Land of Legends,  Wiltshire,  England

 

 

 

Arthur, Arthur  !  Where art thou ?

What price maybe upon your head, the world alone believes you dead !

Your legend gone, long lost in time, so blown about the limestone chine;

Still yet in minds that know no rhyme, Arthur, Arthur ! !

Is thy mind mine ?

Rule number two producing landscape photographs is ' be prepared to wait ’.

If you can’t wait don’t bother to mess with cameras and darkrooms. I waited

for this exposure. Fortunately my wife understands the need to wait when

producing, or attempting to produce, landscape images [ she is a watercolor artist

and this helps ! ] On this day she had her book with her and managed about

an hour of reading while I did the waiting for a small burst of sunshine

which eventually arrives and stroked the hill and lower field. It did this even though

it was raining quite hard. I got quite wet. I have manually introduced the clouds

into the sky. Otherwise the scene was one of a flat uninteresting dull sky.

Nahhh… don’t like those…. It’s the White Horse at Pewsey Downs, Wiltshire,

 England on a dull wet Saturday lunchtime when most of the locals have

the sense to stay in the local pub !
