Nearly Spring

Flora down in the Bollin Valley, Prestbury, Cheshire. There is a feeling that the worst of winter is over, conditions have turned quite mild though one should always prepare for a super cold ‘snap’ at this time of year. Much of the Bollin Valley is a mess of decayed weeds at this time but occasionally there are odd things that appear to be worthy of a picture.

Orion Over Prestbury, Cheshire

Orion heralds the beginning of 2012 in Prestbury. Starting the New Year with some night-time photo experiments and I’m very happy with the results! This shot was taken from a field just off Chelford Road and the magical essence of this still, quiet, mysterious but optimistic night has been crystallised in this image (for me) it was a 61second exposure — I had no idea what the camera was going to see.

Pods

The Bollin Valley at Prestbury in Cheshire is a mass of deadheads and tangled parchment like grass, it is that time of year when one can find few but occasionally attractive sights — ready for the springtime now!

Prestbury Snow

Still waiting for some decent snow this year, these images were taken in 2010 (Dec 18th) — it was a very cold winter, one of the coldest on record. Re-Processed with HDR and pre-Raphaelite lighting effects.

Fire braziers at St Peters Church

A very busy street party this year which came all the way up New Road with virtually all of the village business owners running street stalls — very pleasant atmosphere.
