Stourhead lake at the height of Autumn, 2006. Stourhead is a National Trust owned country estate in Wiltshire, South West England, with a Georgian Palladian mansion. The gardens are designed by Henry Hoare II and Henry Flitcroft and filled with little neoclassical features, like the bridge and temples. The lake is filled by the nearby spring of the River Stour.

I went to sixth form in Shaftesbury, but haven't been back to the town many times since I got into photography. This is the best shot I've managed of Gold Hill so far: the sun was shining! Not perfect yet though: I did a bad job clone stamping out somebody walking up, but I couldn't be bothered either doing a proper job, or waiting for the street to clear because I didn't know how long the van was going to be there, so gave up for the day. If you don't recognise it, put on Dvorak's New World, and it should click.

Enjoying an encore. The Nikkor 50mm f1.8 does its magic.

Benn attributes his longevity to his annual trip to the Tolpuddle Festival. I've forgotten where he was in the speech at this exact moment, but I seem to recall the arm gestures was part of an anecdote about somebody.

I just threw this together in ten minutes because I'd already seen that output of the better prepared, equiped and talented flickerites and knew I couldn't compete. Cropped from 200mm at f5.6, ISO 400, and variously 1-2secs. Sharpness wasn't helped by the buildup of condensation on the lens, and the fact that focusing was probably affected by the thing cooling down.

St Phillip's Cathedral

Large version - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 18 Aug 2007

The Anglican cathedral in Birmingham, with its first Bishop, Charles Gore, outside. The building was constructed in 1715 as a parish church, when St Martin's proved insufficient for the city's growing population. It was consecrated as a cathedral in 1905 when Gore split the Diocese of Worcester to create the Diocese of Birmingham. Because of its origins as a parish church, it is the third smallest cathedral in England, after Derby and Chelmsford.The grade I listed cathedral is of brick faced with stone, in the Baroque Style. The original architect was Thomas Archer, though it was enlarged in the 19th century by Birmingham architect J.A. Chatwin. Stained glass windows are by Edward Burne-Jones, and were saved from bombing in WWII by the civic society.
