We spent a morning trying to find a waterfall, but without any joy, so made other plans. At the end of the very full day we were tired and just wanted to head back to our holiday home, but spotted a sign on the way back which featured the word waterfall. We stopped and did a bit of research, and realising it was only 10 mins walk from the nearest car park, we headed out to find it. We were not disappointed. Even though we were in the middle of the second hottest summer on record (and so there was less water flowing) the waterfall was stunning. This was taken from behind the waterfall. Magical!

This was taken at about 5am as the sun rose over Llyn y Fan Fach in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales. We wild camped the night before a few metres from this spot.

This house was such a long way off it was a challenge to see the details. Out came my camera and I was able to capture this amazing sight. The sun was baking hot and the view could not have been better. I want to live here… in the summer months of course. ;-)

I was visiting Wales for the first time and a friend of mine, Steve brought me to visit the beach, along with his dog Muffins. Since we couldn’t bring Muffins to play at the usual beach, we brought him to the dog beach right next to it. After playing for half an hour with his favourite tennis ball, it was time to go home. Just as we were walking back Muffins took his tennis ball and ran up a small hill, gazing to the sea and enjoying the wind. It was a lovely evening, with a lovely photo to remind me of the simple enjoyments in life.

I shot this while out with my mate Baz and his drone. He was filming the sunset across the river with his drone and I was shooting long exposure landscapes. When I looked up and saw the drone blocking the sun I grabbed a quick snap.

Went out in the evening during the heavy snowfall which rarely happens in my area, couldn’t feel my hands or fingers but it was worth it.

Nothing extraordinary about this - just with the extended family, and I loved the way the abandoned floats had clustered down one end of the pool. Almost as if they knew the people had given up on the pool for the day and they only had each other for company.

The mysterious lighthouse of the Gower. A place for ghosts? Maybe. When I was there, I had to move like a ghost around there. The tide was rising and the beach was 15 minutes away. I made it easily as I checked the tide hours. But if you go there, be careful and always give yourself enough time to escape, before one of the highest tides of the world reach you.

I went to visit my daughter who lives on the outskirts of Bristol, specifically for the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta and the Nightglow, when the hot air burners and turned on and off to music. A great spectacle.

I volunteer for a mental health organisation and was meant to be meeting one of their service users who I’m helping out. We had planned to go on a photo walk but unfortunately, they didn’t show. I decided to take a few shots anyway and wanted to get some practice shooting buildings.

On a walk through the Valley of the Rocks in North Devon on a typical British summer’s day. The opportunity for this shot was too good to miss.

I spent a good 2 minutes staring at this scene, thinking it looked oh-so-familiar, when it dawned on me that it's the setting for the film Hot Fuzz. Yarp!

I love the RAF Red Arrows Display Team, who perform throughout the length and breadth of the UK during the Summer. There are nine Hawk Jets in the team, with each year, two new recruits joining the prestigious team. The practice throughout the Winter at RAF Acroteria in Cyprus. They perform amazing acrobatics, at speed of 600 miles per hour and within 6 feet of each other. This is The Corkscrew, where two of them spiral around the other seven. If you ever get an opportunity to see them, make sure you do!!

This beach brings back memories of many a childhood family holiday. This contemplative shot has a calming mood and beautiful atmospheric colours. The horizontal bands are soothing and the soft focus adds to the dreamy quality.

A last minute drive to Blackchurch Rock in Devon resulted in cracking sunset lighting up the cliff faces. We could barely walk after the 3 hour drive in a Land Rover Defender and got home at 2am, but totally worth it.

This shot was taken at Uffington Castle on a lovely spring evening. I saw my Sister and Dad looking out over Oxfordshire & Wiltshire and thought it would be a good chance to get a shot of them both. I love the silhouette effect I got from it.

Abereiddy is a hamlet in the county of Pembrokeshire, in south-west Wales. It has a small beach which was awarded the Blue flag rural beach award in 2005. A large car park adjoins the beach, where in the summer an ice cream van can usually be found - wiki

A lovely tranquil, sunny day on the Dorset coast, I spotted these two paddle boarders on a calm sea, with nothing around them. It looked so peaceful.

Off on a weekend with some friends who love to overland and camp. We spent the morning fighting the unrelenting usual English weather of rain followed by more rain. Upon our return to camp pictured here the weather just decided to break and for the rest of the day we got stunning blue skies and a perfect example of a great summers day. I spent about 20 minutes flying my Mavic Air over camp taking a few video clips and messing about with some compositions.

On a day hike up Mount Snowdon in Wales I found a hidden lake of crystal blue water. After trying to find the perfect vantage point for the best part of an hour I captured this shot of hidden water.
