Royal Blue
Walking on East Street about three weeks ago, every few minutes or so, one of these antique buses would roll by (see below) – I have no idea why, where they were coming from or going to. A few minutes after the last one had passed, along came this couple in an antique car, coincidentally or not.

If you find yourself in the Farnham (Surrey) area over the next couple of weeks please stop by the University and see the show. Contact me if you’d like to meet and I can give you the 5p tour.
Long Term Couple
My project of the final semester of the MFA has been about the relationship of long-term older couples. The current portfolio comprises pictures of my partner and me only, but I am considering branching out to add more couples and make it a more representative and documentary project. When I saw this couple kissing on the platform I asked them if I could photograph them. Unfortunately, the train pulled in just then so I only had time to grab this single shot and could learn no more about them.
Moor Park House
Final image from last month’s walk to Waverley Abbey, the Moor Park House. We turn off the North Downs Way, onto the public footpath running past this private complex on the left, through the Moor Park.
Swan’s Way
with apologies to Marcel Proust
Hard to tell from the picture but this bird was gigantic. It walked up the road to the car park, then over to the water and swam away (see below).
Waverley Abbey
When we got to the Abbey a guard informed us we couldn’t enter. Instead we walked up to the car park and along the river on the side we’d never been able to get to on previous visits, across a barricaded bridge to Waverley House. So we got some different views before decided we might be straying into trespassing.
Some Purdy Flowers
All from the same walk along the North Downs Way and Moor Park to the Waverley Abbey. I have no idea what any of them are called.

More Wey Reflections
We took another walk along the North Downs Way, headed towards Waverley Abbey. And again, I was struck by the magical beauty of the overgrowth reflected in the River Wey.

Fog Pond
When I take the train to London, before even getting to Alderhsot, I always see beautiful bodies of water out the train window. Some weeks ago I resolved to go find them and photograph them. Of course, the train is elevated at this point, so I wasn’t sure I’d get the same view, and I wondered if I could get passed the obscuring treeline. Looking on the map, I found the Badshot Lea Big Pond was a walk of only a little over a couple of miles so we set off on the firs nice day. Unfortunately, when we got there, we discovered it was a private fishing club with no admittance and no real view through the shrubbery. Then, about a week later, a train ride to London on a foggy morning, at low speed, presented another opportunity (click the images below to see them larger).
