Partial Eclipse (2011)

  This photograph is of the last partial eclipse (2011) that was (just!) visible from the UK – this was taken from Farringdon Folly, West Oxfordshire (after I had spent a few minutes driving around trying to find somewhere suitable to get a decent chance of getting a clear shot) – fortunately, the clouds did break…

Paxos Sunrise

This is a photograph of a Paxos sunrise back in 2012 – the view is looking east across the Ionian Sea towards mountains on mainland Greece from Villa Noema (booked through James Villas) on the Island of Paxos.  Taken early in the morning (EXIF shows 04:00…but I think its was more like 06:00)…early for a…

Canada Water

This is a photograph taken at Canada Water – this view shows the striking Canada Water Library (inverted prism…well, sort of!)) along with the Shard in the background.  The picture was taken on a lunchtime trip to Canada Water on my way back to the Jubilee line station (underneath and behind the library) having been…

The Orca

This is a picture of The Orca – she is moored on the banks of the River Thames near St.John’s Lock, between Buscot and Lechlade in the Gloucestershire countryside – I think this just counts as the Cotwolds (especially as she is moored on the north bank of the river!) I took this photograph on Saturday…

Thames Barrier

  The Thames Barrier – revisited!  This time from the south side of the River Thames and with a Thames Clipper travelling from Woolwich towards the O2/Millennium Dome, and the City of London – I like the contrast between the static barrier and buildings with the movement of the boat. I had stayed the previous night…

Bermondsey…in reflection

  Bermondsey…in reflection of the glass that protects passengers from the track – taken at Bermondsey Underground Station on the Jubilee Line, London. This photograph was taken while waiting for the a train to take me back to Canary Wharf after a walk from Canada Water up to the Thames path – I liked the reflections…

Silhouetted Frosted Cow Parsley

Frosted Cow Parsley

A photograph of some silhouetted frosted cow parsley taken near the River Evenlode near Shipton-under-Wychwood in the Cotswolds, UK – this was a short walk from home on a bright, but chilly, morning after a very cold night (well, cold for us – around -5ºC) between Christmas and New Year 2014. Taken ‘contre-jour’, I wasn’t sure quite…
