Sherborne Abbey
On our recent visit to Dorset, we spent an afternoon in Sherborne. We had visited the Abbey some time ago in really dark and rainy weather. This time we were blessed with sunshine and blue skies, which made the yellow stone glow. I don’t really do much traditional record photography, but I did think this subject was worth giving an architectural treatment. The original Saxon Abbey of Sherborne was founded by Saint Aldhelm in AD 705 and it has developed into once of the most beautiful and grandest of Parish Churches. The statue is of St Aldhelm.

Something a little different
Here is bit of a compilation from yesterday’s urban exploration. Not all that safe in parts, especially if you walk around looking at the scenery and not where you are putting your feet! The teddy was sitting pretty – like somebody’s discarded friend!

The last three pictures, including the two panoramas, were processed with HDR from five bracketed exposures.

Return to Man
Seems a long time since I posted, but I guess that just means I’ve been too busy. Part of the “being busy” was a return trip to the Isle of Man, this time as the guest of Western IOM PS, but also to visit Southern PS and Isle of Man PS. All three clubs made us most welcome and our stay at the Glen Helen Inn was very comfortable. Mannanan had raised his cloak for the occasion and allowed the sun to shine on us for a good part of our 4 day trip and I was able to take a few pictures in our time off from making visits…
