I completely agree Howell. Sadly there was nothing in the water to give the mountains a sense of scale but it was certainly impressive all the same. Senja certainly impressed me 😁

This was my very first morning from the viewing platform at Bergsbotn, Senja, Norway and what a spectacular view it was, especially with a glorious sunrise

Well I genuinely appreciate your efforts in tracking me down. I'd love to paint but my minor skillset lies behind a camera, lol. All the best for Christmas Simon 😊

One of my greatest joys when running photo tours in Hokkaido has come from photographing the wildlife and these gorgeous Ezo Red Foxes

My next Hokkaido photo tour starts in Jan 2026 should anyone be interested in joining my tour guide Francis Ansing

I have never professed to being a wildlife photographer, let alone a particularly good one but having spent an hour on a sea eagle tour boat in Hokkaido, I completely understand some peoples obsession in photographing wildlife.

Misty Morning, Wanaka, New Zealand

This is perhaps my most favourite image that I have seen of this iconic tree at Wanaka in New Zealand. Okay I may be biased having taken the shot back in 2018 but I still believe that.

In August, I decided to venture 'up north' to Scotland for a week or so with a couple of nights on Mull, then over to the Fife coastline including St Monans Pier.

Moonlight Over Ashness Pier, Lake District

WOW, WOW, WOW

I have photographed this wonderful location since February 2007 and back in January 2022, I captured this image of the falling moon that was directly and centrally positioned over the pier. It was a breathtaking moment I can tell you.
