Thank you Adrian - right place, right time - for a change. I saw them glowing golden against the dark background clouds as we approached the field but other clouds kept cutting off the sunlight so we had to wait for just the right moment.
What an extraordinary photo! Wonderful shot indeed :) inspiring some fun in the form of a limerick...
The man with his dog and the trees: A capture of John’s expertise! The shadows are playing, And what they are saying Is John has been chopped at the knees :)
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
A mainly pictorial record of the wildlife and events in my part of Lincolnshire. My garden has two bird nest boxes and a Hedgehog house fitted with video cameras. There are several bird feeders and a large pond attracting a variety of wildlife to the garden.
Most of the pictures in the main part of my Jottings can be clicked on for larger views.
Many of my video clips are stored on my YouTube account.
Thank you for visiting and remember you are always welcome to leave any comments. John.
. For many years I always had my trusty Ricoh XRX SLR with me wherever I went. One day the mirror jammed and repair costs were beyond my reach at that time so that was the end of that.
Now I am retired and have invested in Canon equipment I am able to enjoy a photographic hobby again. These days I concentrate mainly on wildlife and occasional events near to home.
My interest and use of computers extends back to the days of the ZX81 and BBC computer. For many years I used an Atari ST. I wonder if anyone remembers my Atari programs - JCLabel, JCView, etc..
Superb light you caught it perfectly.

DeleteExcellent photos John :) A large part of photography is being opportunistic and capturing a scene which isn't around for too long.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. Within 5 minutes of taking those it was overcast and raining.

'Twas a chance not to be missed once I spotted the long shadows and Penny was very obliging to stay in the right place.
DeleteLove the limerick - thanks Glo.
Magical light John.
ReplyDeleteIt was Keith. The trees were such a brilliant golden colour against the dark clouds.
