Making more of an effort to publish moving pictures, including one from Dartmoor in June.

The third of our slightly soggy hikes in the English Lake District in autumn 2022.

It seems as though there will be a fair amount of travelling for me this year, both around Switzerland (which is pretty normal for Jo and for me in our time off), and abroad. After visiting England in March, I was back again in April to visit Mum; later in the month, I rode the…

One of my hobbies is visiting less-than-salubrious destinations to take interesting photographs.

Another year and another fresh start to a series of monthly recaps. (The complete set from 2022 is here.)

A wind-swept, soggy, lovely walk around Buttermere in the English Lake District.

An autumn ramble from our holiday rental to the top of the nearby Wainwright Fell above Keswick.

The first part of my personal retrospective of a year which – to my eternal relief – wasn’t as bad on a personal level as it could easily have been.

Getting the best shot possible is all about chance, timing and consideration of the correct angle.

2019 was my second year with a drone, and I continued to experiment with the possibilities and travel to places with the specific aim of photographing them from the air.

Oh, did I forget to mention? Jo and I walked up the biggest mountain in England in 2017.
