I’ve been taking photographs since I was a teenager – and taking them in black and white for more than 35 years. I 'graduated' to large format 5x4 photography in 1994 and since then that's where my photographic energies have been concentrated. My main subject matter is the landscape and its 'micro-landscapes' though I've recently developed a strong interest in photographing in churches and cathedrals. The first entry in this blog (May 2009 - "Tomorrow ...") will tell you what my blog is all about. You'll find much more of my work on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk The B&W images from my blog are linked here. Prints of the black & white images are available for purchase. If you are interested, please follow the 'Print Sales' link on my website. The colour images are from my little digital camera and are not for sale. If you'd like to contact me by email then please do so via the 'Contact' link on my website at: www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/contact.html

#13: Shortwood Spur - Stroudwater Navigation Canal

Definitely Not Navigable

Cygnet Leads The Way

Loving the Duckweed

I planned a shorter walk today as the forecast was for heavy rain this afternoon - and unusually, the forecast was correct. I reached as far as the Stroudwater Navigation before turning back and it certainly was a spectacle with its blanket of bright green duckweed. The very large family of swans seemed to love to feed on it and were obviously thriving - there are seven cygnets! It is a disused canal and as such seems to be a haven for wildlife with its banksides being so overgrown. I found a couple of B&W pictures which I'm looking forward to seeing processed.
