  • The Falls of Foyers

    The Falls of Foyers

    This stunning waterfall can be found in the Highlands of Scotland, at a place called Foyers. What did this image teach me? Following your instincts when travelling around the Highlands of Scotland can sometimes result in something incredible.

  • A Tower of 🦒 Giraffes

    A Tower of 🦒 Giraffes

    The collective term for a gathering of giraffes is a “tower”… and so I offer you a very small tower of giraffes (well, technically it’s several pictures of individual giraffes, but you get the idea…) what did these images teach me? The collective term for a group of giraffes, that’s what!

  • Staffa Island

    Staffa Island

    I’ve been working through the archives again, and came across this nautical image. This is Staffa Island, at the Scottish end of the Giant’s Causeway. What did this image teach me? That taking wide angle panoramas on a bobbing boat can be something of a challenge!

  • The Red Eye

    The Red Eye

    Here’s a pigeon. He has a red eye. There’s not much more I can say about it, I suppose. What did this image teach me? Never trust a pigeon. Just look how shifty he is!

  • Grey Leaves

    Grey Leaves

    I like the texture of these leaves, and their general look and feel. I couldn’t resist converting them to black and white. What did this image teach me? Leaves don’t always have to be shown in colour, sometimes black and white allows their unique natural texture to shine through.

  • What Do You Call A Man With A Seagull On His Head?

    What Do You Call A Man With A Seagull On His Head?

    Cliff. Sorry. What did this image teach me? Puns are bad?
