Our third summer photoshoot took place at The Lawns in the old town area of Swindon. The Lawns is a large park area of 50 acres and was formerly part of the Goddard estate. It was also the site of Swindon’s original parish church – Holy Rood – which nowadays just has a couple of arches remaining. It also features two lakes, woodland, the remains of an Italian sunken garden and a small part of the original house has a number of trails. The woodlands in particular have some very impressive, mature trees.

The park has a relaxing atmosphere and this combined with the early evening heat probably explained the lethargy that some members felt as they searched out new and interesting viewpoints for images. Whilst no-one felt they had managed to capture any competition worthy images, nevertheless acquaintances were renewed and we managed some exercise in the process.
