A snap of the west sands at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland this morning. Still windy after Storm Darragh but a beautiful winter's day.

Edda (Iceland 2018)

Taken during one of my first two trips to Iceland. Hardly anyone ever speaks of the snow covered peaks and light conditions of that place.

Liquid fire unfolds,
A landscape of searing light,
Earth’s eternal forge.
A striking nighttime view of Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii, its fiery heart glowing with immense power and radiance. At the center of the scene is the volcano’s caldera, where molten lava churns and glows in intense hues of orange, yellow, and gold. The light is so vivid that it illuminates the surrounding crater walls, casting them in deep shades of red and warm amber. The volcanic rock is rugged and uneven, its textures emphasized by the play of light and shadow. Wisps of steam rise from the caldera’s edges, swirling softly into the night sky, creating a hazy, ethereal effect that softens the stark outlines of the crater. Above the caldera, the night sky glows with fiery gradients, transitioning from a searing orange near the eruption to softer pinks and purples that blend into the darkness. The horizon blurs where the glowing crater meets the surrounding landscape, emphasizing the overwhelming intensity of the volcanic activity. The bright colors of the lava contrast sharply with the surrounding dark terrain, where layers of black volcanic rock stretch outward, their jagged shapes barely visible in the shadows. In the foreground, the dense silhouettes of a Hawaiian forest frame the scene. The trees are dark and textured, their outlines softened by the glow of the caldera. The forest provides a grounding element, emphasizing the scale and raw power of the eruption. The entire scene feels alive, the motion of the lava and the rising steam adding a dynamic energy that contrasts with the stillness of the surrounding night. Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, a living testament to the ever-changing nature of Earth. In Hawaiian culture, it is revered as the home of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. This eruption is not only a geological event but a spiritual and cultural phenomenon, symbolizing creation, destruction, and renewal.

An ICM image of sea waves off the east coast of Scotland. I was aiming to make the waves disappear into the horizon. 🌊

A simple photo of some gentle sea waves disappearing into the distance. Intentional camera movement has been used to give the image a gentle calm look.

Long exposure shot of the majestic Rattray Head Lighthouse in Scotland. Originally established in 1895. I love the colours of the sea, in sharp contrast to the yellow of the sand.

A white Lighthouse stands on a strong granite base. The sea is blue and turquoise with white waves on the shore. A golden sand beach is in the foreground.

'Morning Glory'

This image was shot back in 2020. It’s still a personal favourite. Two years later it was commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year: Collection 15 Book.

A favourite location of mine too. Just 15 mins from home.

"Stranger at the Callanish Stones"

Lewis is a wonderful place.

Just after sunset I spotted a man in the distance looking at the stones and couldn't resist composing this shot.

A man in the distance stands silhouetted in between the upright forms of the Callanish Stones on Lewis. The sky is a deep blue and purple.

The still calmness of the Japanese Garden in Cowden, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The beautiful garden has been restored in recent years and is well worth a visit.
