The stunning drive along the Sea to Sky highway (Highway 99) from Whistler down to Vancouver. Too much scenery to just drive the road, multiple stops required to enjoy the sights and take pictures.
On this particular day I met up with my good friend Philip to take some autumn photography in the Peak District. Whilst I did take some photographs of silver birch trees in the woodland, this shot was probably my favourite of the day.
It reminds me of a photo you’d see taken from Zion National Park; typically the colours and textures coming from the quarry walls. Small trees grow out of the earth through small cracks in the walls here, I really liked the shape of this one and the colours were really popping!
Close-up Nature Exploration
I began this small collection of photographs a while back and I hope to expand/explore much more when I can get my hands on a macro lens.
Whilst down on a weekend in Newquay, being able to sit on the decking and take in the sunshine with a nice cup of Cornish Coffee really was an opportunity to relax.
The SS Soldek, part of the National Maritime museum located opposite the old crane on the Motława river.
So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.
Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.
Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.
This photo was taken at Zion National Park. This area was definitely the highlight of our six thousand kilometer journey. This view down the valley was taken from the summit of Angel's Landing, providing stunning views of the canyon below. This park was undoubtedly a highlight of the 6000km trek my friends and I took through the states. There will be plenty more from this trip I'll be happy to show. through forests, mountains, desert storms and endless stretches of highways.
Walking around the old Jewish quarter in Kazimierz to see such street art is amazing. Given the atrocities suffered at the hands of the Nazi's in WW2 it shows the tenacity in the mood of the city.
The Red Panda was being particularly illusive when I was trying to photograph it....then when I could it stuck its damn tongue out! The cheek of it!
The “Arbeit Macht Frei” or "Work Shall Set You Free” gate stands at the entrance of Auschwitz I. This was the first lie told to the prisoners of Auschwitz on arrival. Walking under this felt eerie and somewhat uncomfortable knowing how many people had done so for their first and last time just 75 years ago.
Some of the bunks prisoners were forced to stay in whilst awaiting a rather bias trial at the hands of the SS.
One of the most visited lighthouses in Nova Scotia. In the morning, when no one is around, this is an absolutely magical place.
One of the twin fountains in the Piazza Farnese. This one had some retro bicycles which made it all the better...
Lovely #LotusMahal - Recreational arena for royal ladies of #Vijaynagara #empire
Symmetrically structured & deftly designed to resemble an open #Lotus #bud, it is incorporated with an exclusive cooling system that made sweltering summers pleasant
Among the few lucky structures unscathed by enemy attacks was also called Kamal Mahal or Chitragani Mahal
Whilst photographing Luka on his rock all of a sudden he propped his head up and to the side as if he had heard someone say "food" or something he didn't agree with!
After 10 or so attempts at seeing the Amur Leopard Cubs at Colchester Zoo we happened to be in the right place at the right time. After 30 minutes of standing around Luka emerged perched on a rock staring directly at me. Not quite as small as I had of hoped they still were but beautiful to photoshoot none the less
Neptune's fountain looking up to the Old Town Hall in Dlugi Targ Square on a very cold evening in Gdansk.
The double electric fences between parts of Auschwitz. For some a reminder of their daily horror, and for others a last resort.
