One of the memorable privileges I have is of being able to record the Essex landscape as we walk...here are a few shots - the loneliness of the marshy mudflats, the beauty of the vales and the path before us...
Below centre here are some mudflats looking just like basking hippos...
Ewes and lambs from Old Hall Marshes,
north of Tollesbury - sadly weak and under-developed.
Left is the sea wall around the north east of Mersea Island, showing the oyster beds...still used.
The photo below right is the northern coast of the River Blackwater,
courtesy of Google Earth, a patchwork quilt of fields and edges.
A path across a wheatfield turns out to be the majestic Essex Way - a national treasure indeed - but not always easy to spot!
The photos below are all of the River Stour, as it wends its way through Dedham Vale, the painting ground of John Constable (and a few others!)
Being there to take these pictures was wonderful - I hope you enjoy them.
