2/5 Ely Cathedral 1

#ElyCathedral helpfully provide a mirror to help view the ceiling, but it works well for snaps too. Norman #romanesque arches and a Victorian painted ceiling.

1/5 Ely Cathedral 1

Last week I had a short break in E Anglia starting with a visit to the stunning #ElyCathedral - best known for the octagonal lantern built in the 14th century after the original roof fell down.

Looking for a snap with a #new theme I came up with this new #fern from #Tasmania in 2023 - probably a lot of #Fibonacci going on here.

Silver Birch catkins in Holland Park. Nothing says spring like catkins.

I particularly like the beginning of spring when you get a mix of new growth and the bare structures left from winter.

2/5 It's #spring

Shot in Hyde Park two weeks ago, AI suggests this is Chinese Winter Hazel. It also told me "It's a beautifully sharp shot — the shallow depth of field really isolates those flower racemes nicely against the out-of-focus clusters behind."

Who am I to argue?

(It's probably wrong about both)

Here's a lucky shot of swans in flight in London's Hyde Park. Had no time to set up the camera or even focus - luckily it was already at 100mm and I'd just shot a distant scene.

Landscape shot at Sutton Hoo. The history and archaeology are fascinating , of course, but it's also got beautiful grounds that are big enough for a proper walk.

1/5 Thamesmead

This week a set from a walk through Thamesmead - a 1960s social housing development built on marshes south of the Thames on the east of London. This is how I arrived - a footbridge over the railway walking from Abbey Wood.

You can't leave out Maggi Hambling's Scallop on Aldeburgh Beach - a tribute to fellow local Benjamin Britten with a quotation in cut-out lettering from his opera, Peter Grimes: "I hear those voices that will not be drowned"
