Deep and Crisp on top
and even too. An early season dump on the roof and some pristine conditions with variable December light.. A short hike to the source of the Exe. Plenty of wildlife looking for opportunities to feed And some classic architectural trees coated in power Some timeless vistas with some nice light FUJI Film

In the shadow of Dunkery: Snowdrops.
February 19, 2023
The highest point on Exmoor (and Somerset) is an ideal winter wander. Dunkery. It’s either in cloud and mist and you cannot see the expected views of Bodmin or, it’s in cloud and mist and you ….. etc etc To the north is the ancient Horner Wood and dramatic vistas whatever the weather . And […]
At last of the Autumn kindling
February 19, 2023
So much went wrong with my plans to just wander around the planet and take photographs of nature to make people aware of what a wonderful planet we are privileged to live on, and make a million pounds (Rodney) on the way. But. I think I’ve finally managed to get on top of things and […]
South West Coastpath
January 12, 2023
Photographer of the year competition is due to close on 31st January 2023 at midnight. (Personally, I think that it should be called the SWCP Photograph of the year as they are not looking for a portfolio of images, just that one banging shot but hay ho). There is also a prize for the Young […]

Cooling down on the East river
July 17, 2022
Here’s a few abstracts and mood shots from this mornings bimble along the East Lyn. Even by summer standards, there’s not a lot of water in the old girl but the deep pools are still there and plenty of locals were cooling off in them. It’s prime fishing season too on this ‘catch & release’ […]
Bimble around Toms Hill
July 4, 2022
No one knows who Tom was, not even Sarah & Jack. The word could even have morphed from thumb to tom, as that is what this, big, flat top hill looks like. However, during my research I came across this astounding photo of the farmhouse that once stood atop the hill, and the amazing story […]
