Lovely to find Issy, the Official Library Cat of Lady Margaret Hall College in Oxford, out for a walk to Lincoln College on Saturday. He's a Siberian Forest cat.

Contrasting emotions at the Westgate Centre last week. Getting the angle right was tricky: we need to see the faces of both men for this to work.

The Bodleian Library's steps are also a place to relax, decompress and gossip!

Last week's #52frames theme was "From Above". After a wet, windy and generally dreary five days, I was able to make a drone flight and capture this on Saturday morning, This is Great Haseley Windmill, restored a few years ago. I love the long shadow from the early morning sun.

The #52frames theme last week was "Rule of thirds".

B&W version is also pretty good, I think.

Cannot. Ignore. Beautiful. Light. At the Bodleian Library last week.

One thing I like about this time of year is the sun is lower in the sky and less intense.

Last week's #52frames theme was "Fill the frame", which I did with this busker on Cornmarket Street in Oxford.

Happy Christmas!

This image was taken 3 years ago in Yellowstone National Park, but I was never happy with the way I processed it. I gave it to some other RPS Landscape photographers to see what they could do with it... and they got me unstuck.

The #52frames theme last week was Nature. Oxford's Port Meadow is full of it, including the ponies you see here, shot just after sunset down at grazing level.

A typical day on Westminster Bridge last week, taken for the #52frames "Shoot from the hip" challenge. The second image of the two friends was way more popular than the rickshaw driver, which is my favourite.

The Gothic Temple reflected in the lake at Stowe a few weeks ago, when colour was just arriving. Fun fact: you can book a stay at the Temple.

One more Dartmoor shot, if only because this looks like something out of a Lord of the Rings movie. This was taken in about 60 minutes of sunlight at the end of what had been a relentlessly rainy day.
