Yesterday stayed Sunny all day with a high of 13C in the shade. Not bad for a February day here. Forecast is for the weather to return to being overcast, wet and windy so it was a case of making the most of a good day. Taking the path behind the church I wanted to see if any horses were out in the paddock. Two of Stan's horses were outside soaking up the warmth:
Down the track opposite the church Penny took her time to investigate every scent and seemed to be contemplating the risks of getting any closer to the water filled ditch:
Lovely picturesque views across the local flat farmland to the Lincolnshire Wolds:
The above photo was taken with the Nikon at wide angle. On the horizon, about a third the way from the left, about 5Km away, is the spire of Louth's St. James Church towering above the town which is in a valley. Here it is as seen using the full zoom on the Nikon:
All the above were processed using various filters in SimplyHDR.
so neat that you have such rural areas within your local walk. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully rural round here TWG. It would take a major upheaval in life to make me move back to living in a town! Funny, but when I visit the town where I lived over 40 yrs ago I can smell it - probably the pollution from vehicles.
Deleteback to your previous post about your new filter for photographing the sun - check out this website about a huge sunspot larger than Jupiter!

Is that the one in your photo?
Yes Wilma, that is the same one, on the right hand side of my photo. A report I read said that there were two Sunspots moving closer together which promised a lot of activity. By the time they became active they had disappeared from sight as the Sun rotated.
