a few days around the winter solstice the sun sets behind the reedbeds at the london wetland centre. it is weak enough to shoot straight into (although you do have trouble seeing for a short while afterwards!). last year was obscured by clouds, this year i only had one chance, on sunday. alas, a cloud lurked on the horizon, but i still got some reasonable shots... this being one.

Brilliant!

I love the way the tips of the flowers (is that the name you give them) glow in the light. A really mood driven and atmospheric shot!

thanks!

it is the heads of the reeds, they glow in the setting sun. it is a rather magical place at sunset at amazing to believe you're a few miles from Hammersmith.

Went for a walk on Dunster beach this morning with a friend and our dogs. It was a beautiful sunny day - the perfect antidote to yesterday's grim skies. Spent most the walk wishing I had my proper camera with me but since I have no intention of letting the sand and salt play havoc with its insides and outsides, made do with my phone instead.

Neither of these are particularly special but there's something in both of them that I like.

Another sunny winter's day so the camera once again joined the dog and I on our walk this morning.

Think we saw @Puddles while we were out and about

It wasn't at all misty, but I took this photo against the sun, hence the air of mystery. From where I was standing, the Quantocks were rising up behind me and the hills you can just about make out in the distance are the Blackdowns. Both very different in terms of their geology, terrain, how they look and how they're farmed, but both make for exciting cycling with fabulous views. To my right (ish) and out of the photo are the Brendon Hills and Exmoor.

This is one of the views from yesterday's hike in the Beacons. The place is called Craig Cerrig Gleisiad, and you don't see too many people up there. The bowl of cliffs is north facing and it is a national nature reserve for it's rare arctic-alpine flora. There's still some snow on top of PenY Fan and Corn Du that you can see in the distance.

trying out my new lens....



it's a Holga pinhole lens for the Pentax DSLR. i might use it on my camera with the broken auto-focus.

i'm so high-tech it hurts.
