Felt in the need for something sweet and simple today. This rather fitted the bill.
A valiant catch-up effort today, I feel I am winning. Tomorrow is the annual May Day (maypole dancing etc) celebration in the village and I've drawn the short straw again so will be wearing a silly I mean pretty pink dress and herding children while discreetly carrying an authentically-oldeworlde-camera somehow... hoping to get some morris men shots so we can speculate together as to why someone thought of tying bells to their calves and shaking hankies at each other...?!
So grateful for your comments on the cave carvings from yesterday... I tried all sorts of settings but found the essential thing was to rest the camera on a flat surface to avoid the shake as the sensor took it all in. The light was adequate but subdued, but there were many lights around the cave which confused the issue while casting odd shadows and adding to the atmosphere! It's a man-made cave, carved out of the chalk in a sort of bell shape. How and why and who...? Click on the tag 'royston cave' if you want to see my shots from last year etc.
Thank you - and have a marvellous Bank Holiday May Day Monday!
I remember seeing Morris dancers in Winchester back in 2007 on my previous visit to he UK - bunch of loonies having a lot of fun
