Weald and Downland Museum

2013-09-08 we had a family outing to the Weald and Downland living museum, Sussex, England. In addition to being a very interesting place to take a camera, it is also home to a gaggle of particularly photogenic white Embden geese.

Having a gander

I always enjoy photographing geese. They are curious creatures and they always seem so keen to pose for me. These particular geese live at the Weald and Downland Living Museum, a fascinating 16 hectare open air site, about 30 km east of my studio. The chap in the foreground seemed particularly keen to have his photo taken – right up to the point where he tried to eat my camera.

Fortunately it was only my old Fuji HS20 bridge camera and geese have no teeth! Though having a few tissues round to wipe-off the goose snot and surplus goose food may be desirable.
