I decided to rework a photo I posted a little over a year ago titled Liddington from Upham. Feel free to compare the two and leave a comment with your thoughts.
Category Archives: Rural I took this photo of Windsor from Legoland as we were leaving in the evening. I really don’t think this view has changed much over the last 200 years when the Round Tower was raised a further 30 ft to be more imposing. 
[...] trees marks the track of the Ridgeway Path. Although called a castle, it’s not a castle like Windsor Castle, made out of stone, it’s a series of earthworks on the top of a hill which meant any [...]  Somewhere near Pekan Teluk Bahang, I captured this image of a fisherman, working on his gear.  So I’ve not been able to place this on Google Earth but it think it was somewhere off Jalan Labi which heads inland from Lumut. It’s later in the afternoon and a storm is coming in from the south-east.  In the background is the Parish Church of Saint Wilfrid while in the foreground, the River Wharfe flows beneath a five arched bridge that carries the Dalesway  When I was younger I would fling my BMW 5-series (and younger still my Honda motorbike) down this hill and around the bend in the photo at over 60 mph, trusting to luck that there wouldn’t be a tractor around the blind corner. 
That is an awesome picture! 
Thanks Milla!
[...] yesterday’s photo, this was also taken in February 1989 and I thought I shot it on Fujichrome Velvia, hence the lush [...]  This is a shot of the R719 and the railroad that runs parallel to it about 18 miles south of Bothaville in the Free State, a couple of miles south of our camp at Schoonspruit/Skoonspruit.  This photo, looking to the west from the eastern end of the survey area shows the grid of lines we left across this area. When you look at the Google Earth satellite view you can’t see any tracks so no lasting damage, apparently. Also, no new mine shaft so it looks as though our client didn’t find what they were looking for.  Alfalfa usually has the highest feeding value of all the common hay crops and is most often used as feed for dairy cows because of its mix of high protein and highly digestible fiber. This alfalfa field cost our client more than the maize fields even though it was less than an eighth of the survey area where the corn fields were about three quarters of the survey area.

In this photo you can see the four vibrators shaking the ground and carving their way through the maize. In the foreground a spare fifth vibrator sits idle, ready to go to work if one of the other four breaks down. In the background are the Schoonspruit/Skoonspruit grain silos.

Thanks James. Flying in that chopper was a lot of fun! |
