Curled up asleep

This is our whippet when t was a puppy, we had just brought her home and she was so tuckered out that she fell asleep beside my shoes.

Sky Trails

Everyone seems to be showing photo's of vapor trails in the sky left by Aircraft flying past. I took this one outside my house a few years ago as the sun was setting

Today it is two for the price of one as I could not make my mind up which to use

Branches of Ice

I spotted this on the road from Wallingford to Didcot and had to go and take a photo, it's not something you see everyday but no doubt others of you do. It's formed by cars splashing through a puddle nearby.

Probably would have looked better with a blue sky.

Snowdrops in the Church

Not going to say where this one is I'll keep you hanging and let you read about it in My Grave Place blog next week.

I will say the place was in a film years ago.

A Street In Reading

Taken looking towards Broad Street in Reading, the wood framed building is the George Hotel. Once you could drive down here now it's a pedestrian area.

 

Nant-y-Gro

It's a few years since I visited this place but the small valley you see to the left is one full of history and played it's part in the second wold war as it was where they did some of the tests for the Dam Busters Raid.

If you wondering what I am taking about then read this blog.

Rainbow over the clumps

I took this a few years ago on the way home from work. As you can see it's a rainbow arching over a Place called Wittenham Clumps. The large one on the right is an Iron Age Hill Fort which is worth looking round. The bump with the tree on to the far right is called Brightwell Barrow.

The Houses you see in the middlle are West Hagbourne.

A RIng of Eight

Ever wonder what was in a bell tower of an English church, well here is your answer. A peel of eight bells in Cholsey Church Tower

I was hanging through the roof hatch to take this.

A Southern Church

During my time working at Oxford Instruments I used to go out installing the equipment, one of the trips took me to Tallahassee in Florida where I saw this wonderful old Southern Church 

I was told later it still had the slave gallery but unfortunately I never did go inside to look. It was taken many years ago on 35mm film

Shrouded in mist

It is a very foggy morning today so I though a misty sunrise would be in order.  The bridge is the Moulsford Viaduct or Four Arches as it is know localy and crosses the River Thames.

I doubt somehow you would have see it this morning it was so foggy this photo was taken back in 2006.
