And full of sewage on I flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.

I bid successfully on eBay for an old Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 lens. They made this lens from 1964 until 1975 and then inexplicably replaced it with a lens universally agreed to be its inferior (a bit like the Ford Motor Company when it replaced the Escort in 1990; you can probably think of other good examples of bad marketing). The construction quality, fit and finish of this lens is exquisite. Nothing like this is made now and even the current lens offerings will mostly be gone before this lens breaks. If you want to safely use a lens like this on a Nikon digital camera which isn’t ‘entry level’ you need to check it has been modified to AI compatibility, or you could wreck your camera. None of them was ever made to the new standard which Nikon introduced in 1977. It was a lens like this that David Hemmings used to photograph Veruschka in the studio scenes of the 1966 film ‘Blow-Up’. You can appreciate therefore that owning a lens like this will enhance your style credentials as well as instantly make you a better photographer.

Bide Brook, Lacock, Wiltshire. The focus is way off; the result is almost an impression of the bridge. Not a particularly successful photograph but something of a little tribute to Claude Monet. Canon EOS 40D + Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens.

Described in the National Trust leaflet handed to visitors to Lacock Abbey as 'Rockworks: Romantic ruins of an eighteenth century folly'. However, more recently (2015) the Head Gardener of Lacock Abbey has reported some repairs to the rockworks are being undertaken and has indicated that the structure was built in 1740 and formed part of a system of water gardens which were later destroyed (no reason for the ruination is supplied). Originally water flowed through an arch over a stone cascade, but after flooding in the village during the 20th century, the water was diverted to drop its level by over a metre. Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.
