2009 – My Year In Pictures

Title: Stragglers
Location: Galley End
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: The farmers around here always seem to miss a bit when they are harvesting!

Title: Tracks Through The Stubble
Location: High Ongar, Essex
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: We took another afternoon stroll to find some more caches around High Ongar today. Part of the route was on St. Peter’s Way which took us through rolling fields. The crops had been harvested, leaving only the stubble to cast long shadows across the field.

Title: Wheatfields
Location: Great Baddow
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Another month has rolled around, which means it was time for the Chelmsford Flickr Photowalk today. We tackled the Great Baddow to Galleywood leg of the Centenary Circle this time. It looked quite promising on the map, but on the ground the terrain wasn’t terribly interesting. There are only so many pictures you can take of fields of wheat. Plus the light was very hazy, so we were lacking blue skies. This shot was one of the first I took, but has turned out to be one of the most vibrant.

Title: The View From A Jam
Location: A1, North Yorkshire
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: After an enjoyable week in Tyneside, it was time for me to head home today. The journey went well, apart from one section on the A1 where we crawled along at 5mph for what seemed like ages. This was taken whilst stationary – honest!
One Year Ago: Day #142

Title: Down With The Dandelions
Location: Centenary Circle, Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: After the excesses of last night’s party, it was a bit of a struggle to get up and out to catch the bus up to Broomfield for the start of our monthly Chelmsford Flickrwalk. But the weather proved to be better than predicted and we ended up going over 5 miles for the first leg of the 22-mile circular walk, the Centenary Circle. We’ve been talking about doing it for ages, so it was good to get it started at last, walking the Broomfield to Springfield section. Next month we shall probably go for Springfield to Great Baddow.
