Winter Sunset


This was taken whilst walking down the 'high street' of Barnard Castle, the town where I grew up. I honestly can't remember seeing such a beautiful sunset there. Its not the night sky, so much as how totally clear the view was right up to the horizon. The photo only gives a minor glimpse of how impressive it was.

Anyway, my new camera is well and truly dead today so I had to use the 'old' one. I was surprised how much of a difference it actually made and to be honest I'm not overly happy with the end result. However, I still think the content of the picture is fabulous in itself.

New Years Day 2009


Robin - spotted on our annual new years day walk.

It took me a few goes to get one of the robin in sight, most of them involve the blurry image of some fluttering wings during take off! I'm not totally happy with the lighting, it really is too dark and doesn't show off the true colours of the day, but other than that I feel happy with my first photo of the year.
