the highly impressive ferry that connects Shepperton with Weybridge, where the Thames path ends on one shore and continues on the other side of the river. You have to ring a bell for the ferryman :))
2 minute exposure with Breakthrough X4 10 stop. See metadata for more details, processed in Lightroom, no multiple exposure stacking, just the single frame. I did do some with and without tests, there was absolutely no colour shift at all, anywhere in the image. Fabulous quality, very happy with this filter.
Reference to mass media coverage of armed conflicts along the lines of H. G. Wells' novel "The War of Worlds". The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears and prejudices. At the time of publication, it was classified as a scientific romance, like Wells's earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never been out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert Goddard, who (inspired by the book) invented both the liquid fuelled rocket and multistage rocket, which resulted in the Apollo 11 moon landing 71 years later.

Some advice for anyone intending to do this shot, it is preferable to access this footbridge by the footpath around the course and not by accidentally walking up the fairway as it annoys the golfers :D

Ring Necked Parakeet...
No one knows when the first wild ring-necked parakeet arrived in Britain. There are reports of escaped parakeets in Britain as early as 1855, and wild ones living, but not breeding, in Epping, Essex, in the Thirties.
But experts think the first breeding pairs were probably cagebirds that escaped some time in the Sixties.
Wilder theories claim Jimi Hendrix, when he was high on dope, released a pair called Adam and Eve in Carnaby Street in Soho half a century ago, or that a parakeet escaped in 1951 from the set of the Humphrey Bogart film, The African Queen, when it was being filmed at Shepperton Studios west of London. A further theory is that a piece of undercarriage fell from a aeroplane at some point, which demolished an aviary and let out its caged inhabitants.
Or there’s the story that a furious housewife in London set free her husband’s squawking flock. Some even say the first colony broke free from an aviary in the great storm of 1987.
But whenever and however the first wild British parakeet got here, what is not in doubt is how successfully its descendants have bred.
When they nest, they take over holes in old trees — often holes previously used by green woodpeckers and Little Owls, and there is a fear that they are inhabiting holes before native species have a chance to get to them.

A bit more long exposure along the River Thames. This particular area between Walton and Shepperton is lovely, very secluded too!

So nicht mehr umsetzbar ist dieses Bild von 707 023 und 030 der South Western Railway, denn heute Abend werden die beiden letzten Triebzüge dieser Baureihe an Southeastern abgegeben. Dies geschieht in Vorbereitung auf den Einsatz der Class 701, welche nach jahrelanger Verzögerung wohl ab Dezember in den Fahrgastbetrieb gehen sollen. Am 21. Juni waren die beiden noch ganz normal in den bunten ex-Stagecoach/South West Trains-Farben als 2H18 von Shepperton nach London Waterloo in Wimbledon unterwegs.
