This second post from Combs Lane continues the rain theme by showing the standing water that accumulated in some of fields during December. Most of the images come from a track that branches off Combs Lane and is marked as Blanchbeck Lane on a few maps. I mention this only because the name Blanchbeck suggests a small stream or ‘beck’ which isn’t visible most of the time but is liable to flood in poor weather. I wonder whether there is actually an underground stream or spring in this area.
These were some of the scenes shown in both fine weather and low light misty conditions:
The following sequence shows the extent of the water accumulation and starts in mid-December, again in fine weather, with the remnants of autumn colour still showing in the oaks trees. A few weeks later this colour has disappeared and the foreground is waterlogged:
To complete this round up of photography from the Combs Lane area are these scenes that show a burst of sunlight under dark threatening clouds. I have come to really value this location during the worsening Covid situation not only for the exercise but for keeping my landscape photography spirits high. It has been a joy to see and capture the changing light and weather conditions - even if I did get rained on a few times!
