CROWN COURT...

You probably recognise this view it shows Snaresbrook Crown Court with Eagle Pond in the foreground. It's not an easy building to photograph unless you are in the grounds, it tends to be hidden by the trees. However, sometimes everything comes together. Through this gap in the trees the Court could be glimpsed bathed in late afternoon sunlight and with dark rain clouds behind I thought it looked great.

EAGLE POND..

I had a couple of hours to kill yesterday evening,  I realised I hadn't been over to Eagle Pond for a while so I had a wander over there. There was great light for photography around 8 o'clock time, the sun was very low and the light was bathing everything in lovely warm colours. There were a few people about including several joggers. I photographed this one deliberately using a far too slow a shutter speed to give the picture lots of movement. It's not everyone's cup of tea but combined with that beautiful light it's given me a lovely almost  abstract photograph of the evening.    

TOGETHER..

I understand that in popular mythology that a pair of swans stay together for life. I spotted this pair on Eagle Pond last week, although far apart they seem to be mirroring each other in shape and position. Anyway true or not it was beautiful light  for photography and I thought it made a really nice picture. Have a great week.

STILL WATERS..`

Saw this little scene at Eagle Pond a few days ago. Not quite sure why it attracted me but it did, I looked through the viewfinder of my camera and I liked it even more. Maybe it was the birds, maybe the still water, anyway here it is, hope you enjoy it.

SECRET GARDEN..

I discovered this garden some time ago and I posted a photograph taken from the gate. When I was there the other day the gate was open and I was able to look around inside. It was really quiet and peaceful, I discovered this sundial and a new view of Eagle Pond. There is a plaque on the wall from the British Legion saying the garden was opened as a memorial garden in 1997 and a second plaque saying 'In remembrance of the victims of war'. Such a tranquil spot.

It's another hot one. I thought you might appreciate this photograph of a very shady and cool spot that I found early this morning.  If you want to get out of the sun this tranquil place is just over by Eagle Pond.
