  • Escape

    Crawling on scarred knees
    over cold and hard flagstones.
    Escape to the light.

    A bit of a downbeat haiku, but it reflects the feel of the image. Another from Gloucester Cathedral.

  • Winter fog

    As the fog draws in
    and the evening cold bites hard,
    Warmth comes in friendship.

    A foggy December evening, devoid of colour, so crying out for monochrome.

  • Remembering

    Remembering days
    When I braved the open seas.
    Now I sit and watch.

    The North Landing at Flamborough in North Yorkshire is a sheltered cove, home to many seabirds in the cliffs. The Springflower is an old fishing boat, looking out over the cove where it launched.

  • Together Alone

    High on the cliff edge
    Insignificant figures –
    but not to each other.

    This image was taken from the island at Tintagel. The two figures on the cliff were a lucky chance, but help to give the feeling of both the scale and the companiable isolation of the couple.
