Last Sunday we visited the town of Ware, in Hertfordshire, through which runs the river Lea.  I took along a Nikon D90 with 18-105mm f3.5/5.6 VA DX lens.  Here are some of the photographs of what I saw.

Graham,

Again, a very pleasant photo tour.   Judging by the hair detail of the pretty blond girl, that 18-105 mm lives up to Nikon standards. 

Summer days in Britain are spotty at best, thanks for capturing these Summer scenes for us.

Another excellent series! The first and third are beautiful images. I'd love to use that first picture as desktop background!

You have made me wish for Summer, or at least for some more hospitable weather.

Thank you all.  Julio, you should be able to download the image from Fotopic by clicking on the displayes image to access the original, and right click on that.  If it's not high enough resolution, send me a PM and I will e-mail you a hi-res copy.

Cricket a lasting vestige of the empire. My friend from India was complaining because they never show Cricket in the U.S.A.
