This morning I went for a walk around Battersea Park, London. It's an enjoyable place to visit and very peaceful, there is also a small zoo for children and plenty of nice areas to sit outside in the sun and enjoy a picnic or cup of tea / coffee. Below are three photos I took... Continue Reading →

Canvey Island Textures
A couple of months ago I went out with Ron to do some photography. We started at Wat Tyler Country Park and then continued towards Canvey Island. While there we climbed what looked like the land section of an old deep water dock, I was able to get some nice textures from a couple of old... Continue Reading →
Romania – Wedding, Danube, Trains and Breaking Down!
The Austria / Hungarian border was eerie to say the least, it was the first time on the journey that I felt I was travelling into a whole different way of life. The border seemed, for want of a better word, lifeless, it really looked as if I had gone back in time and crossed the iron curtain... Continue Reading →
Vienna Night Time Shop Signs – Drive To Romania
After our explorations through Munich Ron and I drove across Austria, first stopping in Salzburg for a quick snack and coffee. Unfortunately we spent a fair time trying to get into the city stuck in traffic and finding a place to park so we couldn't spend as much time looking around as we would have... Continue Reading →

This was definitely an opportunity I... Continue Reading →

Peak District Holiday
It's been a long time since I added anything to this blog. Not to say there hasn't been anything interesting happening, I just drifted away from the habit of making even semi-regular updates. Visiting the Peak District in June of this year was one of the things I failed to blog about. The week was spent... Continue Reading →
My Jersey Island Journey – Part 8 – Val de la Mare Reservoir
On the second to last day in Jersey I visited Val de la Mare Reservoir. To my great surprise at one end there was a large dam holding back the water which provided multiple photography opportunities. Some of the photographs I took went back to my old minimal architectural style which I think the dam... Continue Reading →
My Jersey Island Journey – Part 7 – Old Rusty Tractors
A surprisingly interesting part of my holiday was when I visited Le Greve De Lecq on the north coast. There was quite a small beach and a couple of cafes and the all important ice cream stand along the beach, a little further up was the old British barracks and watermill. Walking along the beach...
