Processing Turf Fen Wind Pump with Lightning
The Turf Fen Wind Pump with lightning photograph was included with some other pictures in an Edmonton Camera Club competition last week. This was the digital image of the year competition so it was a tough […]
Abney Park Cemetery
Abney Park is one of the so called “Magnificent Seven” cemeteries built around London between 1832 and 1841. They were privately owned cemeteries built to reduce the pressure in parish churches in London. Abney Park was completed […]
St Dunstan in the East

Why the Penguins have flown from the Penguin Pool

Highgate Cemetery
I had a pleasant 3 or 4 hours last Sunday visiting the Eastern side of Highgate Cemetery. The West Cemetery is accessible but only as part of a guided tour, which rumour has it, is […]
