My second day out after Covid-19 lockdown, carefully maintaining social distance rules.
We took a short run through the back roads to Royston. I spent a sometime taking a few shots of Great Chishill Windmill

A Foggy Day
We have had a long run of very poor weather, today I just had to get out with my camera. I had a tour round my local area.

Blists Hill
We made two
visits to the Victorian village this time. With the short days at this time of
the year along with the low southern sun the light was full of heavy contrast,
so black and white was the only way to go but it suits the subject perfectly.
This post
is predominantly about the fabric of the village. I have used a number of monochrome styles to try and capture the Victorian feeling.

Blists Hill Victorian People
We had a few days away last week and visited Blists Hill Victorian
Museum. This is a great place for the family, taking you back to a bygone age of
steam and heavy industry. Located a few miles away from the Iron Bridge, famous
for being the first bridge in the world made from cast iron. Unfortunately, the
bridge is undergoing major repairs at the time of our visit, so no photos.
This is the first of my posts from the museum and I have concentrated on the people of the village. I have tried to give them a Victorian feel.
