Riverside Park In Flood And Fog

Apparently, I now only take photos in the fog.  

The riverside park in St Neots is a flood plain and spends, at least, a few days underwater in an average year.  But the recent floods have been the worst I can remember since the Easter of '98.  Even so, I have photographed the park in flood before.  I have also photographed the park in fog.  But never before both at once.  The combination turned a very familiar place into something ethereal.

 

A walk along the Regents Canal

These images are from a couple of weeks ago.  I took a walk along the Regent's canal, starting at King's Cross, passing through Camden before finishing at Regent's Park.  I had intended to head all the way to Little Venice, but time got the better of me (too long a lunch stop in Camden). 

 

 

St Neots - After The Thaw

The rain came on Saturday night and washed the last of the snow away.  By Sunday the Great Ouse had spilled out over the riverside park in St Neots.  Since it was a sunny day, I headed down to try and get some reflection shots of the flooded trees against the water.  Sadly, it was quite a windy day and the ripples on water took away all but a few of the reflections. 

Ingleton Waterfalls

Last weekend I visited my friend Vic for another couple of days of hillwalking, photography and beers.  The weather forecast on the Friday wasn't too promising.  The best of the weather was to be had in the east and not too high.  So we opted to head for the Yorkshire Dales and do a gentle walk around some waterfalls at Ingleton.
