The long shadows of March

One of my favourite local churches is St John’s in Duxford. It’s no longer used for worship but is instead cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. A couple of times a year I visit and even though the architecture doesn’t change the light is different every time.

On this occasion I visited in mid-March, when the days hadn’t yet started to lengthen but the shadows were definitely still long and dramatic. There’s something about the light in St John’s which is irresistible, whatever the season, but on this occasion it just called out for a spot of black and white.
