Another fine sunny day! There would be plenty of photo opportunities around the canal basin at Stourport, wouldn’t there….? Yes, there would – if it wasn’t for all the building work going on. Looks like a new waterside housing development – the waterside in question being a re-excavated former canal basin. Away from the building site, there were some nice reflections in the water – where the ice had melted, that is…

The road to the iron works
A trip to Blists Hill, while the light was still good… With a wet day forecast for Sunday, it was an opportunity for a breath of fresh air and a few photos

Vyrnwy stream
Yes, the light had gone – there are some subjects where a slow shutter speed is useful

A short Sunday afternoon spell in the hide at Lake Vyrnwy – it was cold, and the light had gone, so we we didn’t stay long…

The old station
A stroll up Coalbrookdale on a reasonably pleasant afternoon – first photos of the new year. First stop – the former railway station.
That storm… Tues 19 June
Yes, it did get rather dark – in fact, at 8.30pm, a couple of days before midsummer, it was like night. The camera was struggling – 1/20 @ f:8, ISO1600… (the photos are “as taken” – no tweaking)
By Wednesday morning, the damage was done – Hampton Loade, just a few miles down the Severn Valley, was cut off, its only road washed out, and the SVR’s tracks suspended in space above washed-out embankments. To quote the SVR website, “from Bridgnorth Outer Home Signal to Northwood Halt … sections of the line have been subjected to landslips, with several sections of track left suspended in air, cuttings filled with debris and at Highley, a major landslip, with the Up Starter Signal washed away, down the embankment.” The SVR has launched an appeal for funds and practical help.
