English Scenes

England at its best is rather lovely. It needs an artistic eye to use a camera well. Any midrange camera can produce first class results. It is the user that makes them. Here are some examples. There are more good ones north of the border in Scottish Scenes or Scottish Scenes II. A recent addition is an English Country Garden in the County of Kent.

An English Country Garden 
It is in Kent and beautiful. Sadly it is run by the National Trust, which was infiltrated by Marxists, using Entryism to take control.

Trevorne Bay In Cornwall

Scottish scenery can be nice when it stops raining, when the midges stop biting, when it warms up....

Glencoe

 

Rather good, aren't they? They come from the Daily Mail A lot of them are from foreign parts such as Scotland.


Mystical: The isolated Rodel Saltmarsh on the Isle of Harris, in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, is one of the images shortlisted for the exhibition. Would you actually want to be there in the cold, the wet?

 


Swan lake: Early morning mist hovering over the water lends a mysterious feel to this scene in London's Richmond Park. This means getting up early but at least it is in civilization.

 


The splendour of the changing seasons is shown in all its glory in Tarn Hows, Cumbria

 


Up close: Toadstools take shelter under larger specimens in this image taken in Cumbria using macro photographic technology.

 


Getting to the bottom of it: This captivating image of beech tree roots in Avebury, Wiltshire, show the complexity of the woodland base.

 


Crumbling creativity: These leaves bring a splash of colour to an autumnal Acer in Gloucestershire.

 


Lonely planet: Frost-dusted trees stand alone in a wintry field in Stirlingshire, Scotland.

 


Angelic: An image of spectators taking pictures of the Angel of the North is given an atmospheric feel in this black and white image. Gimmicks are part of the art industry. They get away with them too. The art racketeers don't like them being called Degenerate Art. The truth has its uses.

 


In the picture of Rocquaine Bay in Guernsey, the Channel Islands, it is difficult to delineate the foaming seas and wintry sky.

 


Wind in the sails: A lone boat near Hurst Castle in Hampshire appears to have got away from the rest of the competitors in the Round the Island Race.

 


Rolling landscape: In this image, taken in Tweedale in Scotland, the bright lime green of the fields is in stark contrast to the line of billowing cloud and the dark sky above.
