    SIJ - Day 25 My favourite "barperson"

    This is Mo pulling a pint of Otter Bitter. As some of you will know I make a habit of going to The Queens Arms at Slapton on a Friday for fish and chips and a pint of cider. Well I know today's not Friday and I promise I didn't have any fish (I've got home made fish chowder this evening). It was...

    SIJ - DAY24

    Cooling off by the bay It's been very warm this week and people usually cool off by the beach in the evening.
  3. SIJ - Day 24   Derelict Barn (1st floor)

    SIJ - Day 24 Derelict Barn (1st floor)

    Today there are times when curtains of rain are sweeping across the fields, so a sheltered shot was called for. This is the 1st floor of the derelict barn featured on day 16. This shot was obtained through a missing plank in the door at the end of the barn, the camera was inside on the rising...

    SIJ - DAY23

    Williamstown Timeball Lighthouse I'm feeling a tad bit better today so I went for a drive nearby and took a photo of this timeball tower which also served as a lighthouse in the late 1900's

    SIJ - Day 23 Delivering winter fuel

    Another neighbour has her fuel delivered. You guys are going to think my village is a hot bed of "street" photography. Let me see, the dustbin men are here tomorrow, then maybe John Hannaford the butcher will be here on Wednesday, otherwise I'll have to wait until he is here on...

    SIJ - Day 22 Gathering winter fuel

    Serendipity 4 days running! With about 30 houses in my village, and not all of those occupied full time, it's unusual to chance upon something happening in the "street". I was off down the estuary on what was proving a difficult day when, just 2 minutes from my cottage I came across a...

    SIJ - DAY22

    Reflecting at the end of the day I'm feeling quite ill today and this was the only image I was able to take.

    SIJ - DAY21

    Captus In Perpetuas Aeternitates I took inspiration with the images of statues in a cemetery uploaded by Dave recently, so I decided to try my hand at it. I actually like it and may take more photos from the same place for my PAD shoots in the coming days (well nights in my case)

    SIJ - Day 21 Curious Cow

    A sunrise departure (if the sun was visible) from my cottage, up the hill with low cloud, drizzle and wind, over Great Luscombe and along the lane to Bowden Farm. Just after my arrival the cows were turned out into the yard to feed on silage following morning milking. This one seemed more...

    Low tide

    Low tide in Kingsbridge which is at the very head of the Salcombe estuary, which isn't truly an estuary since it doesn't have a major river discharging into it, technically it's a ria.

    This is Western Backway, one of two back lanes that parallel the main street in Kingsbridge. The water course is the old mill leat.

    SIJ - Day 20 More produce for the outside display

    A bus ride followed by a short stroll around my local market town of Kingsbridge this morning, then the bus back out to Slapton for my usual Friday pub lunch. This is Alan's Apple, a traditional greengrocers on the hill in Fore Street, although that's not Alan adding to the display, it turns...

    SIJ - Day 19 The walk back from the lighthouse

    This just wasn't planned, all sorts of little disasters today, so I'm having to fall back on this completely atypical shot for me. I wasn't the only one who decided a stroll at Start Point was in order as the rain cleared. Strangely enough it turns out the lady lives two villages away from me...

    SIJ - Day 18 Into the mist

    It's been a grey, overcast day with drizzle, mist and low cloud. As you ascend the hill behind my cottage you enter an almost monochrome world. Here's my attempt to portray that feeling.

    SIJ - Day 17 Fiery Tree

    With a grey, overcast day forecast, I had something else in mind, then with my first cup of tea barely drunk I opened the kitchen blinds and that caused a mad dash to exploit the sunrise. I've never gone up the hill to the old carriage road so fast, a cylinder of oxygen would have been useful...

    SIJ - Day 16 Derelict Byre

    Well it's mid afternoon, the cloud has all evaporated and I'm lacking inspiration today so I'm going with one of my safeties from this morning. I walked down the estuary as the sun was rising, managed to pass that line of trees I posted on day 14 and made it to the water, but something was...

    SIJ - DAY16

    Wandering with shadows I was wandering around looking for something to shoot, it's 'one of those days' where you just can't get any inspiration at all, the streets are empty, most people are asleep and it's hard looking for subjects in the dark. I just decided to take a photo of the road I...
  37. SIJ - DAY15

    SIJ - DAY15

    Just another piece of the woodwork It's quite refreshing taking a photo during the day after shooting so much in the evening. This is a random shot of someone's fence, I thought it was a bit bland but I thought I might as well go with it since I'll be back shooting at night time during the week.
  38. SIJ - Day 15  Rough seas test the sea defences at Torcross

    SIJ - Day 15 Rough seas test the sea defences at Torcross

    This is Torcross at the southern end of Slapton Sands. The shingle ridge and the village are vulnerable to a combination of high spring tides and strong or gale force east or south east winds. The defences were built after a severe storm in 1979 damaged many of the houses you can see, smashing...

    Gem Pier by night I've decided to recycle an idea I had in the past, it's also the last image I'll take from this area before I move on to other places for my PAD shoots. @Mark - I shoot alone in the evenings, but thats OK, people tend to leave you alone when your standing alone quietly in...
  40. SIJ - Day 14   First Light

    SIJ - Day 14 First Light

    Just a short walk across one field (half way to the estuary) to catch the pre dawn. The trees are a line of Small-leaved Limes (the Linden tree), prehistorical pollen records suggest this had been the commonest tree in the UK, now rather uncommon and a sign of an ancient woodland. Most were...

    Williamstown Marina by night What caught me eye was the boat masts against the sky, it kinda reminded me of a medieval armies carrying spears or some sort boat graveyard at night.

    SIJ - Day 13 Sunrise

    OK, so it's only just 09:00 hours and here I am posting my photo for the day. I went out to my Landrover earlier to get my wellies for a morning walk and suddenly saw my photo for the day forming as the sun rose. It meant waiting a few minutes on what has been our coldest dawn this winter, and I...
  43. SIJ - Day 12  Mooring Lines

    SIJ - Day 12 Mooring Lines

    More grey, featureless skies today, so back to the minimalist approach and seek out something more graphic in nature. Nothing much else to say really, a case of letting the photograph speak for itself.
  44. SIJ - DAY12

    SIJ - DAY12

    Local wildlife It was really challenging taking photos of the native possums in very low light. It was hard to nail critical focus as they're very fast, devilishly agile, and they dont react or move in a predictable way the little bas...cute critters. I literally took almost a hundred shots...

    SIJ - Day 11 Tranquil dawn at Newbridge Quay, Kingsbridge Estuary

    I had thought about photographing at this spot later in the morning with a different viewpoint trying to catch the ebbing spring tide flowing under Newbridge. However having had my breakfast and one cup of tea the sky looked just too good to resist and since this site is hardly more than a mile...

    SIJ - Day 10 Calm seas lap Slapton Sands

    With the clearance of this mornings flat grey cloud and drizzle I drove the 5 miles to Slapton and took a series of photographs I had planned beforehand. I then had a snack and a pint of cider in the Queens Arms and found I had to waste some time in the memorial car park waiting for a local Post...

    The life aquatic afterdark I was planning to take more photos tonight but it suddenly poured down raining and hailing pretty hard so only had 2 photos to choose from, this was one of them.
