  • Bow Fiddle

    Bow Fiddle

    This fine looking natural rock formation, known as Bow Fiddle Rock, lives on the coast at Portknockie, Scotland.

  • Ruthven

    Ruthven

    If you’ve followed my photography at all, you’ll know that I am a sucker for a ruined structure on a hill. So, Ruthven Barracks near Kingussie in Scotland is right up there on my list of favourite places. Even on a gloomy day.

  • Episode 34 – Climbing Caen Hill

    Episode 34 – Climbing Caen Hill

    Having turned at Bradford-on-Avon, we take our hired narrowboat back up through the locks at Caen Hill, including the famous 16-lock flight (the longest lock flight in England). We journey most of the way in tandem, with another group of holidaymakers which makes operating all of those locks that bit easier (so thank you, whoever…

  • Mist on the Water

    Mist on the Water

    Fort William is a Scottish town that sits on the side of Loch Linnhe. This shot was taken looking out from the edge of the town across the loch, on a fresh morning several years ago. One day I will go back. One day.

  • Sky Over The Sea

    Sky Over The Sea

    I found this view, a mixture of bright evening sunlight and dense, stormy clouds whilst sitting on a bench in Gairloch, in Scotland.

  • Desert Light

    Desert Light

    If you look out across the Mojave desert from Las Vegas, at sunset, then this is the sort of splendid sight you might just see. A natural beauty that is a whole world away from the man-made glitz and glamour of the Entertainment Capital of the World.
