Cambridge Bikes

I revisited some of the abandoned bikes I've photographed over the past two years.  Most were on the Sidgwick Site, with the History Library in the background.  The top one is the Downing Street Site.

Cambridge at dusk.

 

St. Peter's, Coton

Quite a short church with three arches to the side aisles.  It has a Norman font and some stained glass windows.  There are two water pumps nearby and the old schoolhouse is just over the road.

 

Sandy Beds

We visited the RSPB HQ at Sandy and met Jonathan there.  Saw Jays and a Nuthatch.

 

UEA, Norwich

Visited the UEA with Barry to photograph some 'brutal' concrete.  The high walkways created some dark canyons beneath, but the residential buildings were 'softer' and more colourful.  The students were very polite and chatty and the food prices low.  The Gormley figure standing on the roof (pic 2) was an unsettling sight!  Pix mostly with 10mm Samyang.   

 

Half-Marathon

The Cambridge Half-Marathon was run in the opposite direction to previous years, so we decided to take the photos at the top of the hill into Grantchester, around Mile 8.  15,000 people took part.  Top pic shows the winner, Jonathan Escalante-Phillips (1 hour 6 mins), then a chasing group of elite runners, then a Prince Harry lookalike as a Pacer.  The men in yellow were running for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.  The guy in the wheelchair and his carers seemed to know a lot of the runners.  The last pic was taken at 11.45 and the stream of runners showed no signs of slackening.  

 

New Home for a Cambridge Cow

One of the Cows About Cambridge that were auctioned at the end of September has ended up in the village.  This one was at the railway station.  Bug tends to the grave of her great-grandparents Grady.
