Travels 2018
Category: Landscape
Washington 2017
After extensive updates to her garden at the Old Vicarage, in Washington, West Sussex, I was asked by Lady Walters to take some new photos for her brochure. This is a selection of the delivered images. […]
Spain 2016
In the summer took a couple of weeks to travel around the Pre-Pyrenees, then on to the Mediterranean coast. I had a weekend off in Madrid to see the wonders of the Prado again, and to revisit my favourite bar and barman. Don’t bother with the inside of the Guggenheim in Bilbao – the best […]
Madrid 2015
Madrid is quite beautiful. Fairly compact too, although I did average 15km per day walking (much like I did in Paris, despite the excellent metro system!). The Prado is quite rightly considered one of the best galleries in Europe and the Thyssen-Bornemisza is amazing too. The Reina Sofía less so – imho, about 95% of […]
Madrid 2015 – Toledo and Segovia
Toledo is very pretty, famed for its sharp things, Cardinal Ximénez (Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros) of the Inquisition (later immortalised by Monty Python) and El Greco. Segovia has a massive Roman aqueduct running through the middle and is crowned by the Alcázar, apparently the inspiration for the Disney Cinderella castle. Both are UNESCO World Heritage […]
Isle of Man 2013 – Peel
Another of my trips to the foggy isle, this time in summer, with my sisters for a family get-together. I reckon the sunsets in Peel are some of the greatest in the British Isles. […]
Isle of Man 2013 – Elsewhere
Managed to leave Peel on this trip! I was acting as tour guide for my sisters, so a lap of the TT mountain course was in order, although it was ever-so-slightly frustrating going along the Mountain Mile at 40mph… Manx Loaghtan sheep are my favourite breed of sheep, (with the Herdwick a close second). They […]
Isle of Man 2012 – Peel
In recent years, I’ve been making biannual trips to the Isle of Man to visit my brother and niblings. When I’m not trying to keep up with the heavy drinking I try to shoot a few frames, even if it’s just around Peel. It’s a proper gem that people in the UK don’t realise is […]
New Forest 2011 – Landscape
I had to get up at 4am to get the photo of dawn over Lulworth Cove, but I think it was worth it. It also meant I could get to Monkey World before the shaved monkeys arrived with their spawn. […]
Pre 2011 – Landscape
Landscape shots when I was young and naïve and easily impressed by over processing stuff. The London one is ok though – just opened the curtains in my hotel room and there it was. Pollution can do pretty things to light! […]
