Travel guide of River CamMy grandfather was a choral scholar at this collage before WW2. He sat in the seat you can’t quite see on the in the far right corner, right beside the organ pipes. I grew up in Cambridge and whenever we had visitors from out of town, we took them here and I’d feel closer to my grandfather (who died when I was about 18). I tried for a long time to take a picture which showed it off to it’s full majesty, and this is as close as I’ve ever got! If you get the chance to visit, you really should.

I was speaking at a conference during the evening and arrived at Peterborough mid-afternoon. My Mum, who is in her 80’s had mentioned to see the cathedral, if I had time. I was not disappointed and the £3 filming fee was well worth it. An amazing cathedral with some fascinating history.

Recently I headed to Colchester Zoo, Essex, UK for an experience day that my mum was booked into. It was one of the weekends that we had a fair bit of snow, so not many animals were out, but there wasn’t many people at the zoo either. Thankfully, these tigers were outside enjoying the snow and made for some really nice photos :)

The meerkat or suricate (Suricata suricatta) is a small carnivoran belonging to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). It is the only member of the genus Suricata.[3] Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa - Wikipedia. Colchester Zoo has a really nice Meerkat enclosure. I think there’s about 15-20 living in it and they’re all incredibly active. This one saw me hanging about with my 100-400mm zoom lens and perched himself up high. Really fun animals, always great to photograph!

Walking along the river in Hampsted Heath public park found in London, a friend said it is her dream house, to have a view of the park and the river. I decided to capture that moment.

I was catching up with an old friend and noticed this tree compared to others had really started to blossom. Standing there, I realised I was peering through something that had just begun its life to look at something already so full of life. That’s this wonderful city, London, for you.

I’ve always wanted to photograph the Millennium Bridge. Numerous posts on Instagram made it seem like a fascinating destination - especially at sunrise and sunset. The only issue? The sun rose far to early in the morning and too many people were around at golden hour. With that in mind, I decided to try something a bit different using a ND filter.

Always wanted to photograph this beautiful 12th century church, damaged in the Great Fire and then finished off by a bomb in WWII. It is now a garden in the City of London, and a lovely place to have lunch.

I was passing through Somerset House one delightful day in June and I decided to grab a couple shots of people sitting leisurely in the courtyard. I love this place so any excuse to come here and capture photos, I’ll take it!

From the offices of Camelot, operators of the National Lottery. I had a job shooting portraits for the day and had a moment to capture this unique view whilst I waiting for my clients to walk in.

Early in the morning, to have the best light and less people. It was the last day of my trip in London which was wonderful and so sunny, nothing better to end it than seeing one of the best symbol of London!

Coming home for Christmas, this street is one of my favourites in London and the first time I’ve shot this. I love how the classic red London bus and black cab are both involved.

Took this on March 22nd, the same date as the terrorist attacks at Westminster. City activity still in full swing. Buildings looking great on a chilly night and the day-to-day hustle on the Thames continues.

Milestone reached. 30 photos in 30 days. Well make that 35 days. I kinda missed some - mainly cuz I reached my quota (which was weird). Visiting London after almost 10 years was really amazing. I am so used to the mountains tho, that big cities kinda seem chaotic to me.

Passing through City Hall, I decided to sit on the grass verge by the river Thames and capture the atmosphere here. It is usually a crowded place and this day was no different. People come here to chill out, enjoy the view or have a drink at the nearby pop up bar.

I was wondering near the London marathon race course when I found a spot overlooking the main road. After a few dozens minutes waiting a handful athletes started appearing and one of the volunteers moved closer to cheer them. The rest is history :-)

One Blackfriars on the Thames’ South Bank has to be one of the ugliest proponents of modern architecture that puts making a profit over the legacy of future generations. One has to wonder what London Borough Southwark’s planners were thinking (or rather not) when they approved this carbuncle, -but it makes for interesting photography ;-)
