2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Caution: Rudolfs Crossing
Location: White Roding
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: I went to a business networking Christmas Lunch at a very posh country hotel today. On the way, I spotted this sign as I was driving down the A1060, and nearly crashed the car laughing. But there was nowhere to stop, and I would have been late for the meeting. However, on the way back, I managed to find somewhere to pull over and walked back to take the picture. Watch out for Rudolfs on the carriageway!

Title: At The Crossroads
Location: Herongate
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I was supposed to visit a friend’s photographic exhibition in Whitstable today, but the Bank Holiday/road works traffic was so bad on the M25, that I bailed out at Thurrock and came back via the A13 and A128 to Brentwood. Seeing as the weather was so nice, I stopped for a walk around Herongate and Thorndon Park and enjoyed an ice cream in the visitors’ centre.
