Beautiful ancient oaks at Brocton Coppice, Cannock Chase Forest. Planted for King Henry VIII to hunt deer.... now making patterns in the sky.

I've been trying different developers. And also trying to find a way to like or 'get' Fomapan in general.

 

I had a pack of Foma Retro Special developer and decided to just go for it. I think I like it better than anything I've used for Foma/Arista.

This unusual chunk of dense ancient ice in Hidden Bay, Graham Land, Antarctica, is the remaining bottom of an iceberg which flipped over.

Castelnuovo Val di Cecina is a small village of the Metalliferous Hills, located on the furthest reaches of the Maremma open to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island of Elba. The origins are uncertain, but certainly go back at the age Lombard (VII sec.), When this people drew up new avenues for research of mineral building a series of fortresses sighting and defense along the path that wound from Volterra Massa Marittima.

Ancient Witnesses

As the stars rise, the stone remains — quiet, enduring, timeless.

These formations have watched the passage of millennia in silence, bearing witness to the slow arc of the cosmos above. I often wonder what stories they’d tell if they could speak — stories of fire, wind, and water… of creatures long gone… and now, of a lone photographer beneath their gaze.

 

Captured under a moonless sky, this is one of those nights where everything aligns — the air still, the Milky Way rising, and the sense that you’re standing in a place where time barely matters.

 

I return to these places not just to photograph them, but to feel something deeper — the connection between earth and sky, between the ancient and the now.

This probably is one of the most photographed trees in the world. Therefore, this is far from a unique composition, but some scenes are so epic that you just have to try your hand on them. I hope that my version does this ancient beauty justice!

I saw an interesting pattern of dry lakes on a satellite map. Since it cannot be seen from ground level I took to the air with a drone. The broad valley is the continuation of a system of salt lakes in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, an area that has seen large scale clearing of vegetation and replacement with crops. The Wheatbelt landscape of today is very flat and the ancient river valleys (palaeochannels) have become filled with sediment. Surface drainage into disconnected chains of salt lakes occurs, however they only link up and flow into one another during exceptionally wet years. The photo is a panorama stitched from 8 vertical files.

Milkyway rising above Arch Rock as the moon sets behind me. Home to unique rock formations and harsh desert lansdcape, Joshua tree is one of the ideal places to shoot the night sky, transporting you to ancient times away from the city buzz and light pollution.

Brussleton woods in Co Durham

Tintern

 

When the abbey was founded, I don’t expect the Cistercian monks could have ever imagined seeing this site. A 21st century aircraft flying above the ruins of the 12th century Tintern Abbey. 888 years later people are still enjoying the abbey on a daily basis, probably more so that the experience of getting through a modern day airport !!

 

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

There are a lot of Ancient common lands around Malvern.

When I first arrived here in the early 70's sheep grazed on it and if someone left the cattle grid gates open you could find a sheep mowing the lawn for you. Waking through it today T iwas full of orchids, grasses and wildflowers.

Common Land.

Historic unenclosed land that has changed little since medieval times.
