Trip 10 - wild nights and mud

(0) Comments comments icon

I was off on a stereotypes trip again, first a couple of days down in Kent on the south coast, then nearly a week in Essex. I was thinking wide boys, white stilettos and motorways. Of course I am a landscape photographer, not a paparazzi, so there was no chance of white stilettos, and I normally try to avoid the wide boys, especially wild camping on their land. I…

(I won't finish till April 2012 with at least another 38 locations to shoot.)

Sympathetically, The Wildlife Trusts…

(0) Comments comments icon

After the craziness of mucho, or is that macho, cycling in Wales and the South West of England, this trip was a relative holiday. Hardly any cycling as the locations were close together, or so far apart that I was on public transport. And as we go into autumn the days are shorter so I can lie in till 05:30 and still be up and about with a camera…
