Norwich and Norfolk Broads in Black and White

I gave a lecture in Norwich a couple of years ago and had to stay overnight because of the distance from home.
Arriving early enough for a few photos in early evening before the lecture was a bonus. The next day I had several hours around Norwich before driving out to the Norfolk Broads at Thurne.

Cobbles and Broads

I made it home from Norfolk about 7.15pm tonight, almost 5h from Wroxham as delayed near Newark and had to divert.

Took some more photos around Norwich this morning on a very warm blue sky day. It was back to the Castle as the light was different to that in those I took yesterday evening.

Then on to Cathedral, followed by a stroll along the river bank to Elm Hill, an old narrow cobbled street with some old buildings. Finished about 11.45am with a shot of the Forum, a very modern building.

Then it was east and a bit north to Thurne for some windmills and boats on the Norfolk Broads. I also stopped in Horning and tried to stop in Wroxham but both were overrun with people so I didn't take a single shot.

Running private darkroom courses on the next 2 days. Will try and fit in a walk or two over Easter break as well as preparing for retail show at RHS Wisley next weekend.

Trip to the Flat Lands

I'm in Norwich tonight. Didn't need to worry about journey, no hold-ups so here in time to take some photos of castle in evening light and the old Royal Arcade shopping mall.

Then it was straight over to give a lecture to the Norwich Photo Society. Very friendly, large, chatty audience, including people from neighbouring clubs too, so the evening flew by. Sold lots of books too which makes it more worthwhile travelling this distance.

Hoping for good weather tomorrow and more photos around the city before taking the long way round so that I can take some Norfolk Broads photos to fill a gap in my picture library.
