Really enjoyed my Christmas getaway to Durham. It was so badly needed. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄 #northeast #england #boxingday #photography
A calm winter river curves through bare trees, with soft reflections on the water. In the distance, Durham Cathedral’s tall stone tower rises above the wooded riverbanks beneath a partly cloudy sky, with pale sunlight filtering through branches on the right.

Wish I’d been able to get closer, but a peaceful scene nonetheless #photography #birds #nature #winter

Spent Christmas Day in Durham, so good to get away from Dundee. Went on a lovely river walk this morning with my new #lumix taking some swans and other creatures #photography #naturephotography

Not had the best couple of months, but decided to start taking photos again. Photography has been on pause for a couple of years, trying to find it again #dundee #scotland #photography

Spent a great day at Beamish Open Air Museum in County Durham. Love it there. Takes you back to simpler times #livingmuseum #travel #england #vacation #photography
An old fashioned British street with cobblestones and tram lines. Terraced houses on the left and a red brick bank building in the distance past the tram pole. The photo is dotted with visitors

Always love visiting Newcastle in England. Such a wonderful and friendly city. Could see myself making a move down here one day #citybreak #travel #unitedkingdom

I’m new to lumix cameras. If I have old lenses for a Nikon, can I get an adaptor or will I need to buy new lenses? #photography

Before work or during breakfast, I’ll go through series of 90s shows as background. Everybody Loves Raymond has been completed, now Frasier, season 1 episode 1. My little comforting way to start the day ☀️ #mindful
