I couldn’t resist a quick photo exploration of Rydal Church, while out on my morning run earlier this week.

I’m busy reviewing my images from 2025 for my final article of the year, out tomorrow. So many happy memories from what has been a difficult year personally. Here are a few that I love but didn’t quite make the cut for tomorrow.

While trawling back through my photography catalogue from this year, trying to identify my favourite shots, one thing became apparent. I’ve had a real thing for photographing chairs in 2025 🙄😂

This was from my first trip to London with my camera, as I explored the Tate Modern on the South Bank. I thought I’d captured something really special, only to discover it’s what everyone takes when they go there, so not that special after all 😂

Something a little different from me this morning. Maybe it was the wine that pushed me this way 🍷😜

Have a great week all!

Just checked to see what I was doing this time last year and what a surprise, I was mooching around The Fens photographing random stuff 😂📸

Have a great weekend folks!

Had a wander around Eye, Suffolk on Sunday with our youngest. Initially to see the ruined castle but the light was so good, it created some wonderful compositions in the village too.

This one takes us back a few years to the point I realised there was more to #photography than big vistas and mountain views. A few trips to London with my camera opened my eyes to the photographic potential of urban environments and I’ve never looked back.

More nocturnal 📸 running adventures last night. I think I may be becoming a little obsessed 🤔😂

Throwback Tuesday: This week we head to the Highlands of Scotland, the summer of 2023 and this old tractor. I just loved the combination of colours and, if I’m honest, it brought back happy memories of my youth, working on the farm during harvest 😁

Just a simple one today. A lone tree, standing tall, in The Fens.

Throwback Tuesday. This time a sunrise shot taken on my iPhone back in 2017, during a morning run on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Like them or loath them, these beauties are here to stay and I guess are emblematic of my photographic muse, the human landscape. This one in particular caught my attention earlier this week. It had a real Orwellian feel to it, like it was standing there watching me 😳
