My first ever Sunrise shoot, and for sure it didnt go to plan at all, having stayed up all night at the trundle fog very nearly ruined everything sadly no shafts of sunlight hitting the statue but theres always next time.
The trundle (St Roaches hill) An ancient iron age fort, is now a temporary home to something a little newer in Bronze.
Artemis a 30ft giant horses head cast in bronze Named by the creator/ sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green now stands tall overlooking the sussex downs, glorious goodwood, chichester and a large section of the south coast.

As you can see in the second picture the entire singleton,charlton and east dean valley was thick in fog giving a sureal image of this giant horses head appearing to float on the clouds.
this will definatley be the first of many trips as i cant fit in before the statue disappears for good…….

********************************************************************************************
The horse has now moved from the trundle and its location is now the private members area at the racecourse see here ………. Location

    Here is an image with a descriptionclick on it, if you cant see it all (inc description) then your screen is set below average resoloution (if you need help call me) shame about the lens flare in this picture

    I vividly remember standing on a raised bank by the river Lavant back in 1982 as a boy of 9 my mother standing next to me and the noise of this awesome amazing aircraft, i have waited 27 years to see this beauty in the sky above my head sadly my mum was not with me today but she was in my heart, and i will never forget the joy in her face jumping up and down in excitement when it flew over it gave me a shiver and a chill then as it did today, thank you to all at the vulcan to the sky trust that have made a cherished memory come to life again, long live the vulcan.

    Avro Vulcan - Revival 2009,waynes photos

    Shot from here (belated thanks to the land owner).

    Some information about the Avro Vulcan and what makes it so special designed in 1947, measuring 97ft or 29.59 meters long (thats 2 1/2 buses) with a wingspan of 99ft or 30.18 meters with a top speed of 627mph (just under mach 1) so successful was the technology involved in the design of these aircraft the engines were later scaled up to power Concorde.
    All in all there were 136 Vulcan bombers built comprising of 2 prototypes 45 mk 1 and 89 mk 2 although only 16 remain in existence in museums there are 4 nose sections that were kept however XH558 is the ONLY fully working vulcan at this present time, and finally if you thought your car was high maintenance or not good miles per gallon this baby burns about £1000 of fuel every 20 mins.!!!! not for nipping to the shops.

    I wonder if i will ever get to photgraph the Vulcan and Red arrows in the same picture another 27 years perhaps?

    Enjoy

    st Marys axe
    30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, the City of London. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London.
    This building is visible from most places in London, however the closer you get the harder is to photograph, this shot even on Jonathan’s 10-22mm Lens i still couldn’t get the hole thing in shooting on 10mm is about as wide as it goes but when close up has some distortion effects on the subject hence in this image “The Gerkin” looks more like and egg than a tall building.

    The Gerkin

    This brings an end to a weeks for of Urban exploring or “Ubrbanexing / urb ex” or what ever you want to call it and I hope you have enjoyed this weeks images as much as I have

    London Architecture Day 4

    Here is todays images from day 4 of my London Architecture trip with Jonathan .

    More Place water, London,waynes photos

    Above is the end shot of 1 of 4 very large rectangular granite looking blocks that are water features, water runs across the tops and own each side of them.
    Next is the main water feature that runs from one end of More Place up near the fountains right down to the other end nearly 300 yards away near the granite blocks.

    More Place water, London,waynes photos

    i would like to re-shoot this photo on a busy day with a clear view of tower bridge but with more people rushing about on the pavements.

    As i mentioned on day 1 of this blog section a lot of London’s attractions and famous landmarks are quite close. This picture is a good example of what you can see in a few hundred yards, in the far distance you can see Tower bridge, slightly closer is the rounded tip of the Greater London Council city hall, and then the large area known as More Place.

    More Place.

    Enjoy
