Lillipution Photos

We have recently been showing our U3A members how to make a photo look like a model. Here are a couple of examples of mine.

This is a video of photos taken on St Pancras Station.  These are from the base plinth of the very large statue of a couple kissing.

Some of my photos taken last autumn on the Goth Weekend. It was a fabulous day.

Wildflower Patch

I sowed the seed at the end of May and now they are nearly all in flower. They have certainly brightened up the patch where previously we had this huge horizontal fir tree that died in our severe winter. This tree was there when we came to Salisbury and so it was over 20 years old. The soil left behind was naturally very low in nutrients and so perfect for a wild-flower patch. And so it has proved so far.
What will happen next year is anyone's guess. Some are perennials.

Farleigh Castle and Westwood Manor and Great Chalfield Manor

Farleigh Hungerford Castle gatehouse.
We visited 3 ancient properties on Tuesday 3rd August.  Weather was occasionally sunny which was frustrating.
Here are some of the pictures taken that day.
Topiary at Westwood Manor in the shape of a house.
Westwood Manor Collage

Crypt under Farleigh Hungerford Church in the castle.  It shows the leaden faces on the graves.  This is very rare.
