Snowy Village

A view along a snowy track towards the village of Cholsey. This is a stitch photo I took a while ago. The track is an old Roman road that went through the village once and used to lead to common land until the railway came through, it now leads to Silly Bridge.

Afon Marteg

The  Afon Marteg is the river you see flowing through the valley here, the photo is taken from the rail embankment that forms the bridge over it. The Marteg flows from here and joins up with the Wye.

The hill with the plateau in the distance I think is called Moelfryn. 

Lost Railway

You may find this hard to believe but just over 52 years ago a railway ran by this river in Wales, it's just below the dark green conifer trees behind an embankment. It was closed in 1961 in the Beeching cutbacks.

The old rail line is now used as a footpath.

Lost Daffodils

I took this  photo of a bunch of daffodils  five years ago outside the building I worked in they used t be a welcome sight in the spring.

Sadly you can no longer see them as they built a carpark where they were growing

The Emprie strkes back

This dish is on the Rutherford campus where I work and it part of the space science program, it moves around periodically to a different position but on this occasion it reminded me of an Ion Canon from the film the Empire strikes back.

Bicycles rack

A typical scene  in Oxford Bicycles along Market Street.

Hard at work

It's a miserable rainy morning here today so I thought a colorful picture to brighten the morning up. A bee hard at work collecting pollen from a flower in our garden.

A Favorite View

This is one of my Favorite views, it's taken from Aberedw Hill not far from Built Wells in Wales. Below is Fforest Fields Campsite and well in the distance you can see the hills near New Radnor

I never tire of this view.

A couple of Snowmen

On a visit to Fairmile hospital for a quick update on the progress of the site I spotted these two snowmen on the cricket field.

In the background is the old Hospital and the refurbished cricket pavilion.

Robin on a post

This little fellow was hopping round on the post looking for food before flying off across the lane to another post. The River Thames is in the background.
