John’s Wood 2 on Flickr.
I had originally planned to upload this straight away after the last but one thing got in the way of another which got in the way of another, so a few weeks - actually its probably a month since the snow was here the second part of an afternoon shot playing in the snow. As I said before the landscape is so transformed into snow - I’ve driven by this a few times since and I still wouldn’t give it a second look, but I do smile as I drive by knowing what it looked like and how peaceful everything was just for one afternoon.

A few weeks ago we had snow in Suffolk, not only did we have snow but it occurred over a weekend and it settled, this is such a rare occurrence I just had to drop everything and get out, but where? I had no idea - I really wish I’d rec’yed earlier in the year. So off to the woods I went, luckily everything changes int he snow and on the way I noticed John’s Wood - I’ve been by this hundreds of times and never given it a second thought, but it just took on a different dimension, I loved the way it just spilled over the hill into the background. So no more than 3 miles from home I spent the afternoon shooting this little wood, blizzards and all. Like my previous shot I was there alone just me the elements and the occasional hare. Its days like this when I love photography - regardless of the outcome.

My latest shot of summer in Suffolk. We get so many summer storms, in the past few years I’ve hunkered down in doors to avoid them, but finally this year I’ve embraced them and gone out whenever they appear. This is in most part being completely inspired by the wonderful work of Mitch Dobrowner.
