Low Sun - Autumn is here
The days are rapidly getting shorter - as we head for Michaelmas, when there's 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark ... then on towards the time of the year with the shortest days at Christmas. Goodness - I'm talking "Christmas" already.  This afternoon, I took a short walk in the fields behind our home (something I'm prone to do far more often now that we have a dog, and one who understands the word "Walkies" too!). And the sun is getting lower, earlier, leading to some spectacular photos. The buzzard (I'm told it's a buzzard) that nested in the trees on the field's edge this summer was soaring over the field, dramatically lit by the sun behind. Only a few weeks ago, it seems, the grass crop in the field was turned into hay, but already there's a good new crop of clover and thistles, and the odd confused buttercup or two is flowering as well. Both Thursday and Friday of last week, I met visitors off the 19:11 arrival at Melksham - again very much in the low light, as we head to the time of year when it won't be possible to photograph a train in daylight there. Let's hope that with some movements we've seen in our campaign, and all the support we have that this will be the last winter with this depressing state of affairs. Come Lady Day in March, longer days will bring back light on the trains, and come May there's perhaps the best chance yet of a decent service.(written 2009-09-13) Associated topics are indexed under Z202 - Just Pictures[3990] Stripes of Snow - (2013-01-25) [3925] Red sky at night - (2012-11-17) [3907] Weather pictures - (2012-10-29) [3894] A wet Saturday - (2012-10-13) [3846] Signs of Autumn - (2012-08-22) [3837] Evening behind Melksham Spa - (2012-08-12) [3713] Verticals ... last month - (2012-04-29) [3678] Potteries and Staffordshire in the Sunshine - (2012-04-01) [3655] Sights and scenes - more London trip pictures - (2012-03-16) [3616] Bus top - colours of London - (2012-02-17) [3562] Christmas Day - for unique pictures - (2011-12-26) [3473] Picture - Havant Station at Dusk - (2011-10-11) [3356] Holiday patterns - just the art, not the content - (2011-07-13) [3350] A set of pictures without point - (2011-07-08) [3289] New Camera - very first picture, and next from first films - (2011-05-14) [3241] Spring in the countryside near Melksham - (2011-04-10) [3220] Panasonic Lumix TZ20 - (2011-03-28) [3195] Sunny day - Clanger and Picket Woods, Shearwater, and Westbury - (2011-03-06) [3101] The week before Christmas - (2010-12-23) [3096] Contrast in pictures - (2010-12-20) [2989] Oddballs in Plymouth - (2010-10-08) [2914] Older picture. - (2010-08-10) [2888] Recent Pictures - (2010-07-27) [2819] Some more pictures ... - (2010-06-19) [2767] Back from a Python course in Glasgow - (2010-05-16) [2760] Views of Scotland - (2010-05-11) [2756] Same subject - different pictures - (2010-05-09) [2677] Blowing out the winter cobwebs - (2010-03-14) [2611] Sunday Evening, City of London - (2010-01-31) [2582] Starting to arrange the picture library - (2010-01-16) [2553] On a short walk from home - (2009-12-27) [2549] Christmas Day ... - (2009-12-25) [2518] Through the arches - (2009-11-29) [2464] Beauty in pictures - (2009-10-20) [2412] Autumn Fruits and Bristol Old Station - (2009-09-20) [2298] Melksham Carnival Parade - the people - (2009-07-19) [2266] Travelling - (2009-07-02) [2202] Bright Colours - (2009-05-26) [2168] In honour of the photograph, I present ... a walk from Reybridge to Lacock - (2009-05-10) [2146] An evening excursion to Devizes and Avebury - (2009-04-30) [2140] Beware - giving copyright away when you upload a picture - Dogs Trust - (2009-04-25) [2121] Out in the Vale of Pewsey - (2009-04-07) [2101] A B C D of GA and TN - (2009-03-23) [2098] A room without a view - (2009-03-22) [2093] Leading Lines - (2009-03-20) [2034] Through Snow and Flood to Linux and Tomcat - (2009-02-10) [2006] Contrast - (2009-01-23) [1986] Walk to Bowerhill - (2009-01-10) [1981] Bitter cold - (2009-01-07) [1931] Frosty Morning, foggy evening - (2008-12-08) [1919] Transition - (2008-12-03) [1854] Three Seasonal Pictures - (2008-10-25) [1838] Oxford in Pictures - (2008-10-13) [1818] Icelandic Badge - (2008-10-01) [1770] 3 hours from Milton Keynes - (2008-08-24) [1740] Vertical London - (2008-08-06) [1620] Norwich and London - (2008-04-23) [1546] The geometry of East London - (2008-02-19) [1489] Pictures of December - (2007-12-30) [1400] Dark Dawn - (2007-10-22) [1398] Someone else's wedding - (2007-10-21) [1392] Autumnal lighting on a London trip - (2007-10-15) [1234] A review of a week and a trip to Brugge - (2007-06-16) [1233] Horses of Brugge - (2007-06-15) [1216] Five of the best - pictures from London - (2007-06-03) [1172] May day 2007 in pictures - (2007-05-02) [1162] Cheddleton, Staffordshire - (2007-04-26) [1152] Course, right place, right time - (2007-04-17) [1099] Passenger flows - (2007-03-04) [1064] Light and shadows at Beach - (2007-02-04) [1005] Stirling at night - (2006-12-23) [958] Plain Ole nice pictures - (2006-11-30) [870] Autumn comes to Wiltshire. - (2006-09-17) [786] First Light, Bootle Docks, Liverpool - (2006-06-29) [772] Training in Liverpool - (2006-06-21) [713] Pictures from my travels - (2006-05-07) [708] Linescapes of Mull - (2006-05-03) [625] February pictures - (2006-02-26) [557] A new sign - (2006-01-07) [548] San Francisco - (2005-12-30) [416] Mixing up swallows and martins - (2005-08-16) [412] Bristol Balloon Festival - (2005-08-13) [365] Letterbox Pictures - (2005-07-01) [360] Spring turns to Summer - (2005-06-26) [298] Sharing pictures of Wiltshire - (2005-05-02) 3646
