Do You Come Here Often? Me and Fie, trekking through the overgrown, untended countryside to get to Mason Woods in Preston, Lancashire. Dodging stinging nettles near your head was an interesting experience…

Deep In The Woods. This is deep inside Mason Wood in Preston, Lancashire. It had been threatening rain all day, but thankfully the thick foliage sheltered me and Fie (and my camera) from the rain. We’ve already had enough rain in June, dammit!
Just past this bridge and up the hill, we met a cheerful Jack Russell. That dog looked like it was having the time of its life.

Get Away From All This. The first shot I took from Saturday’s stroll with Fie. This is the entrance to a flood reserve, literally just off the busy Garstang Road in Preston, Lancashire. I love that you can walk off a main road, scale down a path and are greeted with this.
You can check it on the map here.
We still had a quite trek to go before getting to Mason Wood but I’m glad we took our time to detour. =]

Life Stream. After the leaving the Stonyhurst College grounds on the Tolkien Trail, we eventually entered our first forest, representing halfway through the hike. This is the stream you cross upon first entering Over Hacking Wood.
Whilst I was busy setting up a shot of the bridge, the rest of the guys played around this lovely bubbling stream here. After passing through the ancient college grounds and hiking through fields, suddenly entering a forest like this made the experience more magical.
As is the case with my forest shots these days, this is a single exposure, the -1EV one, but I’ve blended some HDR here and there; mainly for textures in the ground and rocks in the stream.

Old Toys. It’s amazing how much the concept of a “toy” changes. These days, we have iPads, Android phones, mp3 players, Xboxes, TVs and so much more. But back then, in older times, this was a toy.
How quickly the world changes.

Antique Trinkets. There were many… interesting objects to buy when me and Bamber strolled around GB Antiques in Lancaster. Anything from carved elephant heads, old cameras, vinyl, racist dolls and crockery. I ended up buying nothing but taking loads of photos of some of the prettier/stranger stuff, whilst Bamber bought Zombies of War and a sugar pot.
Such is life.
