To usher in the first of the new series of Collections that we'll be releasing we're putting up for grabs two very limited edition prints. Both prints come from "Collection 01" and have a combined value of £190. Here is how the Collections work:
— Each Collection will contain a mixture of individual limited edition prints and at least one original artwork.
— Collections will be released regularly following the seasons of the year.
— All the editions in the Collection will only be available until the next collection is launched.
— The duration of each Collection is the only time you will be able to buy those editions.

Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let someone love you
Ohh, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me
Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied, but I say it's hip
To be alive
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to grin
All you've got to do is win
Tilcara, Argentina.
Just north of Salta and Jujuy (pronounced like Mr Burns saying hello on the telephone) is a small town called Tilcara in the Quebrada de Huhuamaca. A spectacular valley/canyon. I stayed here for 2 nights. I tried to get sunset the night before, but the clouds just weren't having it. The second night was a wee bit better. I sat perched on a steep rocky cliff for an hour waiting for some colour. And this was the best I got. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose.
Our hearts are heavy - our girl Win crossed the rainbow bridge this weekend. Even having arthritis and being deaf, she was such a great dog - so loving, playful, smart and protective. She is sorely missed, the house is too damn quiet. So many memories. Much loved - in our hearts forever and always.
Was supposed to go and visit with Flickr friend Dave up in North Yorkshire on the bike.. But cancelled due to the weather. Would be no fun on the motorway with alternating low sunshine, strong side winds, torrential rain with some hail chucked in too! So went out for an hour on Navi in the nearby countryside dodging most of the showers.!
Great scenery with the fast moving sky, sunny intervals, the odd rainbow and dark looming clouds..!
Picture taken here on New Road just up from Ladybower with Bamford Edge to the right, Win Hill in front and Bamford to the left..
North west of Bamford and sitting at the head of the Ladybower Reservoir Win Hill provides some of the best views in the Peak District.
The ascent from Hope, via Twitchill Farm, gives stunnig views across to Lose Hill and the Great Ridge
At 1,516 ft, it is almost surrounded by water. The River Derwent to the east, the River Noe to the south west and Ladybower Reservoir to the north. A ridge running north west links it to Kinder Scout and stops it from being an island.
On top of Win Hill lies Win Hill Pike, a small conical shaped crag that can be seen for miles around. Win Hill Pike has an Ordnance Survey triangulation point, or trig point on it's highest point.
With 472 ft of relative height, Win Hill is only 20 ft short of qualifying as a Marilyn. A Marilyn is a mountain or hill in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Isle of Man with a prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft), regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name was coined as a punning contrast to the designation Munro, used of a Scottish mountain with a height of more than 3,000 feet (914.4 m), which is homophonous with (Marilyn) Monroe.
