Disused Stations: Bartlow Station (Saffron Walden branch platform)
During a recent trip to Cambridge I had occasion to stop in Saffron Walden. Whenever I'm there I like to wander through the magical Bridge End Gardens, now lovingly restored to their original 1870s glory. Many years ago, with an early Fuji digital camera, I made a photograph of the yew hedge. At that time the gardens had not been restored and the yew was overgrown and unkempt. (A copy of this original image is in the comments as you can't add photos to descriptions!) Every time I have returned to the gardens I've explored this same location as I found it quite mysterious and evocative. However, I have never produced a photograph there that conveyed my feelings about the place as well as this one does. The light on the day of my visit was perfect, the gardens deserted. Sunlight reflected from the stone path lit the underside of the yew branches and backlit the formal gardens. This is a 'straight' image; a single exposure not HDR, not cropped, no enhanced colour, no supplementary lighting, just minimal dodging and burning in Lightroom. I'm happy with this one.
