The public footpath which runs from Stedham to Iping is so overgrown with nettles, bracken and brambles as to be completely impassable. To continue the walk you must trespass through this wheat field.
Many of the public footpaths around here are now so impenetrable that I wonder... what is the point of them (?). You can't use them unless you're equipped with a machete and full body armour!
And if you do choose to go for a pleasant ramble in this part of West Sussex... whatever you do... DON'T WEAR SHORTS!

The Bargeman's Rest is one of Newport's few Island family run freehouses. It sits alongside the quay in Newport harbour on the river Medina.
Newport was once a busy trading port with numerous warehouses, loading cranes, ships and barges. One of the last remaining warehouses has been extensively renovated and sits alongside the Bargeman's Rest and is home to the Quay Arts Centre.
Newport is the Isle of Wight's county town and is truly at the heart of the Island. The Bargeman's Rest is just a short walk down Quay Street or Holyrood Street from Newport High Street, so is perfectly placed for a hearty meal or a quiet drink on the water's edge.
The River Medina, in the foreground, is the main river of the Isle of Wight, rising at St Catherine's Down in the south of the Island and flowing through the capital Newport, towards the Solent at Cowes. The river is a navigable tidal estuary from Newport northwards where it takes the form of a ria (a drowned valley). The Medina is 17 km long with a catchment area of 17 km2. The river flows northwards collecting the Merston Stream at Blackwater before intersecting the ridge at Shide. The Lukely Brook is a tributary to the main river rising in Bowcombe Valley and joining the river at the head of the estuary in Newport.
Its current state has occurred because the Medina used to be a tributary of the river Solent and have a much larger catchment area, as the Solent valley flooded and the island eroded the river received less water flow and more sediment, causing it to become more tidal.
The river is bridged at Newport just to the left of this pivture. Cowes is connected to East Cowes by a chain ferry known as the Cowes Floating Bridge.
The name Medina came from the Old English Meðune meaning "the middle one", and the current pronunciation was first recorded as 'Medine' in 1196.
The river is used by yachtsmen as a very safe harbour. Along the banks of the Medina there are many old warehouses and wharves where in the past flying boats, hovercraft and steam ships were built and developed. The Classic Boat Museum displays much of the river's history alongside the history of yachting. The Island Harbour Marina, an old tidal mill, is also located on the river, about 1 mile from Newport.
As well as the chain ferry, the River Medina has several small ferries which cater mainly for sailors.
Newport is a civil parish and a county town of the Isle of Wight, an island off the south coast of England. Newport has a population of 23,957 according to the 2001 census. The town is situated slightly to the north of the centre of the Island, at the head of this navigable section of the River Medina, which flows northward to the Solent, and on which the town has this quay.
Newport Quay has been re-developed, with art galleries such as the Quay Arts Centre, and new flats converted from old warehouses.
"Isola", the name of the boat, is an Italian word for Island.

As usual, I find it almost impossible to choose only one to upload, so here's a few. You may have an opinion on which is the more interesting and your comments will be gratefully received.
I'm gonna resist disclosing how they were made for a while, except that I shot them with my fabulous Lomo Diana+.

This is one of the two lines of Pylons that leaves Dungeness B Nuclear Power Station, this one once crossing Lydd turns in a northerly direction, while the other heads off in a more westerly direction.
Plus one of the best named farms on the marsh.

I’m not really satisfied with the result. Maybe, it’s time to get good filters to capture these kinda moments.

A storm is any disturbed state of an astronomical body's atmosphere, especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation, such as ice (ice storm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere (as in a dust storm, snowstorm, hailstorm, etc).
Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops, with a system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds, such as the cumulonimbus. Small, localized areas of low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds.

We are experiencing a really lovely Indian Summer in the best city in the world at the moment, and I am ecstatically happy about being able to finally spend some sunny days in the parks and by the water, if it wasn't for one thing that's bothering me: All the machines in my house seem to rebel at the moment, the battery of my little Netbook died last week, so I'm running it with the powercable connected at all times, but it often refuses to hook up to my Wifi network despite a strong, beautiful signal, my Desktop PC randomly won't start up anymore, and if it does, freezes at the most inconvenient moments and requires several reboots before it'll resume operation, my HTC Desire is doing strange things and will often not go online, even though it has a perfect connection, my TV is behaving like a child that has just entered the early stages of puberty, and my external Hard-drives do whatever they like. Yesterday when I came home from the park, my PC did not find its Network-card anymore and stubbornly refuses to go online, so I'm considering to go and buy a new one today, to have at least one problem sorted out. Stoopid technology, you're supposed to be my slave, not my master, lol :D
Have a wicked weekend :)
VIew from Wierderond in the abandoned village of Weiwerd, The Netherlands
Not so very long ago the village of Weiwerd was a thriving and picturesque community of over 300 people, with many shops and a railway station. It was forced out of existence by the arrival of new industry on the De Oosterhoek, to the East of Delfzijl, much of it the manufacture of industrial chemicals.
The story of its demise is a sad one. It is well described in Wikipedia: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiwerd_(dorp)
This part of Groningen has also seen the construction of hundreds of wind turbines and several huge solar farms.
This is a photo for this weeks photo assignment, themed Dusk till Dawn.
I realised yesterday evening that I had yet to take a photo for this week's photo assignment, so at about 10:30pm I ran outside into the rain and jumped into my car as this would be my last opportunity to capture a suitable photo. I drove around for about twenty minutes with no real inspiration but just hoping something would catch my eye. Eventually I came across this petrol station hidden away in the middle of a an industrial park. I think that it has something to do with Sunseeker yachts as it is not open to the public and there was security guard in a hut nearby.
I particularly liked the slightly retro look and the fact that it had been raining so there was sections of reflection within the puddles. It is the first time I have ever seen this subject having lived in this area for over 30 years, it just goes to show that a camera can help you to see so much more. :)
With time quickly running out I decided to try and capture a shot. I took a few shots but initially wasn't very happy with them. I wanted to move back further but there was a wall behind me and a spotlight beaming down exactly where I wanted the camera to be so it would completely ruin the shot. In the end I decided to take three shots at different exposures with the intention of creating a monochromatic HDR shot, which is what I have ended up with. I used Photoshop to create the HDR and then I applied a slight vignette in Lightroom to make the edges slightly darker and give the image a more desolate feeling.
In the larger view you can just about make out the trees and the sky in the background, but in the smaller shot it all looks black.
EDIT:
I was pleased to find that this photo features in Explore for June 14th, thank you to everybody for your feedback! :)
