Walking my dog in the hills overlooking the village where I live, camera in hand, I came across this view & took a random hand held shot with the beautiful Campsie Fells & Arrochar Alps in the background. I really should go back & retake the photo with a tripod next time. Maybe a snowy winter view would be nice.

Taken at the end of a long day exploring the Lake District. Surprise View allows you to get high above Derwent Water without straying too far from the car, making it perfect for sunset.

Setting off just before dawn, we hiked the short 1km trail up to the top of Raven Crag, which overlooks the length of Thirlmere. It was one of those bitingly cold winter mornings, but the moment the sun came up over the Helvellyn range, all discomforts are forgotten as you realise the beauty of the world.

We spent a weekend in the Lake District and on the way stopped off to explore the shores of Wast Water. Weather was perfect, if not a bit chilly and I was jealous of the folks swimming and kayaking in the water. We got another lucky look at the lake as the road to Gosforth was blocked by a crash between a Vectra and a Tesco van.

A last minute trip to the English Lake District In spring and we got lucky with the weather. As we climbed Scafell Pike it was grey and misty until we made it above the clouds, where we were greeted with blue skies.

As I reached the top of Helvellyn from the Striding Edge approach, I took a photo of my friends posing by the summit. As I smiled and checked the photo, I noticed another group. Their arms locked together, they smiled at small jokes they made as they all stared at the lakes below us. I took this photo and then approached them to ask if they would like a copy. They were three sisters with their mother. The mother is the lady in green who's glasses you can just make out. The way they face the view as she clings fondly to her daughters; this image will always remind me of family.

It was the end of a long day in the Lake District. We just managed to get some bouldering in on Langdale Boulders as the sun began to set, casting beautiful shadows down the valley.

We took a wrong turn on the way to some caves you’ll see in other photos, but instead of turning back we found an empty field for an impromptu game of baseball. Second time this year that I’ve played baseball in a British National Park and there is nothing better than spontaneous games in the most beautiful settings. Not sure this will be an image that others can use particularly but it was one I wanted to share regardless, hope you like it.

The afternoon light disappeared as quickly as it arrived leaving us with grey clouds and rain in the distance. But we were out of the car, so we grabbed our gear and followed the sound of the water. Just over the dry stone wall we found our next shot down the Pass of the small brook tumbling over rocks and boulders.

A scenic long-exposure taken at the waterfall by Campsie Fells, Scotland (UK). If there’s one thing I admire about water the most, it’s that no matter what’s in its way, no matter how big or small the obstacle, no matter how hard it gets, it always pushes through and refuses to be stopped. It has a final destination - a goal - and it’s focused. It knows where it’s going, and it flows. And even though it may have taken a few detours or unusual paths along the way, it comes back and joins as one - it becomes whole again. Be like water, my friend (Bruce Lee).

The Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia), or Highlands tiger, is a dark coloured subspecies of the European wildcat native to Scotland. Its range previously also included England and Wales, but it became extinct in these areas, as well as in southern Scotland, within the last 150 years. Extant numbers are estimated at between 100 and 300.

This picture was taken in Edinburgh city. I really like the back lit effect and the whole image has a warm feeling. The editing fives it a very moody look.

I was on a trip in Edinburgh and in the Princess Streets Park i found this little mate, played with him for a solid 15 minutes and was able to shot stunning pictures of him feeding and running.

Had a great time in Edinburgh in Scotland this Christmas. Sadly I didnt get out enough to take pictures. But really like this one of people taking selfies by the Castle.

We went on a walk to explore Devilla forest a few months after a forest fire in the area. It was a beautiful mix of burnt, dead forest with the smell of fire in the air, and vibrant new life jumping out and hiding amongst the ruins.

An early start for a photoshoot on Loch Lomond in the Trossachs National Park for a client. Took a series of quick shots while waiting for the sun to peak over the hills in the distance!

A small abandoned jetty at the East side of the Trossachs in Scotland. You can see the Autumn beginning to die out with the last areas of tone holding on for life.
