Thetford Forest

For those of you who don't know, the U.S. military community is quite small here in our little corner of East Anglia.  We'd grown accustomed to life in a military town back in San Diego, and in comparison the "Tribase Area" here is minuscule.  The base I work on, RAF Alconbury, has very limited services, including a small Base Exchange and a small Commissary, which stock the basics.  Blake's base, RAF Molesworth, doesn't even have that!  So we eventually made the trek that all new military families here make... to RAF Lakenheath.  Lakenheath has the coveted "big BX", which is practically a mall.  It's about an hour east via an assortment of motorways, dual carriageways, and single carriageways.  We quickly discovered that the trip is often encumbered with crippling traffic jams, which agitate Blake but give me the opportunity for window photography.  One of the nicest views of the Lakenheath area is the surrounding forest.  Our Tribase region is all farmland, and we don't see tall trees very often.  Here is one such shot of Thetford Forest.
