A countryside wander around Winterborne Kingston
Grey, cold, and damp….. a typical Winter’s day in the south of England. Despite these conditions I very much enjoy wandering around the countryside, and in particular photographing the various farm buildings I encounter. They hold a certain fascination and are often in a state of disrepair. It’s a subject I keep returning to, and I don’t imagine this ever changing. The combination of a walk in the Dorset landscape with a camera for company is always a pleasure irrespective of the weather; although warm, waterproof clothing and a good pair of walking boots are a requirement.
The walk began and ended at the church of St Nicholas in Winterborne Kingston. A fine display of snowdrops reminded me that Spring isn’t so very far away.

Exciting to see snowdrops, a nice gift from St Nicholas, it’ll be quite a while before we see them here (northern U.S.) still -13c some nights.

Yes, always a sign that Spring isn’t too far away. South coast of England and we might get to -5c if we are unlucky.

I’ve read several articles by photographers who think the grey weather is the best time to photograph utilitarian farm or industrial structures, these scenes you’ve got here support that.

I completely agree. The flat light and subject matter also suit monochrome. I find it much harder in bright sunlight and harsh contrast.
