243/365 Weathered fence

The fence between our house and the neighbour above has weathered over time. I like to find patterns and textures in nature and would rather see the texture in wood than have it painted.

60/365 Near Vicarwood Farm

I did something rare today. I went for a long walk! (Long for me that is!) I had an unexpected window of opportunity in some glorious weather (apart from a chill wind) to walk over the hill featured in a previous blog photo, 34/365 Snow on the landscape. I walked along the curved track and beyond the trees listening to Beautiful South and then Elton John on my ipod and trying out my new filter holder, polariser and nd grad filter. Bliss, apart from that chill wind. (Did I just type 'bliss' in the same paragraph as 'long walk'?? Blimey... I'm in danger of getting fit 'ere!)

I encountered lots of dog walkers and a couple of students who were on bikes, one of whom is also a photographer. Maybe I'll go again another day, next year perhaps! ;0)
