St Mary, Mundon, Essex
This church was the real goal of my journey. Knowing how horrible Latchingdon was I was a bit uncertain about the setting of the next, but I needn't have worried. Two miles or so took me halfway to Maldon, and then a tiny lane ran off at a crossroads warning me it was a dead end and very narrow.
After half a mile a lane ran off to the hall, high hedged and just about wide enough for two cars to pass, as long as they breathed in. The lane ran for a mile, and then I was directed for about a quarter of a mile down a dirt track to my goal.
Open. The west end is so familiar to me from photographs there was a little shock of recognition. The half timbered belfry curves around the little red brick building. The tiny churchyard is surrounded by woodland. It was silent apart from the birdsong.
Walking around, I found it to be a long, little church, if that makes sense. Utterly rustic, entirely vernacular. You step into darkness - obviously, there is no electricity - and the western quarter of the building is a simple crooked wooden structure, then you step through a low arch into a Norman church with 18th Century furnishings. Sounds idyllic, doesn't it. And it is.
It was shattered by a stray V1 in 1944, patched up in the late 1940s and then abandoned by the parish. By the 1960s it was roofless and overgrown. In 1970, the Diocese obtained a demolition order to get rid of it.
And then in 1973 the Friends of Friendless Churches obtained the lease. There was a restoration lasting three years at the hands of Laurence King, whose copy of Cox's 'English Church Furnishings' I had found in a Felixstowe bookshop earlier in the week. The Courtauld Institute rescued and stabilised the wall paintings. The 18th Century furnishings were repaired and restored. The east wall had to be rebuilt, and the wooden west end is apparently entirely unconnected to the rest of the church, because they move at different rates.
This is Essex's equivalent of Suffolk's Badley, and if it doesn't have the brasses that Badley has, the atmospheres are of a piece. The church is left open all the time. This is one of the loveliest churches I have visited in England.
I wandered around the graveyard and saw things that will be invisible in a couple of months - cast iron markers from the Maldon foundry, rare wooden gravemarkers, idiosyncratic headstones from local masons. Oh, and a human thigh bone!
I stayed here nearly an hour in all, but then it was time to start heading homewards.

One thing about it getting dark earlier is that I can take sunset shots in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery before it closes for the day.

Had a nice sail over from Moorea initially, but slowly wind died down so I ended up motoring overnight, knowing I could top up in Bora Bora. At daybreak, I was passing Raiatea, with Bora Bora just visible in the distance. The wind came up as I reached the SW end of Bora Bora, so I was able to have a nice peaceful breakfast under sail, watching the surf crashing spectacularly onto the reef as I passed towards the well-marked reef passage into the lagoon.
I went over to the Bora Bora Y.C. just to see what the anchorage was like and then headed down to Bloody Mary's and picked up a buoy there. I was kindly offered help picking up the buoy by David & Mary ('Kismet') on a nearby boat who turned out to be fellow-members of the O.C.C. with several mutual friends. We all went for a relaxed lunch at a very pleasant hotel beach restaurant nearby (Bloody Mary's, surprisingly, being closed on Sunday). On the way, we passed a black pearl 'Farm' - the dark
'cultivated' pearls were fascinating colours and the lovely pearly shell halves were hanging everywhere - I couldn't resist the offer of being given some... (shells, not pearls!)
Back at the boats, we found S. African friends of David & Mary had turned up - so I ended up with yet another highly sociable evening .... and late to bed. (I think I need to get to sea again to get some rest...!!)
Although there are clearly lots of hotels and tourist development here, it's all fairly low-level and doesn't seem to me to detract from the scenery too much - not from the water, at least.
Today I'm making use of my last chance to get on Internet for a time and then I'll be going to refuel and clear out from French Polynesia before heading towards Niue - a 9-10 day passage with the possibility of a stop midway in the lee of an island if I fancy it & if it's not overnight when I get close - I'll see - it's often simpler to keep on going, once you're in 'passage mode'! The forecast is for light winds for several days so the passage may take longer anyway - another good reason not to
stop.
I'd better send this now, so I can get to the 'gendarmerie' well before midday in case they close then.
Not knowing the distance or the course, groups of cadets embarked on a mystery ruck march Oct. 20 during the daylong selection process. Roughly 300 cadets participated in hopes of securing a slot in one of several competitive Military Individual Advanced Development programs next summer, to include the Sapper Leader Course, Pathfinder, the Army Reconnaissance Course and the Combat Diver Qualification Course.

Form and textures sculpted by the wind and rain. Light and shadow could be joy and pain. From this west coast sunset over land and sea, Every single thing is connected. All of the beauty, and all of the unsightly. One love, one life, and the greatest realisation. Embedded deep and gifted by our forefathers is the primeval instinct of knowing this connection. Hand in hand, honouring this gift we can leave this world in one piece for our sons and daughters.

davidelectric.us/ - A homeowner will need the services of skilled and highly experienced electricians throughout their lifetime, and often several times in a single year. Electricity can be dangerous, and only a skilled electrician should ever mess with it. It seems as though knowing when to call the electrician would be something easy to figure out, or automatic knowledge, but it is always good to know it for certain.

I've noticed before how the skins of onions are interesting to photograph, because of their colour and texture. (OK, maybe it's just me!).
If Mungaman sees this (or even if he doesn't), they're Dave's onions!
Strobist info: Nikon SB910 flash in shoot-though umbrella at left and at same height as subject. Nikon SB600 flash with Rogue honeycomb spot modifier above left and slightly behind, just to give a "hair light" to the topmost onion(s). Using TTL flash for both, with 1.5 stops negative flash compensation for umbrella light. (The spot is so constrained it was just a case of trial and error to decide compensation for that). Both flashes triggered by Pocket Wizard Flex TT5s with a Flex mini TT1 and AC3 zone controller on camera.

Knowing the nice weather would be coming to an end, I took the kids to Oak Openings one Friday after picking them up at the baby sitters. I had intended to get some shots of them for Christmas cards, but by the time I got them to stop playing on the playground equipment the light had gone flat. I did manage to take this one, though.
Thanks for looking.
