The Slow Food Movement
At Linton Zoo, yesterday morning.
Strike a pose, Sport
Before this morning, if you had shown me a picture of a kangaroo doing this, I’d have thought he was a stuffed one, probably taking part in an Australian beer commercial.
But it turned out this was just part of his morning stretching routine.
At Linton Zoo
Actually, I’m quite fierce!
I know I look small, but just get rid of this fence and I’ll show you…
At Linton Zoo this morning.
Making hay wains while the sun shines
Amongst other places, Tilly and I visited Flatford Mill today. A pleasant spot.
It’s famous for being the place where John Constable painted the Hay Wain:
He did so, I expect, because he knew that I would one day take a photo in just that location:
I thought about taking out my easel and oils, but decided his results might still have been better, because he would have had a couple of unfair advantages.
Firstly, he visited when the temperature was above freezing. Secondly, he did so during daylight hours. It’s an issue of exposure, you see — I had to use an 8-second one, and I also nearly died of it 🙂
Trumpington Meadows
Trumpington Meadows is a large new housing development on the southern edge of Cambridge. The houses are, well, modern houses. Perhaps a bit better than some. But the developers have done a nice job of gentle landscaping on the big field between the housing estate and Byron’s Pool. It’s become a favourite dog-walking area.
Last night, a combination of fog and sunset made it look particularly beautiful. One of those times when I kicked myself for not having a proper camera with me: these are iPhone shots.
And if you look carefully (or click for the larger version) you’ll see that this is actually a photo of the M11:
I’m not often grateful to housing developers, so I feel I should give them credit when it’s due!
Once more unto the beach
Hunstanton cliffs, on Monday
Plus ça change…
My brother sent me a nice picture of my niece and nephew yesterday, with the title, “All that really changes is the technology.”
Shuttle ready for departure, Captain
Some late-night photographic fun. It seems amazing now that I thought some of my previous cars were good, despite a total absence of blue LEDs.
