In May 2025, I explored the secluded village of Badger near Wolverhampton with my camera, captivated by its timeless, almost hidden character. Ancient trees framed narrow lanes, and the sandstone church stood quietly among bluebells and old gravestones. Down in the dingle, the waterfall murmured softly beneath a canopy of fresh spring green — a perfect place for long exposures and still observation. Badger offered a rich blend of nature and history, ideal for slow, thoughtful photography.
