Waterbirds among the frosted reeds. The swans help to keep small areas of water clear of ice; this is the first time I've seen them [EDIT: keep the water clear] this far up among the reeds.

Timbers. These are exposed frames of a "half-timbered" house on Castle Green; they date from the 16th to 17th century! The brick panels are later additions; they would originally have been "wattle and daub", ie mud. EDIT: The cottage and these timbers can be seen at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035342.

I found a long-expired roll of Konica VX 200 Super colour film from a past Secret Santa, and decided to rate it at EI 50 and try some Intentional Camera Movement (#ICM). TBH it didn't really work out well, but maybe a few are worth showing. Crackley Wood...

This one is #ICM but looks more like a double exposure. Also from Crackley Wood.

Last one from this roll. Some times with #ICM the colours just go really weird on you, no idea where all this pink came from!

I missed this roll of #Kodak200 from my #OlympusMju2. It's always in my jacket pocket, and when I'm out with black & white film and colour is called for, out it comes. I'm getting slightly better results now I remember to turn off flash in lower light frames! This roll was devved by Darkroom UK and scanned by me with Vuescan Pro; colours turned out better than I'd expected. I did scan a couple to RAW for inversion in @darktable but I've not tried that yet.

Following a suggestion from @tomnorthfilm here's another icy Abbey Lake image in a panorama crop!

Magnolia. With this roll I was giving my Vivitar 35-70 zoom a run. I pretty much gave up zooms a few years ago, but it is a really nice lens, replacing the Pentax M 35-70 lens I destroyed on a rocky beach near the Forth Road bridge, years ago!
