Traffic incident in Lode village last week. Geese always have priority! #Lode #Cambridgeshire #Geese #RushHour #FamilyWalk

On the town! We only had a few hours in Santander on the Sunday morning, but we made the most of the cafes, shops and ancient and modern architecture #Santander #Spain #Cathedral #Architecture #CentroBotin

Some images from recent quick boat trip on the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. Lighthouse on Brittany coast, a gannet, hummingbird hawk moth in Santander and a hovercraft as we sailed into Portsmouth #Portsmouth #Santander #Brittany #BayOfBiscay #Gannet

I was reminded it’s almost exactly 3 years since the sycamore gap tree was criminally felled. And it’s 10 years since I had this visit to go and see it. Still feels strange that it’s gone #SycamoreGap #Northumberland #RobinHoodTree #HadriansWall #NationalTrust

Just after sunset at low tide on Hunstanton beach. Due to a quirk of the coastline, a view on the East Anglia coast of the sunset in the west. The beautiful colours and subdued atmosphere was amazing #HunstantonBeach #EastAnglia #Sunset #LowTide #Reflections

Setting sun, wind farm turbines - August 2026 #WindFarm #Turbines #Sunset #EveningSky #Cambridgeshire

A few weeks ago on a visit to London and stopped at the British museum. I’m fascinated by the roof at the museum and the strong sunlight gave it an interesting super saturated look and brought out the shadows of the frames #BritishMuseum #GreatCourt #GlassRoof #Tessellation #Sunlight

I made some rough recreations of some of the old BBC One globes. These were used from the late 60s to the early 90s. Is there one that evokes memories for you? #BBCOne #TVHistory #BBCGlobe #MotionDesign #Nostalgia

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

The ruins of Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk. It was a Cluniac priory originally founded in 1089. It’s on an impressive scale. The prior’s lodgings are one of the few parts still mostly complete. #CastleAcrePriory #MedievalHistory #Cluniac #Norfolk #EnglishHeritage

The last evening of my trip to Norfolk was another cloudy sunset at Hunstanton. No clear view, but some nice colours #Sunset #Hunstanton #Norfolk #Coast #Seascape

Castle Acre, a village in Norfolk named after the now ruined Norman castle. It was extended through the medieval period and was host to kings. Historic England describes the huge earthworks to be among the finest surviving in England #CastleAcre #Norfolk #NormanCastle #EnglishHeritage #Medieval

The boat house at Old Thornham Harbour, Norfolk is a popular subject for photographers with an infinite combination of sky and tidal waters. On this trip it was lovely to see the pink sea lavender in bloom in the blazing summer sun #ThornhamHarbour #Boathouse #NorfolkCoast #Summer #SeaLavender

On an evening where there was too cloudy to get a Hunstanton sunset there was at least some interesting cloud shapes behind the lighthouse #OldHunstantonLighthouse #Clouds #Evening #NorfolkCoast #Lighthouse

The wreck of the steam trawler Sheraton. Launched in 1907, wrecked on Hunstanton beach in 1947, it was a boom defense vessel between 1915 and 1918, a gunned patrol boat in WWII. It was later used for target practice before being wrecked #Sheraton #HunstatonBeach #Shipwreck #NorfolkCoast #Beach

A walk along Old Hunstanton beach, with the striking colours of the cliffs, created by Cretaceous layers of sandstone and red and white chalk #OldHunstanton #RedRock #NorfolkCoast #Cretaceous #Beach

West Kennet Avenue is a 2.5km prehistoric route lined by pairs of standing stones linking the Neolithic sites of Avebury and The Sanctuary #WestKennetAvenue #Prehistoric #StandingStones #Neolithic #Wiltshire

The village of Lacock is a beautiful collection of historic buildings, it’s been used for filming many productions including: Pride and Prejudice, the Harry Potter films, Cranford, Wolf Hall and Downton Abbey #Lacock #HistoricVillage #FilmingLocation #DowntonAbbey #HarryPotter @nationaltrust

At one time owned by William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer of photography. The lattice window is the subject of the earliest known surviving negative. Also the cloisters were used for filming Hogwarts scenes #LacockAbbey #PhotographicHistory #FoxTalbot #LatticeWindow #HarryPotter @nationaltrust

The World’s largest megalithic stone circle as part of three stone circles. The really amazing thing about Avebury is the juxtaposition of the standing stones with village buildings #Avebury #StoneCircle #NeolithicHenge #WorldHeritageSite #Wiltshire @nationaltrust

Avebury Manor and gardens, Wiltshire. With amazing hand painted wallpaper from China in the dining room #AveburyManor #NationalTrust #Wiltshire #CountryHouse

Stonehenge. Visited a few days before the Solstice, lots of visitors. Hidden the people from these photos with a combination of camera angles and remove tools in Lightroom #Stonehenge #AncientBritain #SalisburyPlain #StoneCircle #Prehistoric

Wayland’s Smithy, Oxfordshire. An early Neolithic barrow with a long history of myth and ritual #WaylandsSmithy #AncientBritain #Prehistoric #Oxfordshire #LongBarrow

Recent visit to Uffington Hill. The Iron Age hillfort of Uffington Castle, an awkward angle of the White Horse and the Giant’s Stair terraces. And a colourful painted lady butterfly resting on the path #UffingtonWhiteHorse #UffingtonCastle #AncientBritain #PaintedLadyButterfly #Oxfordshire

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Very pleased to see two of my pictures being displayed for NT Anglesey Abbey’s 60th anniversary! #AngleseyAbbey #NationalTrust #60thAnniversary #CommonBlueButterfly #AutumnTrees @AngleseyAbbeyNT

An evening in Glencoe. Timelapse watching the clouds zoom overhead looking down the glen #Glencoe #Highlands #Timelapse #Clouds #LandscapePhotography

My final adventure for the bank holiday weekend was a visit to Flamborough Head. Def felt a bit dizzy peering down from the crumbling cliff tops, but amazing views #FlamboroughHead #SeaCliffs #Seals #Kittiwakes #SeaStack

Bank holiday Monday’s first visit was Thornwick Bay on the Yorkshire coast. Which got very busy with sunbathers (inc on top of the pillbox!) and paddle boarders #ThornwickBay #Puffin #ClearBlueSea #Pillbox #SunnyBankHoliday

Our visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs on Sunday wasn’t just about seabirds #CommonWhitethroat #GreatCrestedNewt #TreeSparrows (dust bathing) #PuffinsAndGuillemots #RSPBBemptonCliffs

A visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs for the Saturday heatwave #BemptonCliffs #Kittiwake #Gannet #Guillemot #Seabirds

The area around the Blackrock cottage on Rannoch Moor had some interesting pool formations. Made by peat extraction maybe? #DronePhotography #Glencoe #RannochMoor #UplandLandscape #Pools

Last bit of Glencoe landscape photography on my way out on Saturday. Various views of Buachaille Etive Mòr from different points along the River Etive #BuachailleEtiveMor #RiverEtive #LandscapePhotography #Glencoe #Highlands

The area around Loch Etive last week had some amazing swathes of flowering gorse #DronePhotography #Gorse #LochEtive #GlenEtive Highlands

Drone photography from a relatively dry day on Friday. A couple of views of Castle Stalker, river gorge in Glen Etive and Loch Achtriochtan in Glen Coe #AerialPhotography #Highlands #CastleStalker #GlenEtive #GlenCoe

Achnambeithach Cottage and waterfalls around Loch Achtriochtan or Loch Trychardan in Glen Coe #AchnambeithachCottage #LochAtriochtan #GlenCoe #EpicLandscape #Highlands

Castle Stalker. A medieval tower house you might recognise from being filmed for several things including its role as Castle Aargh! from Monty Python and the Holy Grail #CastleStalker #Medieval #TowerHouse #Highlands #MontyPython

Nigel Farage really is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has. Is it any wonder he won’t want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives. LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS

A small break in the rain allowed a wander around the shore of Loch Etive with some interesting rocks and trees #LochEtive #Highlands #Shoreline #Trees #LandscapePhotography

Last evening the weirdest thing happened. The sun came out! Today has made up for it. This spot is the Lagangarbh hut, a well known spot around Glencoe #LagangarbhHut #WeeWhiteCottage #Glencoe #LandscapePhotography #SunshineOnARainyDay
