Every Monday I will post a monochrome (black & white) photograph that I made. This week it is Sunrays Through The Clouds. I made this photograph while out walking my dogs along a path I’d not taken in a while. I’d forgotten what a marvellous view it was looking south across the Vale of Pickering. […]

I don’t like Halloween but…
Halloween isn’t really my thing. Certainly, when I was a kid it wasn’t as big a deal in the UK as it is now. Of course, it’s been driven to what it is by commercialism and somehow trying to recreate what it is across the Atlantic in the US and Canada. But, I like to […]
The Animals of South Lakes Safari Zoo
We’ve been hoping for a chance to visit this zoo for a while and yet if we’d allowed ourselves to be influenced by some of the reviews on TripAdvisor we might never have done so. I’m so glad we decided to see for ourselves and enjoyed a great day out here. The zoo is located […]

A New Lens Brings New Love For Photography
I’ve always subscribed to the belief that the best camera is the one that you have with you. If that happens to be a smartphone then great, if it’s a high-end DSLR then that’s great too. My viewpoint hasn’t changed on this at all. However, we all love new kit and I recently took possession […]
Our First Visit To Rievaulx Abbey
In 2014 we moved from the old Yorkshire rag trade town of Dewsbury to the border of the North York Moors. Suddenly we were surrounded by what used to be day trip destinations for us. So why we have waited five years to visit this beautiful place is quite beyond me. Spoiler alert: Rievaulx Abbey […]
