Visiting the historic town of Colmar, on the Alsatian plain in eastern France.
We’ve all heard of the dreaded “Rail Replacement Bus”. But what if we had Rail Replacement Helicopters instead?
The road from Easter Ross into the Strathrusdale valley leads into what I felt was the middle of nowhere.
Lots of work stopped me from going out so much, but we did get in a great trip to canton Wallis.
One of my hobbies is visiting less-than-salubrious destinations to take interesting photographs.
Relying on others for our journey and a problematic experience stretching over two days is no way to begin a relaxing holiday.
Clearing out a hard drive, I came across a file with some notes made whilst travelling in Sicily in 2009.
I like unusual things and the tiny natural island around 500 metres from the lake shore at Villeneuve, on Lac Léman, certainly fits that bill.
After a twelve year wait, I finally get a decent photograph of Blair Castle, near Pitlochry in Scotland.
Aerial views of a flooded glen in the wilds of northern Scotland, with low water levels exposing the old road.
Catching the first train from Zermatt onto the mountain and photographing the most well-known peak in Switzerland.
Living in a land-locked, mountainous country can be hard when you love the seaside, beaches, caves and coastal nature. Luckily, Scotland abounds in such things, and we took the opportunity to spend a couple of hours at Lunan Bay when we visited Angus in July.
We took advantage of a much-reduced number of tourists in July to visit Venice. I came away with an unexpected number of good and unique photographs.
Leaving the familiar fells and valleys of the Lake District to visit a less familiar part of northern England.
Even after the many miles of road travel to the populated north of Scotland, the next stage out into the northern Highlands, delineated by the huge Great Glen between Oban and Inverness, is something else entirely. Leaving dual carriageways behind on the Black Isle and heading west, especially during inclement weather, both the roads and the landscape become increasingly…
A mighty family rose from a little castle amongst the fields in Swiss canton Aargau.
About as close as we can get to visiting Germany at the moment; the car park next to the Rhine on the edge of Switzerland. (The river marks the northern border, which is closed because of the pandemic.)
