I took a visit to How Hill this evening to get some photos of the Turf Fen Windmill at sunset. At this time of the year the sun sets behind the windmill. I walked along the bank of the River Ant until I found a good vantage point without getting any boats in my shots.
The last time I took a trip to Happisburgh Lighthouse was back in the winter when there was snow on the ground and cliffs. I thought I would revisit Happisburgh again to see how much the landscape has changed since my last trip.
Finding the right combination of weather, tide and astrological conditions to capture the sky reflecting on the wet sand at Cromer is a challenge. Most of the times I have been to Cromer, I have been out of luck with the weather, tides being too high or the sun being in the wrong place.
After my visit to Felbrigg Hall, I thought I would take a stroll through Sheringham Park as it is just down the road. I know that the rhododendrons and azaleas are blooming around this time of year.
After a busy week and having one of my photos of Horsey Mere being featured on the National Trust East of England web page as ‘photo of the month’, I thought I would use my membership and take a trip to Felbrigg Hall.
Today I went on a photography workshop with experienced Landscape Photographer Jon Gibbs, who helped me fine tune some of my photography techniques.
From my last trip to Cromer in April I found that when I was standing on the beach, the sun was setting behind the cliffs rather than out to sea.
Horsey Windpump is set within the Broads National Park, and provides stunning views over the coast and Broadland landscape. Operated by the National Trust, the windpump is currently open to the public.
This evening’s weather conditions were ideal to take a drive out to Turf Fen Mill. Back in January, I went to Turf Fen Mill and got some amazing shots of the sun setting and windmill reflecting in the River Ant.
As the weather has been getting a bit better, I thought it would nice to end the week by taking a trip to the North Norfolk seaside town of Cromer.
Horsey Mere is located just west of the Horsey Windpump and is one of the Norfolk Broads. Owned and operated by the National Trust, the mere is a site of special scientific interest. By parking at Horsey Windpump you can walk around the staithe to get to the viewing point on the broad.
Hickling Broad is situated on the upper River Thurne and is the largest of the Norfolk Broads. The Broad is also a national nature reserve where you can find a vast amount of wildlife and rare insects.
