Chinese Bridge

Another from a day of freezing fog at Croome Landscape Park in Worcestershire. This is the rather nice Chinese Bridge, which was rebuilt a few years ago using 'Green' Oak.

A spring sunset at Croome Court

A gorgeous but fleeting Spring sunset lit up the honey coloured stone of Croome Court. The effect was enhanced by the sun picking out the bursting buds of the tree and by catching the bottom of the low shower clouds above.

A touch of late sun enhances the honey coloured stone of Croome Court and it's church on the hill.

Island
Worcestershire Beacon

This shot follows on from the last one (Happy New Year), and this was the sight I was confronted by when I emerged from the fog and the trees, and began climbing hgher onto Worcestershire Beacon. Pinnacle Hill was an island in a sea of fog that stretched for miles and miles in all directions, whilst above the winter sun shone down brightly on those of us who were lucky enough to share the spectacle.

Hello again, haven't had the space to come on here over the last couple of weeks... I'm looking forward to seeing what you have been up to while I've been away.

Here's another from a particularly fine evening down at Croome Park when the shower clouds were catching the setting sun. The Chinese Bridge is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, built out of 'green' oak by the Green Oak Carpentry Company and is a replica of the original that was lost beneath the murky waters of the Croome River over 150 years ago.
