Evanescent

17th August 2020 In Somewhere Else

To us a lifetime is forever. But, in the grand scheme of things our existence is evanescent. The soul, energy or form though, is perpetual. Nothing really disappears, it just...

Poetry in Motion

11th August 2020 In Somewhere Else

There is something poetic in the converging of forces and light. Without the light there can not be dark, and vice versa. If we have neither, there is nothing. I love the abstract...

Silence, Loch Loyne

28th July 2020 In Scottish Lochs

At dawn, looking across Loch Loyne the scene was peaceful. The low light meant that the auto ISO on my G7X was quite high. However, the noise adds to the mood of the shot....

A Boat at Clovelly

14th July 2020 In Clovelly

A boat gently sways in the calm, low tide at Clovelly. Clovelly is beautiful place that I love to visit at any time. On a cold wet day as the as the evening draws in it is incredibly...

A Passing Storm

30th June 2020 In Devon

7th June 2020 In Devon

You can tell when it is stormy out at sea. The seagulls often head inland en masse, beyond the numbers that frequent coastal towns. On this October morning I was driving through...

Distant Light

5th June 2020 In Devon Lundy Island

The change of weather has brought some stormy weather to the UK, a stark contrast to the early summer weather. Standing on the shore the world looks dark, bleak, and empty....

Headlights in the Fog

13th May 2020 In Exmoor

As the winter’s evening draws in on Exmoor, there is silence and thick fog as I make my way back to the car. In the distance I hear another car before seeing the headlights...

A Storm on the Horizon

11th May 2020 In Westward Ho!

Looking out to sea from the North Devon coastline, the water is calm. However, in the distance there is a storm on the horizon. I like how the horizon is really dark, signifying...

Last Light

10th May 2020 In Dartmoor

I was walking back to my car as darkness began to envelope Dartmoor National Park when I took this photo. If I am walking back to my car in the dark, it normally means that...
