The Chase, Newbury

To the east of Woolton Hill village in West Berkshire is an nature reserve known as ‘The Chase’ which is owned and managed by the National Trust. 2010 and 2011 saw the Rejuvenation project at The Chase which aimed to increase biodiversity and improve public access with the view to returning it back into a nature reserve and to remove parts of the woodlands for successful woodland management.

Taken on a (surprisingly bright!) September evening out on a dog walk and processed in Photomatix.

I've been trying to take and post some photos that are more unusual than those I normally capture. This shot is unedited from the in-camera image.

This was the inside of the fridge on New Year's Eve 2011. Needless to say the fridge was considerably more empty come 2012!

All feedback very welcome.

Binary Conversation, depicts two monumental heads turned towards one another. It was unveiled in 2012 in Newbury, Berkshire as part of the Willlow Close housing development and was produced by Joseph Hillier.

One of the heads is formed from hundreds of circular rings, the other from hundreds of round particles – creating the impression that they have been pixelated.

Stourhead Bridge and Flowers

The lake at Stourhead is artificially created. Following a path around the lake is meant to evoke a journey similar to that of Aeneas’s descent in to the underworld. In addition to Greek mythology, the layout is evocative of the “genius of the place,” a concept made famous by Alexander Pope. Buildings and monuments are erected in remembrance of family and local history. Henry Hoare was a collector of art- one of his pieces was Nicolas Poussin’s Aeneas at Delos, which is thought to have inspired the pictorial design of the gardens

Had a wonderful day at Stourhead, I need to head back for more photos but this was one of my favourites from a fantastic day. Processed from three exposures.

Stourhead is a 1,072-hectare (2,650-acre) estate at the source of the River Stour near Mere, Wiltshire, England. The estate includes a Palladian mansion, the village of Stourton, gardens, farmland, and woodland. Stourhead has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1946.

A beach hut (also known as a beach cabin or bathing box) is a small, usually wooden and often brightly coloured, box above the high tide mark on popular bathing beaches. They are generally used as a shelter from the sun or wind, changing into and out of swimming costumes and for the safe storing of some personal belongings.
