Dawn in Durham

This is one of my all time favourites, taken during a two day Photography seminar at Durham University. I got up early one day with my Leica M6 and 35mm F2 lens and snapped people going to work as the morning mist cleared.

    WHAT have I done for you,
    England, my England?
    What is there I would not do,
    England, my own?
    With your glorious eyes austere,
    As the Lord were walking near,
    Whispering terrible things and dear
    As the Song on your bugles blown, England –
    Round the world on your bugles blown!

    Where shall the watchful Sun,
    England, my England,
    Match the master-work you’ve done,
    England, my own?
    When shall he rejoice again
    Such a breed of mighty men
    As come forward, one to ten,
    To the Song on your bugles blown, England –
    Down the years on your bugles blown?

    Ever the faith endures,
    England, my England: –
    “Take and break us: we are yours,
    England, my own!
    Life is good, and joy runs high
    Between English earth and sky:
    Death is death; but we shall die
    To the Song on your bugles blown, England –
    To the stars on your bugles blown!”

    Stunning...it takes a leaf out of Don McCullin's book...my kind of shot. Rich, heavy and dramatic.
