Ah! Should have figured it was Paul who did the handmade. Shoutout @paulgotts.bsky.social

I have so many photo books it now takes something a bit special for me to buy another. But my handmade copy of Sea by @andrewatkinson.bsky.social turned up this week. Absolutely stunning work - both the photographs and the handmade itself. Huge thanks Andrew.

Yes! From high up on the west side

Bobbed up to the Snake Summit to try to catch you as you passed . Didn’t hang around. Just * Horrendous* conditions !!! Lots of snow, strong vicious icy wind and horizontal sleet. You’re all completely mad. If you make it to Torside it’s heroic, yet alone Kirk Yetholm !

Best of luck Anson - hope the storm doesn’t mess things up 🤞

Best of luck Anson!

Best of luck with the move (and endless unboxing!)

Right… that’s also going on the list 😁

Right. That’s going on the Christmas list 👍

Wonderful, evocative blog to end your time there. Very best of wishes for your next adventures - hoping you’ll find them just as captivating and rewarding ! All the very best!

Ripples and rivulets in an inland estuary in south-east Iceland. The colours are muted pale brown and greys.

These are some of the most beautiful patterns in nature that I think I've ever seen!

What a day, you lucky people 😁

An old iPhone snap of an extraordinary landscape. Includes erratics 😁

Terrific image - love the flow on the water and the colours on the boulders .

Really great to catch up yesterday … v pleased we happened to pass when you were in 😄. Best of luck with your future adventures and hopefully see you again before too long!

Spate in a highland river.
Taken 12 hours apart… it doesn’t matter how many times you witness it, it’s amazing how rapidly they respond to heavy rain.

Particularly love that first one Rob 👍

A distant, soggy Ardnamurchan

Just heard Kieran Metcalfe passed away, at a ridiculously young age. Difficult to process. Fabulous photographer, wonderful man. Thoughts with his family.

A cartoon for the mathematically-minded lovers of flatlands, a particular Venn diagram in itself.

Liverpool, Mersey and Wirral at night from 15,000 ft or so.

That crazy race 😂. If you need accommodation night before the start (13th June?) we’re 30 mins from Edale.

Nature reclaiming quarries and industrial sites is one of my preoccupations. Great image by Alan

Some grey eroded smooth basalt column tops on a beach, with neat lines of pebbles squeezed into the gaps between them (by the force of waves during high tides). The pebbles are wedged in tightly, but each time I visit some of the pebbles are different - they get swapped out.

Each time I come to this area I'm compelled to visit this particular spot. The pebbles in the gaps between the eroded basalt columns are just so incredible to me - so neat! The access road is closed so it involved a longer walk to get there, but worth the effort :)

Here is an image from the Isle of Arran. I love the rock formation.

It’s in my charity photobook raising money for Dementia UK

Bless you Rob, that’s very generous !

‘It takes 25 years for a footprint to disappear’ – the secret, beguiling magic of Britain’s bogs They are the air-conditioning units of the world – filtering water, preventing flooding, preserving history and providing habitat. Our human ancestors knew the extraordinary power of peatlands, so why...
