Morning mists in the Derwent Valley. A view south across Stoke Flat with White Edge on the left of the image.
On this trip to the UK we arranged our itinerary to visit South Stoke in Oxfordshire to visit St Andrew's church which has a special connection to my ancestry. We had a lovely lunch at the Perch and Pike.
Stoke-by-Nayland is a village in the Babergh district in the county of Suffolk close to the border with Essex.
A large Ferris Wheel adorns Darwin's Stokes Hill Wharf. Apparently it is there for the entire dry season.
This is an image of the River Arun by the village of South Stoke near Arundel, UK. The shot was taken at Dawn on Wednesday 20th January. This was during a brief very cold spell where even in the south of England the overnight temperature was down to minus 3. The village of South Stoke is very quiet about 2 miles north of Arundel at the end of a narrow backroad. A bridge crossed the river just behind me leading to the footpath on the east side of the river bank and used otherwise only by farm vehicles. Liberal use of chemical handwarmers were required not only for the hands but to wrap around the lens to stop it misting up.
The picture was taken on a Tripod with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10 mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Contrast Optimiser setting for a natural look. No more editing was needed apart from a crop and a little Cloning to remove a small lens flare on a blade of grass.

This is our local beach where we walk our dog. The first building is Pebbles Cafe/Bistro where we stop for a coffee and the white building is Stokes Bay Sailing Club. I hasten to add we weren't walking the dog on this day.
Another of the great little lock keepers cottages on the river Wey, this one's at Guildford.

This is 56113 storming through Stoke on Trent with the 0920 Stapleford to Pinnox Branch. On this day I had a really productive time photting heritage traction. This was the 2nd 56 to work through Stoke in 45 mins. On this day I also photted 2xROG 37s running LE from Crewe to Derby and following a relocation to Crewe a few miles up the road I also bagged 2 more 56s on the RHTT and 40013 on a test run from Crewe to Chester and back.
I had had less productive days in the 80s.
