Well several weeks of snow and disruption is hopefully nearly over, since the onslaught of the bad weather transportation has been a little bit of a problem since I live in a remote area, on a lane that has never been graced with the presence of a gritter or a snow plough.
So as you can imagine it has been a fun time, most journeys have been on foot or I have been collected by people with 4 wheel drive vehicles or jumping in passing vehicles, as stopping on my road results in having a fun time with shovels and people pushing.
Here are a selection of images from the past week or so, snowy scenes and some long exposures.
Swan, Snow and Ice
Chilly Sheep
Orchard Sunset
Heading Off Into The Setting Sun
River Medway
Aylesford Village Reflection
Ragstone At Night
Archbishops Palace
So despite our unexpected white out, and the disruption of the last couple of weeks there has been plenty of subject matter to keep me entertained whilst out and about braving the elements.

Would like to wish the readers of my Blog “Happy New Year”
To see 2009 out I thought I would post a series of my long exposure shots that I have taken over the closing weeks of this year.
I hope 2010 is a great year for you all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Well today traffic was a nightmare and whilst heading out of London I managed to get snarled up in a huge traffic Jam due to the Blackwall Tunnel being shut southbound.
The traffic reports were stating that the A13 and all other routes out of London were congested and delays were going to be long. So instead of having nothing to look at but the car in front I decided to head to the river and sit out the long wait. Since I had the camera in the back of the car I knew I would not be that bored whilst waiting for the workman to repair the manhole in the southbound tunnel.
Here is a pano from the area I ended up at which is a nice quite out of the way place with a cafe.

So when traffic is against you do the best thing and waiting it out find a road you have never been down before and have a mini adventure in to the unknown.

Here is a nice serene view of one of the two entrances to Dover harbour, a complete contrast to the images I took less than two weeks ago when the port traffic was suspended due to the bad weather and stormy waters were battering the outer walls of the harbour.

Hasting beach is still used by a collection of local fishermen as a location to beach and launch there vessels from, it is quite a site to view them being launched when the tide is right, the crews scurry around getting everything ready for the launch, laying huge sleepers beneath the keels of the vessel and then using either a modified dumper or a bulldozer to ease the beached vessel into the sea.
Once the vessel is in the water and free of the shingle the crew all climb aboard and head off to do there days work.
The fishing fleet at this location has always been stored on the beach this way ever since I can remember and I have read many a book that show images of the vessels lining the shingle bank in front of the towering net shed.
