using a polarising filter to saturate the autumnal colours. Wth perfect side lighting twenty minutes before sunset, it’s an agonising six second exposure; will a car ruin the magical tranquility of the shot. No. Not this time anyway. Et voila… Technical Details: Aperture – F16.0 / Exposure – 6 Secs / Focal Length – 82 mm / Camera – Canon EOS 40D / Lens – Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L USM / Filter – Polariser / Location – Wimborne, Dorset

  • Half an hour before sunset and the low angle of the sun brings out the rich autumn colours of the beech avenue within the Kingston Lacy Estate, Dorset.

  • Our lace leaf maple is interesting all year ‘round, and I love to watch the colors as they change from deep green to burgundy to burnt sienna, orange and yellow. When it dropped most of its leaves last fall, they curled into danciful, fanciful patterns, and asked me to paint them. 10”x 6” on Arches 140 Cold Press. Below are the paintings and photographs on my new 2010 calendar: !http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/mattecolor:black/product:matted-

  • There are references to the “Whitemill” (the building of ‘A Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill) in the year 1175 and again in 1326. What is, perhaps, significant is that other places appear to have taken their names from Whitemill (Whitemill Farm, Whitemill Bridge) rather than the mill taking its name from the village. In 1326 we find a deed: “John Chyke to Peter le Boyt – all his tenements at Wytemull… together with part of his mill” which hints that the mill may once have been “Wytemull Mill”. It is possible that an earlier building on the site, presumably of timber framed construction, might have been limewashed. A more likely explanation ties in with the fact that a former chalk pit (now the car park) behind the mill, and that the west end of the building appears to stand on an artificial island made largely from chalk. So it wouldn’t just have been the mill that was white, the whole area would have been white from all the chalk. The mill was rebuilt in 1776 on much older foundations, on a site that is older still. The present mill worked under water power until 1866 when a severe winter flood breached the diversionary works in the river so severely that they were deemed beyond economic repair. By this time the miller was also the local baker so, rather than simply closing the mill, he converted one half of it to run from a portable steam engine in order to keep his bakehouse supplied with flour. Commercial milling however appears to have ended with the flood. With the retirement of the last miller, around the end of the Nineteenth century, the working life of the mill came to an end and the millstones came to rest. After the turn of the century, the tenancy changed hands a couple of times in quick succession and the building spent the next 85 years rotting away as little more than a farm shed. Whitemill, along with the rest of the Kingston Lacy estates, was bequeathed to the National Trust by Ralph Bankes in 1982, but it wasn’t until 1994 that the Trust found the resources (£300,000) to begin the painstaking conservation of the property. The body of the current mill is built of brick, but the Wheelchamber is of quality stone construction. This stonework dates, we are told, to sometime in the fourteenth century, around the period when the Duke of Lancaster held the manor as a grant from the King. It is clear that when it came to the 1776 re-build, the builders considered that the power-plant was good enough to retain even though the superstructure (probably timber framed) was ruined. This fourteenth century dating is reinforced by the discovery of timbers in the foundations, during the underpinning of the river end wall, which have been radio-carbon dated to the same era. It is probable that the current mill is simply the last in a long line of rebuilds on the same foundations.

  • This is the first photograph I am uploading using a totally new technique. An experiment really, but one which I am enjoying immensely. Pryere – is kindly taking the photographs of this new series, for which I thank him. I would also like to mention Stephen Russell – Lacy who writes….For when the love of self no longer rules our hearts, then we rise above our worries concerning the transient things of the world.

  • Lilies always inspire me to see them through different eyes. My fave flowers. Thanks for visiting!!

  • My son, Shaun, and I went out, the other day, looking for birds to photograph. Every time we spotted one, it would fly away by the time we got the cameras turned on. We’d turn them off again, and a new one would appear. We finally found several in a neighbor’s backyard. Just as we started taking pictures, she let her dog outside and he scared them away. After a couple hours of walking, we thought we were going to come home empty handed. We came across these wildflowers next to the railroad tracks. I loved the way the setting sun backlit them, giving them a delicate appearance like fairy wings. “Wildflowers” is featured in the LIGHT AND REFLECTION and COLOR AND LIGHT Groups.
