Germans at Studland - Dorset

Fort Henry – Studland.
On April 4th 1944 Exercise Smash was conducted at Studland Bay in preparation for the D-Day landings. Whilst Valentine DD tanks were being tested, the wind and swell increased and as a result six tanks sank with the loss of six crew members. Today a memorial stands in their honour overlooking the beach.
Overlooking the sea on this site is Fort Henry, where Churchill, Eisenhower and others once watched as soldiers conducted their exercises. With walls 1 metre thick, it is the largest and strongest Observation post to be built in Britain.

Furzey Gardens - Spring - New Forset - Dorset

Final part of my seasons return to Furzey Gardens. Last year we arrived late July 2008 to take photographs of the Gardens and buildings. It was a lovely sunny day and we spent most of the day there. May of this year we returned to unsettled weather. Day one was sunny at first till it clouded over. Day two was over cast all day. The Garden was in full bloom with pinks, reds and many more colours. Hope to return again soon

Hillier Gardens - Hampshire

Hillier Gardens:

After my survey back in March, I came back to set up our mast in 5 positions in the gardens. Mast set up on May 5th and 6th. First day the weather was fair with some sun while the second day it was dull. The time slot was between 6pm till 8pm. The weather was the down side and with a bit more time I would have had some good photographs. The staff was very helpful. In whole I took some interesting photographs.
