  I took a visit to Norton Juxta Blooms directly opposite @TwycrossZoo in Leicestershire to see their spectacular Sunflower field, we made the visit at Sunset so as the sun slid below the horizon the field started to glow deep yellow and oranges. We also had an unexpected flypast by some Para motors which took off from an adjacent field flying low over the Sunflowers adding to the special atmosphere. In this film i explore the field finding a bright blue tractor contrasting against the Yellow flowers and exploring the maze of paths throughout, as the sun sinks lower the Sunflowers seem to be soaking up the last few rays and bow their heads till sunrise tomorrow. please see the Norton Juxta Blooms website for opening times and a special thanks to the team there for allowing us to film after hours.  

The Waxwings is a short film about a group of waxwings living in Loughborough (Leicestershire), filmed in the evening as the sun set I watched the tiny colourful birds carefully pick berries from the trees as they swayed in the wind. The waxwing has a prominent crest and reddish-brown colouring with a black throat and a small black mask round its eye. The waxwing is a winter visitor to the UK and is usually found in flocks between October and March.

Jinty, Is a short about Jinty 47406 a small steam engine who is seen here steaming along the Great Central Railway near Quorn at sunset on 19-02-2012. The Sunlight shone through the coach windows as she passed by on an elevated part of the track making for a scene that reminds me of the (old) opening titles to Thomas the tank engine !.

Whilst on a flight to Italy we where treated to these stunning views of the Alps stretching out below the aircraft The mountain sides where highlighted by the sun and created a truly spectacular sight that looked otherworldly in its beauty, Nature at its finest.

Turbine - The Low Spinney Wind Farm is a short film about the newly created wind farm situated between the villages of Ashby Magna, Gilmorton and Dunton Bassett, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire. The wind farm is expected to be fully operational by mid-summer. Filmed at sunset the silhouettes of the 125m high turbines look strange but also perfectly in tune with their natural surroundings. click below to see stills taken at the farm

The sky looked spectacular tonight each cloud tinted deep red by the setting sun I had to take a photo.
