I don’t know what she’s seen, she was investigating the snowdrops a minute ago – but there’s definitely something.
I’ve used that heading for this same place before but this time it’s definitely winter and there isn’t very much sun – just 50mph wind and rain to go with it. So watching the weather forecast and taking my chances with a break in the cloud is the only option; and just occasionally I get […]
Mid-December and surf’s up in Scarborough. The air temperature is zero degrees but the water is a balmy 9.5 – swimming makes sense then. There are plenty of wetsuit-clad Yorkshire folk bobbing around on surf boards, waiting for the perfect (any) wave and some hardy paddle boarders – but she’s the only pup in the […]
There’s a lot to be said for sitting around in bars and cafes – there’s a drink and something to eat in front of you and you are out of the cold (or out of the heat in this instance) – and when my camera comes out I’m invisible, or at least tolerated. Most importantly, […]
Chicago, whether your interest is jazz or the blues, football (the sort that takes three hours for sixty minutes of play), baseball, small independent craft breweries, the shopping, the restaurants & bars or hanging out by the lake shore – apparently there are even museums and art galleries; the evocative and defining thing about Chicago […]
I’d been watching this field as the wheat grew, there’s a good picture here, the dog peering out above the growing, gently waving crop. But in the harsh dry summer they have harvested early – climate change I guess.
It’s pretty difficult to spend time in Lisbon and not notice the trams, there are sleek modern ones now but Line 28 takes all the attention – inaugurated in 1914 and still running vintage trams from the 1930s. There is method in this, the route climbs the city’s hills through narrow streets and the oldies […]
After days walking in the Picos de Europa, a night out in Leon – beer and tapas – was very welcome. Leon is a small and little known city but boasts stunning historical architecture, as well as its energetic night time scene.
A row of beach huts like this makes a great photo frame; but working with a hyper-active young dog, that would much prefer to be digging in the sand, makes life a challenge – especially when the photographer is working with not only a manual focus lens but also razor-thin depth of field. Patience is […]
Well it’s a gently breezy day today, very nice for a stroll through the woodland snow drops – but it wasn’t on Friday; the full force of the storm let loose. It looks as if this old tree might not have been so healthy but it’s not the only one to be cut down in […]
