A shot from shoe-level, trackside of the Stratford Railway Station which sits reflected neatly in a puddle from recent rains and festooned with pots of fuchsia hung from its eaves. To the left, the sky and its reflection a soft blue textured with white puffs of fair weather cumulus.
A view of Tom Patterson Island and the arched bridge connecting it to the Stratford mainland. It is dusk, the sky is amber, there are a few strings of lights in the shadows on the island and in the dar foreground a long dragon boat sits moored, awaiting its next crew. The monochromatic amber, the still water reflecting the island and sky, and the boat give the scene a somewhat Oriental feel.
A view of Tom Patterson Island through the willows lining the footpath along the shore of Victoria Lake. The sun is about to set, its disc still blazing in the foliage for a few more minutes. There is a lovely blend of yellow and green and the trees somehow seem especially tall in this light.
