CAMERA CAPERS

Last November, I joined members of the Cranleigh Camera Club on their visit to Abinger Roughs.  This was somewhere I had never been to, or even heard of, yet is only about  4 miles from where I live.  Abinger Roughs is close to Abinger Hammer, a village we have often driven through.  The Roughs is a beautiful area of mixed woods and  takes its name from an area of poor sandy soil where medieval fields met rough pasture.   The area is now looked after by the National Trust. The day we visited was incredibly foggy, yet I am surprisingly pleased with some of my photographs. We wondered where the photographer was - he wasn't one of ours. He popped up a minute after I took this shot - he had been getting another lens from his bag.

During my sister's last week here before she returned home (via Hong Kong), we had two days in London.   I asked her if there was anywhere in particular she wanted to see and she suggested we go to the River Thames.   We hopped on the underground train to Embankment and crossed the road to look at the river.  There we saw boat trips available so we decided there and then we would take a trip to Tower Bridge.  These are some of the pictures I took - before the battery died in my camera. St Katherine Docks First stop was here for our morning coffee - our favourite coffee house. Pauline is checking her camera settings The Queen's Barge - much smaller than I imagined.  China Town Piccadilly Theatre - Pauline treated me to this great show - Thank You Pauline ...
