Cold, damp and grey. The perfect conditions to capture some images. As it happens it was. For five years, my good friend and I have visited all the villages in Harborough District council. We create images that reflect what we have seen. Of course that has required some solo visits. Today was one of those days. My mission was to capture the edges of the district. The first was at Highcross on the Fosse Way. Here two counties, three district councils and two Roman roads meet.

I could complain about the bitter wind, which it was. However, the reason I was feeling the cold was because I had not put my glove on my camera hand. So perhaps I shouldn’t complain too much.

The second location was a few Km’s away at the southernmost point of Leicestershire: Crossing the River Avon between Catthorpe and Lilbourne. It is a very strange place. It is located deep in rural England. However, the roar of the traffic using the M1/M6 junction constantly reminds you that modernity is just a moment away.

At one level I’ll be sad to see the end of this project. It wasn”t suppose to take five years but a certain unknown unknown got in the way. If you don’t know what that might be, the first images were captured in early spring. This was in February 2020. Can’t think what might have happened soon after that?
