Quiet on The Levels

Here are images taken over the course of two days on Shapwick Heath, Somerset.

Fund-raiser

These images were taken at a fund-raising day at Henstridge airfield, Somerset, on the Dorset border. It was in aid of our local Air Ambulance Service that is based there.  (A vital asset to those for whom the nearest A&E can be 40+ minutes away by road.)

A Visit to the Zoo

I went to check out Marwell Zoo, Hampshire, for its potential as a photo-opportunity.  It was a very hot day, so my expectations for that day were low.  A visit in the colder weather looks like it may pay off.
