From the recent walk from Mardale Head to Small Water, a long exposure shot of one of many cascades over rocks as the stream flows from Small Water down to Haweswater Reservoir – heaven if you like that sort of thing! And there is probably some more if you walk from Mardale Head up towards…
On a recent and all to brief visit to the Lake District, I took this six shot, handheld panorama from the edge of Bassenthwaite Lake a short distance from Keswick – I had come from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, having got our daughter settled in her accommodation at the University and stopped off near Steel Rigg on Hadrians…
These are shadows cast by umbrellas suspended above the High Street in Durham – the sign said ‘to brighten up our cloudy days’, though it was decidedly sunny last Saturday when we visited the city for the University Open Day. While I did take pictures of the brightly coloured umbrellas, I rather liked this different…
Here is a view of the Royal Albert Bridge spanning the Tamar River between Saltash in Cornwall and Plymouth in Devon – designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, work was started in 1854 and opened by Prince Albert in 1859 – Brunel died later that year and his name was then placed above the portals at either…
Here is Britannia class locomotive 70013 “Oliver Cromwell”, at speed, pulling the Cotswold Venturer service on the North Cotswolds Line from London Paddington to Worcester via Oxford – taken from a farm bridge between Bruen Crossing and Kingham in West Oxfordshire station this morning – the weather was rather drab (cold, wet and a little blowy),…

A rather snowy view on the way up the Worcestershire Beacon above Great Malvern earlier today – at low levels, very little settled snow, but up here there was 2cm or so. Quite a steep climb out of Malvern – takes around 30 minutes to get from the town to the summit – a little…
The Age of Steam…revisited…this is a photograph taken yesterday at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR). The GWSR had a steam festival weekend, though we didn’t go to that. We saw a couple of trains from a bridge and again here, after walking the dog up Nottingham Hill, at Gotherington Halt – the line runs from…
Vanishing point…in so many ways! Artistically, we have converging lines from the track, bridge and railings meeting at the vanishing point at the base of the trees in the distance; Historically, this the track bed for a long dismantled railway – here it is fairly clear, but elsewhere it is vanishing – quite overgrown and being…
