The Peacock is thriving in Britain and colonising more of the country as it moves northward. It likes buddleia (in the picture) and needs nettle patches for laying its eggs.

Hills Waste Landfill, Lower Compton, near Calne

Taken with a Nikon D2Xs set to high speed crop and therefore 'converting' the 180mm lens to a 360mm equivalent in the old 35mm film measurement of focal length. Aperture was f/9.5; speed 1/350th sec; ISO 400. The picture was taken from Morgan's Hill, some two-and-a-half miles distant from the Lower Compton landfill site which is in the top left-hand corner.

Caen Hill Flight
|
|
|
At Caen Hill, Devizes, a flight of 29 locks was built to lift the Kennet and Avon canal 237 feet over a distance of two miles from the Avon Valley to the Vale of Pewsey. It is one of the major engineering feats of the canal era: the gradient is 1 in 44.
The middle section, where this photograph was taken, comprises 16 locks in a straight line. It was the last section of the canal to be built and was completed in 1810. For 30 or 40 years, the canal flourished, but the coming of the railways eclipsed its usefulness and it fell into a state of neglect.
I used an AF Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 lens on a Fuji S3 Pro camera. 400 ISO; 1/350th; f/4.8.

A Little Tent of Blue

I never saw a man who looked
With such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky,
And at every drifting cloud that went
With sails of silver by.
Nikon D3s + Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 AF lens.
The verse is from "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" by Oscar Wilde.
