For the benefit of new followers since 2015, I am reblogging these early photos taken with the Fuji X 30 camera. They show more of the area close to my house.
As it is Sunday, I decided to take the longer walk with Ollie, from Beetley Meadows, to Gingerbread Corner. I have described this walk many times before, so this time, I thought I would take my camera along, and illustrate it with some photos instead. Leaving the house on a warm and sunny afternoon, my plans were soon confounded, by a change in the weather. A freshening wind arrived, blowing in some dark clouds, and ruining what had been excellent light. I decided to take the photos anyway.
We left by the shortcut, at the side of the Fakenham Road bridge. This iron and stone structure has seen better days, and I felt it suited a B+W photograph.
Crossing the road into Mill Lane, we headed up the path. It is always dark along there, whatever the weather, as it is heavily shaded by trees.
Ollie hasn’t got used to…

Looks like very silent. I love the little houses with the unique British chimneys. Social Distancing can not really become a problem there. 😉 Michael

Those cottages date from before 1900. Some more modern houses are closer together.
Best wishes, Pete.

Many of the open spaces are actually privately owned, Lauren. But if you are alone with a dog, nobody minds that much if you walk on them.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks very much. I thought the iron bridge was better in B&W. The paint didn’t look good in colour. 🙂

I hadn’t seen these pictures before Pete and they are all really nice. I especially like the rusted farm equipment, it comes to life when you expand the picture.
