Market Day by Richard Veal
Fresh veg on a market stall in Wimborne Market, Dorset. / All the colours caught my eye. / I focussed on the middle of the stall to slightly ‘blur’ the front and rear of the veg, and also just showing some of the prospective buyers of the goods on display. Thanks for looking. / Hope you like it. Image Info. / 6.79mb. / 3346×5013. / 400 dpi. / 1/90 second. / f4.5. / 26mm focal length. / 200 iso.

Spans by Richard Veal
This little bridge is the old road bridge that spans the River Frome on the B3070, just off the A352 at Holmebridge, a mile West of Wareham, Dorset. / After so many attempts at editing, this was the best I could come up with. Hope you like it. / Thank you for looking. Best Viewed Large.

Stained Glass by Richard Veal
Taken in the 12c Church in Winterborne Whitchurch, Dorset. / The village is on the A350 between Dorchester and Blandford Forum, and the church can be found on the Milton Abbas road. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it. Best Viewed Large.
-
The Castle by Richard Veal
This is Corfe Castle, which lies between Wareham and Swanage, in Dorset. / The castle can be seen from far away, as it dominates the Purbeck Hills. / I decided to put on the B&W tinted version as the main picture, and below, you will see the colour version. Both have been edited in CS3, just to make them a little different from the usual pics you see. I hope you like it. / Thank you for looking.
-
Stour Bridge by Richard Veal
This is the bridge at Sturminster Marshal in Dorset. / The river is the Stour, which rises in Wiltshire, and enters the sea at Christchurch/Mudeford. I am glad the horse riders were crossing the bridge, as it gives more of a country look, and adds scale to the picture. / I also added an extra layer and gave it a slight blur to give a sense of movement in the horses. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it.
-
Golden Cross by Richard Veal
This cross can be found in Wimborne Minster, Wimborne, Dorset. / I wanted to capture it like this, with the main focus on the cross, and the Stained Glass Window being a blur in the background. I hope you like it. / Thanks for looking. Image Info. / 4.48mb. / 3346×5013. / 400 dpi. / 1/45 second. / f5.6. / 55mm focal length. / 800 iso.

Fowler Ploughing Engine by Paul Woloschuk
A 1916 Fowler Ploughing Engine. No.14257 Reg KE2494 owned by Mr M Jones, Droitwich, Worcs. at the Heddington Steam Fair, Wiltshire July 2009. These magnificent specialist engines were a fairly common sight in the English countryside as they cultivated the land before the introduction of the Diesel tractor. / Working in pairs at either end of a field, they would pull a plough or a cultivator steered by an operator across the field and then back again, moving along after each pull until the whole field was finished. I was lucky enough to be part of a small group of enthusiasts who worked on restoring a pair of these engines in Essex in the 1970s. Nikon D80. Nikkor 18-135mm

Port of Poole Pano by RedHillDigital
Port of Poole Pano Location: Poole, Dorset, England. A shot taken from Poole town bridge overlooking the quay (left)and harbour area. The quay, although retaining most of its pubs and original warehouse buildings has in my opinion suffered since the demise and redevelopment of the former Poole Pottery site. Much of the former dockland area (right of shot) is now taken up by Sunseeker’s super yacht construction facility. Despite rumours of them wanting to move their manufacturing base elsewhere, Sunseeker remains own of the town’s major employers. Date: 1st July 2009 BEST VIEWED LARGER

Bare trees frame the windows in the wall of Highcliffe Castle, Dorset, late in the afternoon, even in the slightly thin sunlight. Grade 1 listed building. March, 2009.
About This Group
Wessex is the ancient kingdom which now basically consists of the counties of Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Hampshire and parts of Gloucestershire. I have a certain amount of flexibility as to where the borders are in respect of submissions.
There is a wonderful breadth of available material, from the ancient Stonehenge to the modern technology of the aviation and boat worlds, modern architecture etc. We have historical sites, coastline and an abundance of nature.
Please scroll down for the group’s rules – please read them and comply, especially regarding the location of your images, which must be included in either the title or in the description so people looking at the group’s work know where they are seeing
