  • Contrasts

    This is not two photos merged, it was actually like that. The dead pine needles covering the river bank, and still dying on the branches, whilst the deciduous trees were in full leaf. Another image from the walk along the River Derwent. Glad I took my camera.

  • Misty morning

    The purpose of the walk was to get to the beacon for stunning views over the Malvern Hills. The weather had other ideas, and by the time we reached the top our view was fog and about ten feet in front of us. However, on the way up, there were other photographic opportunities thankfully.

  • River Walk

    A walk along the river Derwent in Derbyshire. After a bit of rain the sun came out, illuminating a gap in the trees. Five seconds to wait until an obliging family walked through, with their dog.


  • Woodland Guardians

    Listen to the wind’s secrets
    Rustling in the leaves

    A beautiful location, discovered after watching a video by Gary Gough, one of my favourite photographers. This woodland path is photogenic in all weathers and seasons. According to the locals I met it is most magical in the moonlight. Just watch out for the headless horseman.
