South Downs Way
One of the things I love the most about our house is that, unless some bad weather has rolled in, you can see the South Downs National Park from our bedroom window. It often makes for some beautiful...

I am partial to a heritage railway. You might have noticed that with my trips to the Swanage Railway, the Bluebell Railway, and the time I took a walk just to see 60163 Tornado go past. There’s a lot...

Dark Crystal
This is another one of those posts that represents a funny little window in time. In August 2019, to celebrate the release of a new Dark Crystal series on Netflix (since cancelled, of course, because...

Garden Wildlife
Let’s get this out of the way from the start: this post will contain images of tits and peckers. Whether that helps or hinders the popularity of this post remains to be seen. (Although an early...

Red Arrow Flyby
My last post (please ignore for the moment, if you don’t mind, that it was quite a while ago) featured some things photographed from my back garden, most of which I’d never really expected to see....

Thirteen Years
Little is certain any more in this world, but I try to at least offer you a small amount of comfort by at least posting here once a year on the anniversary of my setting up of this site, reflecting on...

Brighton
Where we live we’re not that far from the south coast of England, and Brighton is our closest point on the coast. Admittedly it is a bit busy a place, but even so it’s lovely having the coast so close...

Aston Martins
Last summer, I received word that our local heritage railway would be hosting the local Aston Martin owners club for a day for people to come down and have a look. Knowing that I’ve had fun...

The Coin Tree
In Cornwall, on the walk to St Nectan’s Glen near Tintagel, you may come across a fallen tree. Even from a distance, the tree doesn’t look quite right. Something about the way it looks will catch your...

Worthing
I had a day off at the start of March, and with it being a relatively nice day and with me feeling a bit restless I decided to take a drive to the coast for some fresh air. Knowing it was not that far...

Returns to the Bluebell Railway
I have been back to the Bluebell Railway on several occasions since that fateful first visit in 2019 where I bought my DSLR but no SD cards, forcing me to learn how to use my to that point barely used...

Weymouth Aquarium
Shooting in aquariums is a challenge. If you’ve been reading this site for a while and have a good memory (or just found this site whilst searching for aquariums and have recently looked at some of my...

Beachy Head
It was October 2020. Covid restrictions were easing enough for people to be able to go out when they wanted, but you still had to keep your distance and wear face masks. The vaccine wasn’t a thing...

Bluebell Railway: Branch Line Gala
My first excursion lineside at the Bluebell Railway gave me a new obsession. Even though it was a short trip and I, in essence, only got to photograph two trains, the results I got were way above what...
