CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

This week we will be leaving Grantham in Lincolnshire, which has been our home since November 1990.  We moved here from Forres, which is a small town in Morayshire, 30 miles from Inverness in Scotland and on Wednesday we will be returning to Scotland to live, this time to Dunbar in East Lothian. I have decided to dedicated the blogs this week to places around Grantham and today's article is on St Wulfram's Church, the dominant landmark in the town. History It is believed that a church stood on the site long before Norman times, but of the original Saxon church probably only a few stones, near the organ loft, remain. The church was totally altered by the Normans and the remains of their church may still be seen in the nave.  The north aisle arcades, except for the two west bays, date from before 1180. The original Norman church was ruined by fire when it was hit by lightning in 1222.[2] The north aisle was rebuilt in about 1250. In 1280 the church expanded westward...

This evening there was a beautiful sunset that turned the clouds about Grantham a deep pink so I grabbed my Fuji X100 and headed out to get a few shots before the light disappeared.  This shot was taken with the sun behind me with the X100 on a tripod and fitted with a Lee 0.9 ND Soft Grad filter.  The shutter speed was 1/8 which was used to give some movement in the rape seed in the foreground which was being blown about in the breeze.
