Burton is nestled somewhere in lower middle englandshire and I can recollect times i went there as a little kid on family outings or when we had overseas visitors. It’s idyllic england for me.
I had to deliver a pint of p!$$ to my new employers as part of the recruitment process to see if I’ve been a naughty boy and pilled myself up over christmas. It’s a long way to go for a checkup, but the detour was well worth it.
Loughborough to Gloucester could be done in so many ways; A512, M42, M5 - BORING
So i decided to take the A46 through stratford (on avon - not east london), then along the A429 then A417. Man there were so many brilliant sweepers in the cotswolds! I guess it’s time for me to book myself onto a track day so i can have a controlled environment to have fun on! But, highlight of the day was ending up at Burton, parked up by the stream and had myself some wicked pasty which was a minature full english on pastry! Nice; reminds me of my childhood!
Anyway, I thought i’d share the fun with you guys.
Pics were taken on a K800i and no, i wasn’t bothered changing the presents.
It was pretty nostalgic. I still remember growing up and going on family trips. Imagine a 10 year old kid walking through the model village and visting brum as well as that model shop looking at 00 gauge trains… only to be distracted by a bunch of power rangers burbling through on gixxers and exups!
Took the pics so i can send em to my folks back in indonesia - it’ll make them feel a bit homesick because we used to love the cotswolds. It’s a shame i only had my mobile on me since i could get much better results with my digicam - that said, i feel for treating myself to a superzoom camera for my birthday next week.
I can’t wait until i’m down there permanently. The amount of awesome roads in middle england is definitely worth it. That said, with me being in loughborough, i’m already spoilt for choice with good roads; but yeah, there’s something definitely enchanting about the cotswolds.
Mind you, i stopped for a quick drink at Stratford on my way down and discovered that it’s still full of greebos and emos; just as i remember it. I’d lke to be able to walk down the street without some bellend going “brap” or “blud, u got a lite!”.
Yeah, it was a good day, and a good spur of the moment choice to take a detour!
he he… well it’s been painted:) but could play around except that here I don’t have Photoshop I have GIMP… similar but not the same… that little difference enough for me to get lost in it:)
Actually I would like to know what Titz is using… for that effect so I don’t kill myself trying to find out…
I though that too but wanted to make sure… since people can get effects by mixing layers and different layers with different filters the combining them…
I assume this was a quick job since he has quite a few photos… so HDR filter might be it:) I will try it too…
