  • Great Langdale, Lake District, England photo

    One of the most spectacular parts of England’s Lake District is the Langdale Pikes, or Great Langdale, west of Ambleside not far from a little village called Elterwater where I lived for a couple of months working, walking and taking photos. This is both rugged and gentle country that is stunning. Hopefully you think so…

  • The ruins of Taos Pueblo, New Mexico photo

    The longest continuously inhabited place in the USA is Taos Pueblo. Someone has been living there for 1000 years and about 150 still call it home. Located about one km from the pretty little town of Taos it’s also a world heritage site and a national heritage landmark. The day we were there the weather was perfect and…

  • The Barber of Bikaner, India photo

    In Rajastan there is small town (if any town in India could be considered small) called Bikaner. Its main claim to fame is its many deserted and decaying Havelis (private mansions) that reflect a bygone age of some posterity. They were closed in from the rest of the town and had many a beautiful frescoes. I did…

  • Vines of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

    Despite the horrendous heat we have here at present, I’m fed up with drinking Chardonnays, Sauv Blancs, and any other white wine. I long for a pinot and hopefully in the next day or so I’ll be able to crack one open. Being a wine ‘enthusiast’ a visit to one of the holy grails of pinot, the Williamette…

  • Gnarabar beach near Margaret river photo

    Merry Xmas to all you out there! I hope to bring you some different images and info next year. For all of you in the snowy and cold parts of the northern hemisphere I’ll be somewhere like this on xmas day morning (and as its going to 38C (100F) for the next 7 days) probably…

  • North Western fells of the English Lake District photo

    Another image of the beautiful English Lake District, giving the appearance of an imposing mountain chain. These hills would be no more than 700m high! 1/50 f14 60mm ISO100 To buy a print of this photo go to the North Western Fells Lake District photo To licence this photo email or contact us

  • Mulatto of Havana photo

    In Havana’s several tourist spots there are these beautiful women in colourful dresses parading on the streets and the leafy squares. Whilst the term Mulatto means mixed race it has also been borrowed to describe these women who approach tourists for ‘picture money”. You pay for the privilege of taking a photo of her with or without…

  • Causey Pike in the Lake District England photo

    As a regular visitor to England I’ve accumulated many photos of one of England’s gems, the Lake District in the North West. It’s like a mini Switzerland without the ruggedness and snow caps (although there is sometimes snow in winter). The tallest mountain, if you could call it is less than 1000 metres. As for…

  • Don Pedro reservoir near Yosemite NP California photo

    On the the Golden Chain highway that sort of runs from Sacramento south to Yosemite is an area of lakes and reservoirs. This particular patch of water is part of the very large Don Pedro reservoir that snakes close to the road so we were able to get a close look at it. As it was…

  • Another Half Dome Mountain in the famous Yosemite NP photo

    Based on the last Half Dome photo I posted it looks like this is a pretty popular national park. I enjoyed every minute of being there. I took this one from a lookout near Glacier Point Road after a bit of hike around there. I thought I’d start sharing some of the techniques I use.…

  • View of eroded rock from Zabriskie Point Death Valley NP California photo

    The infamous Zabriskie Point, more famously known as a movie is actually a lookout over an interesting landscape of yellow, brown and black rock formations called Badlands. Death valley itself straddles California and Nevada and as its name suggests is hot, dry, dusty and surprisingly the biggest national park in the lower 48 states of the US. But probably not…

  • Gran Pyramid Uxmal, near Merida, Mexico photo

    The Yucatan peninisula is home to some of the worlds greatest pyramids. Chichen Itza is the most famous but this one at Uxmal near Merida is, in my humble opinion, just as gob smacking and without the tourists. There are many other ruins but the Gran Pyramid is the show stopper. Despite it being the middle of…

  • Half Dome Mountain in Yosemite National Park

    You may have noticed that i have been posting twice a week for a while now, except for last week when I forgot! Things just got away from me and next thing you know I’ve missed it. This is my take on the famous granite Half Dome mountain in Yosemite. It rises nearly 1500m  from…

  • Old Cuban band in a Havana square

    The run down Havana oozes character and music. Just about everywhere you go there’s someone playing music mostly what’s called son, made popular worldwide by Buena Vista Social club. There was a band in every restaurant, every club, every bar and on on almost every street corner including these old guys in the the Catedral de la Habana…

  • Native Indian dancing at San Miguel Allende

    For anyone looking to visit Mexico but is a bit unnerved by the bad press Mexico gets these days, they should go to San Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato. Located 274 km form Mexico city, it’s as western as it gets with its large population of foreign retirees, artists and writers, most of whom…
