Detail of a climbing frame at Belton Park in Lincolnshire in England. / /
This old fashioned fair ground ride comes to Grantham a couple of times a year, when they close the main street to traffic and let the fair take over. I have lots of good nightime photos of various rides, but this is my all time favorite as I’ve actually sold five copies of this image to various people who live locally.
I was chasing a hot air balloon across south east Lincolnshire trying to get close enough for a decent picture of it when I spotted some wind turbines at Deeping St Nicholas. The sun was going down so I decided to take some pictures of these instead (never did get close enough to that balloon) this is my favorite one of the series. BTW I never appreciated just how HUGE they are, I managed to walk across the fields right up to one and climbed its steps… I felt like an ant next to it.

I lay in a dry ditch, camera at the ready as this Hare hopped past me. He hadn’t seen me, hadn’t smelt me, and didn’t know I was even there, he spent ages with his back to me, just nibbling at the sweet grass. The sun shone relentlessly on me and I hardly dared to breath. He was close, really close and the first click of the camera’s shutter was going to scare him away. The smallest movement from me caught his attention, was I a fox? should he run? maybe if he just kept still the danger would pass. Trying to get the camera to focus on him and not the blades of grass between us was tricky, at times like this you wish you’d paid the extra money and bought a quieter lens. Now or never…click… like a clap of thunder the shutter did it’s thing and he bolted for safety. Leaving me lying in a ditch on the edge of those summer meadows, alone again.

“Well I think it’s gonna be one of those nights, R.Whites…” This [enormous, rather heavy looking] fridge is practically the only thing not looted from the kitchens of the Sergeant’s Mess, I wonder why..?!! For this shot I propped up the Nightsearcher inside to get raking shadows through the shelves.
The lighting & general arrangement in this corridor had an almost ‘old master’ feel to it… Whilst not the most exciting part of the Sergeant’s Mess, this has never the less ended up being my favourite shot from that outing.

There seems to be a storm brewing up over Belmont in Lincolnshire. This amazing field full of poppies is supposed to be a field of oil seed rape, the supplies to the farmers allegedly top up the rape seeds with the cheaper poppy seeds.
Another image from my ‘green room’ series, shot at ABM. This time I elected to concentrate on light and composition instead of colour. It would have been so easy to crank up the red on the ‘Ladder Safety’ poster… but I like the darker B&W mood here rather more. At full magnification it is still possible to read every word of the ‘Ode to Roger’ pinned on the noticeboard.

Believed to be the oldest man-made navigation in the country that is still navigable, the Fossdyke stretches 11 miles from the River Trent at Torksey Lock and arrives at Brayford Pool. More information on the Fossdyke Canal can be found on the Waterscape website. / Following the Fossdyke and the Witham through the ages Early history / Some historians and archaeologists believe that the Fossdyke Canal was built by the Romans around 120AD to link the River Trent with their city at Lincoln. The earliest definite documentary reference to the Fossdyke Canal is from 1121. 13th century – 16th century / Waterways were responsibility of various landowners and the Church; maintenance inefficient and by 17th century almost impassable (though Lincoln still England’s 4th largest port in 13th century) 18th – 19th century / Fossdyke is leased to various parties – on understanding that trading profits would be used to maintain the waterway 1753 / Act of Parliament leads to straightening and dredging of Witham and Fossdyke 1766 / Grand Sluice and lock built at Boston to protect Witham from tide and flood damage Early 1800s / Major schemes to alleviate problems caused by mud in the tidal section of the Witham between the coast and Boston.
