Excerpt from Photo Pictures in East Anglia Nor do the pastoral scenes Of Essex and Suffolk, the strange Vast fertile tracts Of fenland, and the high lands Of Essex and Norfolk exhaust the scenic attractions of this part Of the country. For perhapsone Of its most beautiful natural features is the lovely string of lakes called Broadland, beloved of Sportsmen, full of endless possibilities for the artist, and an ever changeful, restful haunt for the summer idler. Of late years the Broads have become fashionable. To idle away the sunny 'days, and long, sweet summer nights in a trim-built Wherry, gliding past the picturesque villages, now over great lonely tracts of water, now through such animated aquatic scenes as are presented at Oulton and at Wroxham, now through mere woodland pools fringed with wild flowers, and ferns, and sedges, has, happily, commended itself to thousands who would once have thought such delights im possible, save at Killarney, or on the Scottish lochs, or among the English lakes. Yet, though these exquisite haunts lie within a couple of hours' Journey Of London, and their charms are no longer left unrecognised nor their beauties unrevealed to those who profess to care for theipicturesque, even those Who know them best declare that there is always something new to be discovered on and around these wild and ever changing waters. Custom cannot stale their infinite variety, for while each broad has a character of its own, there also lies in the towns and village's that border them a wealth Of interest not easily to be exhausted. Bluff East Anglia may well proudly boast Of its magnificent shores, the surge indeed leaps on its iron coast with iron hoof, and across the great rolling waters Of the North Sea there sweeps over Eastern England such exhilarating air as can be found nowhere else in, this island. But it has as good reason, too, to be proud of the peaceful waters of Broadland, and of the picturesque and romantically interesting River Orwell, which has been called the English Rhine, and is certainly one Of the most beautiful Of the smaller rivers of England.
