November 27th – I passed through Lichfield at sunset, and later, into Brownhills West from Chasewater where I checked out a new twist on an old muse.

Lichfield was beautiful but busy, so I grabbed a few shots at Stowe and Minster Pools before heading home through Hammerwich and Chasewater. At Chasewater, I was interested to see how the recent change from sodium lamps to white LED on the M6 Toll had affected the curoious portal effect on the footbridge which has so fascinated me before. 

It’s still a very otherworldly effect. This pleases me.

May 7th – A spin up the former railway off Engine Lane, Brownhills, took me under the A5 and heading for Albutts Road, I spotted this fine Laburnum in full bloom at the rear of the Wilkin Estate.Sadly, these beautiful ornamental trees are becoming a rare sight due to their highly poisonous seeds, which children have been known to eat.
