Fireworks and Music

Last saturday my family and I went to Portchester Castle for a "Last of the summer Proms" event. Here are some of the shots from the fireworks afterwords.

This weekend it was nice and sunny, so I decided to take my camera over to Hinton Ampner Gardens. Below are a few of the shots I took.

Idsworth Church

Idsworth church is a small church in Hampshire which was originally built in the 11th century. It stands alone on the top of a hill. It was the church serving Idworth Manor, but when the London to Portsmouth railway line was built the Lord of the manor moved Idsworth Manor brick by brick to another location, leaving the church alone in a vast area.

Cowdray ruins

As I work in Midhurst, I find myself quite often walking around the town during my lunch break. So that I keep my photography skills sharp, I decided last week to take my camera to work, and look for some good shots.

The Ruins, I thought would make for a very nice picture, and when I got closer, seeing that it had rained the night before, there was some standing water on the green. As I walked past the water I saw the reflection of the ruins and could not resist taking this picture.






After walking by the ruins I went back in to town to get something to eat, and, although I had walked that street many times, I had never really noticed the rather picturesque Town clock on one of the buildings.

In some instances, to see beauty, all you have to do is look up.

I'll keep you posted.
