...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Posts and photosets exploring the environment and terrain, mostly (though not exclusively) in more wilderness and rural settings, as distinct from the more gritty explorations of people and space inherent in Urban Photography
Reading Time: 2 minutes A quick visit to Chatsworth House, for family business, I grabed the chance for a few quick photos of the gardens, still looking quite green for this late in the year. And a few in the greenhouse. This year has been characterised a little by …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Further to the eventual aim of walking all the Yorkshire Canals, we set of on another canal walk, this time with the Aim of Dewsbury to (at least) Mirfield. As I have said before, though there are some reasonably interesting Industrial buildings, Dewsbury is not …
Reading Time: 4 minutes One of the main inspirations for my photography is mans interaction with the environment – landscapes, but landscapes showing the fight between permanence and ephemerality of man’s impact on the earth. I love the way in which structures both scar the landscape, yet also decay, …
Reading Time: 3 minutes So after taking the train loving children to see Flying Scotsman earlier in the week we have been back to the Worth Valley to have a walk along the trand and (for me) to try and get some decent Scotsman photos. The route took us …

Reading Time: 3 minutes For a while, doubtless because Gordon does in one of the Thomas stories, my son has been asking to go to London. Of course the price of travel nowadays kind of precludes this as a random trip but needing to go down to Cambridge for …
Reading Time: 4 minutes My aim on this walk was to join the canal at the end of Thornes Lane Wharfe, and so complete the Wakefield end of the Calder Hebble Navigation, but this appearded to have been cut off, I guess due to damage to the tow path. …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Just a quick one. We have some pretty impressive flooding going on in Meanwood at the moment. I have braved the rain to get these shots.
