Week 52 07/01/2015 - A Damp Day in The Park

Photo Blog Week 52 - Wed 07 January 2015

Today was something of a miserable one from the point of view of lighting and, combined with frequent drizzle, the camera stayed in my pocket for long periods. As heavy rain had been forecastI, I only took a small pocket camera along which already has a fog spot on the sensor so you will see a mark on zoom shots.

Published late due to other work. Apologies if you are a regular reader.
