Around Preston again

I saw the fields and the trees and clouds, and stopped the car. They just looked "right" (though it's lacking in a little composition). This was taken near an M.O.D site near Preston.




Nearby at Inskip, a small country village, I saw this church and stopped off to find a decent viewpoint. A bird flew into the shot as I lined this up, but notice the 'plane disappearing behind the steeple... I was gonna photoshop this out, but chose instead to leave it in.




On the Lancaster to Preston Canal at Ingol, just around the corner from me, the sun has fallen low in the sky, the moon is up, and a statue - one of 4 by Thompson Dagnall (goodness knows where the other three are) carved from a single tree trunk, entitled "Gauging The Ripple" stares wistfully at the water...





Autumn is closing down it's rich colours, and the browns of the season are all around. Here, you can see the richness as leaves from a sycamore tree wait to be blown away by the sea-breeze of the Ribble Estuary as the night closes her grip on the day.



It's been a pleasant couple of hours, and I'm pleased with the results. Photography is a great pastime... There will be more to come, you can be sure... Preston has lots of variety, it's just finding the best time to record it for the eyes of the world.
