2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Admiral’s Folly
Location: Admiral’s Park, Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: The sun showed its face again today, so I took a quick trip to Admiral’s Park to get some photos before lunch. This folly was casting nice shadows on the grass.

Title: High Street Illuminations
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Hobson’s Choice with photos for today: I only took two, as I was busy at meetings for most of the day. Found myself in Chelmsford late this afternoon, and took this “insurance” shot of the Christmas lights. It’s not exactly Blackpool, is it?

Title: Marina Reflections
Location: Springfield Lock
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I took the opportunity to nip out for a breath of fresh air while the sun was shining today. And find another geocache or two. Once again, geocaching has taken me to a spot which I didn’t even know existed, and it’s lovely. It’s along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, just downstream of the Essex Record Office, and is about the last bit of civilisation before you hit the more rural paths along the canal.

Title: Car Park Silhouette
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: A lovely sunny day for a change. I spotted this silhouette on the way back to the car after a meeting in Chelmsford.

Title: Marconi’s World
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I bagged my first “First To Find” geocache today. Somewhere not far from here. I’m saying no more

Title: Cater House In The Can
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Meetings, meetings, meetings. This week seems to have been nothing but. And another one for me today in Chelmsford. The sun was out and the sky blue, so I shot this view of Cater House reflected in the River Can, as I was on my way to the venue.

Title: Vortex
Location: Oaklands Park, Chelmsford
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: A strange sculpture I found in the park.
