Another pictureless day! This time down to the punishing training schedule I was on and the fact that I was totally knackered mentally physically and emotionally!
I'll compensate by posting 2 pictures tomorrow... I promise :)

Day 49 - Friday 18 June 2010
I did go out to take pictures today! I had a very pleasant evening walking along the beach at Formby Point and must have taken around 30 pictures... but embarrassingly, I didn't have a memory card in the alpha 200. I was rather surprised (and annoyed) that the camera lets you take pictures without a card and without warning you. The only indication is on the info screen where the images remaining number would be :( Must be more careful next time!
So to compensate I'll post another shot from yesterday's shoot :)

Day 48 - Thursday 17 June 2010
Reflection. We went on a navigation excercise in the hills and I took loads of photos. This is the reflection in a river I saw when crossing a bridge...

Day 47 - Wednesday 16 June 2010
Alt creek. Managed to escape from camp for an hour or so to the local 'beach' in Hightown where several yachts are moored. When the tide recedes they are left in the mud at crazy angles...

Day 46 - Tuesday 15 June 2010
More detail from the old vehicles on the training area. The vehicles were only a short walk from the accomodation so I visited this location a couple of times...

Lock/Unlock. There is a fair amount of old military kit dotted about here. Detail from some of that old tat...

Day 44 - Sunday 13 June 2010
Fir. This camp has a lot of these interesting pine like trees. They are certainly an evergreen variety but instead of cones they have clusters of catkin like growths on the end of every branch.

Day 43 - Saturday 12 June 2010
Treeline. Day 1 in the camp where I'll be staying for the next 2 weeks. The one thing you notice about army camps is that everything is arranged in neat rows. Even the trees lining the main road in camp are standing to attention.

The big gap!
Those of you following my blog will have noticed a large gap in postings! No... I haven't given up... I've just been working away from home for 2 weeks without an internet connection.
Strange that only a few short years ago access to the internet was something of a luxury... now it's pretty much a part of our everyday lives and we find it difficult to live without it!

Day 42 - Friday 11 June 2010
Iron Man. Away from home for 2 weeks in the North West. Stopped off in Crosby on the way up to see the Iron Man exhibit on the beach. Pretty impressive...

Day 41 - Thursday 10 June 2010
Neat. Pretty dull and lifeless day. Spotted this field on the drive home from a meeting. My original idea was to include a farm house and prominent trees at the far end of he field as a focal point the leading lines of the crop would lead too, but it just wasn't working so I tilted the camera down to concentrate on the lines of vegetation...

Day 40 - Wednesday 09 June 2010
Blue abstract. I've been looking through various bottles of fluid and trying to capture the distorted view of the world they offer. This is a plastic bottle of hand soap. Though there is no recognisable scene, I liked the abstract nature of this image...

Flower and rain. Another wet day, but a busy one. Once again the garden comes to the rescue for today's picture. Rain drops on a purple shrub, the name of which I have no idea...

Day 38 - Monday 07 June 2010
Parker. Graffiti scratched onto the walls of an old sandstone building. The building is the old Police station in Grantham which has remained empty and boarded up since the Police opened a new modern station a few years ago. Whilst I was taking this picture, a security guard challenged me... apparently I need permission to take photos of the old building! I didn't argue and left with my image of the day...

Day 37 - Sunday 06 June 2010
The Great Flood. The break in the weather promises a wealth of photo opportunities. As I drove to work this morning in a torrential downpour I was thinking about reflections in puddles. I wasn't dissapointed, as I arrived to find much of Nottingham station under an inch of water. One of the reflected windows and orb light fitting in this photo featured in my day 2 image...

Day 36 - Saturday 05 June 2010
Peek-a-boo. I rather liked the reflection in this window but my garden isn't a very picturesque subject so I had Evan peek through the blinds to add a much needed touch of interest...

Day 35 - Friday 04 June 2010
Bollards. My eye is getting re-tuned to the local environment again as I'm begining to see potential pictures in my everyday routine. This row of bollards is outside Matalan which is on my walking route to the railway station...

Clematis. Still struggling for inspiration today but fortunately there is a Clematis growing in the garden with huge blooms that came to my rescue...

Day 33 - Wednesday 02 June 2010
Sunset. Pretty difficult day on the picture front. Just couldn't get motivated after the picture rich environment of North Wales! Had to make a specific trip out for a picture when the sun was setting and found this field of Barley (I think!) on the Drift between Barrowby and Harlaxton...

Day 32 - Tuesday 01 June 2010
Fence. Busy day today, packing up the caravan in the drizzle followed by a 6 hour drive home. Still had time for my 365 picture though... this is the fence boundary of the campsite at Aberdaron...
