Being there

Bishopswood

Pnewbery — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:56:45 +0000

This photograph was taken in the same location to that of my previous post but several weeks later. Our dogs are often walked through Bishopswood near Sonning Common, the result of always having my camera on me is that I now have hundreds of photos of this woodland.

It’s been a bit slow around here for a while, so I took my camera with me to get some photographs during a walk on cold fresh January morning.

A photograph doesn’t really capture the ethereal magic of Bruce Munro’s famous Field of Light. 1000s of tiny fibre optic lights spread out from the Holburne Museum’s new extension, their reflections twinkling in the glass, and out into the back garden. In the grounds they form pools of light which shimmer and change colour to provide a spectacle of sheer magic.

Philadelphia – Pennsylvania

A visit to Philadelphia concluded a short trip to the US , which had previously taken me to New York City and Princeton. Snow storms the day before had caused me to postpone the trip for 24hrs, patience was luckily rewarded with beautiful weather.

Today I spent several glorious hours in New York City. Perfect temperature for walking about luckily, because I did a lot of it.
