environment – Page 6 – The photography of Paul L.G. Morris

This is a lovely nature reserve in the middle of urban Stoke-on-Trent. We made our first visit there last month and were pleasantly surprised at the extent of the reserve and the proximity to housing – in fact there were several entrances from the surrounding housing estates. Below is a selection of the photos that I took on the day:

This first image I use to set the scene; a panoramic view of the countryside but with the adjacent housing showing:

A view of the small lake at the southern end of the reserve with wild flowers in the foreground

A panoramic view of the lake with a swan sleeping by one of the park benches

A second panoramic view of the lake with wild flowers and shrubs in the foreground

This reserve was a pleasant surprise – we intend to make further visits.

I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call ‘Nearscapes’.

I also produce interactive virtual tours and virtual walk videos.

I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd. View all posts by Paul L.G. Morris
