Detail of a climbing frame at Belton Park in Lincolnshire in England. / /
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.

“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.
Built in 1907, the Sheraton started life as a trawler but was later used as a Radar Ship. Later in her life she was moored on the Lincolnshire side of the Wash to be used as a target ship. In 1947 she broke free from her mooring in a gale and drifted on to the beach at Hunstanton. The ship was sold to scrap dealers and now only a section of the hull remains.

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. Witham was also straightened and deepened between Lincoln and Boston. 1846 / Witham and Fossdyke leased to Great Northern Railway Company End 19th century / Both navigations running at a loss Early 1950s / Regular barge traffic along Witham ceased 1964 / Brayford Pool cleared, 25 wrecked boats removed 1969 / Brayford Trust established 1972 / Commercial carrying along Fossdyke Canal ceased Canon 5D Mk2 / ISO 100 / F16 / 24-105L @ 30mm

This is Hubbards Hills in Louth, Lincolnshire showing all the colours of autumn. / Hubbard’s Hills is a glacial overspill channel formed as the last ice ended about 40,000 years ago. A marginal lake of meltwater trapped between glacial ice sheet and the Lincolnshire Wolds spilled over a chalk ridge and gouged a steep sided valley with a flat bottom. The river Lud, far too small to create such a valley, now flows through it. Please visit me at my website / PaulThompsonPhotography Canon 5D Mk2 / F16 / ISO 100
