Birds on Cannock Chase

We spent a few hours on the Chase, watching the birds again at the weekend which was very enjoyable. Here are a few from the day:

Witley Court ~ The Tumbledown Palace

Chrissy Marie — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:48:43 +0000

We paid a return visit to Witley Court. I was kind of hoping to get some working fountain shot but it has been turned off for the winter. But, you can never normally get images with reflections so there is always a bonus. Witley Court is mnaged by the English Heritage Site charity and has had a very sad history over the years. I look at it now and am almost saddened by it’s loss but astounded by the volume of cash it must have taken to have been built and landscaped in the first place. A few shots….

Perseus and Andromeda fountain

Skywatch Friday ~ Sunrise over Bridgnorth

We went out last Saturday to capture images in our town of the dawn ~ a little unusual for me

All taken from the Castle Walk.

Other Skywatch images from around the world can be found on the Skyley blogspot.

Skywatch Friday ~ River Severn

Well continuing the Autumn theme, on a very still day down in Severn Valley…….

I enjoyed the first Autumnal reflections.

Autumn at Arley Arboretum

A few images taken on a lovely day yesterday at Arley Arboretum in the Severn Valley.

Skywatch Friday ~ Rays of Light

Chrissy Marie — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:33:02 +0000

This one was taken last month in Skiathos. I am seriously hoping to catch some more rays as it is a great time of year for them in the UK too. Most especially on those misty mornings which don’t look to be too far away, the temperature is definately going down. More great images of the sky can be found from around the world on Skywatch Friday. Have a good one everyone

Skiathos Macro

Once again in Skiathos I took full opportunity of the light for some macro photography. These are a few of my favourite shots:

Skywatch Friday ~ Not a Cloud in the Sky

Ironbridge in Lights

Chrissy Marie — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:34:13 +0000

After arriving back from our holidays, I was reminded by a friend that the Ironbridge festival was on. I was by far too out of practice for the fireworks but had a great time taking the bridge lit up in many colours.

The celebration this year marked 25 years as World Heritage Site. For those that don’t know, this bridge was built by Abraham Darby in iron which opened in 1791 and marked the beginning of the industrial revolution.

For those of you that prefer fireworks, there are some on Andy’s blog ~ link opposite

Skywatch Friday ~ Bridgnorth Walkabout

Chrissy Marie — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 21:10:08 +0000

I am so bad for forgetting about Friday when it is a Thursday…yes I can see people rolling their eyes and rightly so!!! So my apologies for being a little late..
However, I do have some lovely blue sky images from the weekend from a walkabout locally. Some of you may have seen some pics on my better half’s blog but, we never see the same things ~ the joy of photography is that it is a lot like art…and we all see a different picture!

No sky here but this sign outside a local pub…just because it made me laugh

Followed by some flowers because I can…

Finally, if there are any funicular railway fans…here you are complete with blue skies and fluffy clouds.

Happy Skywatch to everyone
