Eureka - Contributions Welcome

One I took earlier - Norfolk Skies (as see from Wood Norton)
We realise that not everyone can attend the Eureka Wellbeing Photography group in person. However, if this is true of you then there is a way you can still contribute to the project. Basically, if you want to share some of your photographs via this blog, then do feel free to send (a maximum of three per email) to Colin via howeychoosetouseit@gmail.com

We reserve the right not to publish images (if they are deemed to be offensive in any way), however I trust that this won't be an issue. After all, we
Eurekarites are all about finding wonder as we wonder

A Marvellous Marble Hall!



Earlier today Eureka Wellbeing Photography members visited the amazing Marble Hall at Surrey House. This is the old Norwich Union building, constructed in the early 1900s from Italian marble originally intended for Westminster Abbey. We received a really warm welcome from the staff in reception. In particular, we would like to thank Mark for showing us around the building. This is definitely one of Norwich's heritage treasures and we would strongly encourage you to go and explore it in person. In the meantime, however, here is a slideshow with some of the photos taken by myself and David today. 

Find wonder as you wander!

Thanks!

Vauxhall Bridge, Great Yarmouth - Wonder Wandering

In other contexts I have written about how the town of Great Yarmouth is unfairly dismissed by people who often haven't taken the time to explore its many facets - or, indeed, haven't actually been there in person at all! See for instance, my article, 'Silver from the Sea'. It is my firmly held opinion that the town has much to offer - not least, photographically. Thus, when I visited a few weeks ago I found some wonder as I wandered in the form of a partly painted mid-Victorian bridge. The story of the Vauxhall Bridge is lovingly portrayed in this short animated film made by Matthew Harrison and local Yarmouth children...



Isn't that great! 

I too was inspired by the bridge and here are some of my photographs. These are HDR photos (High Definition Resolution), made by overlaying three separate shots taken at different exposures. I hope you like them...
