Happy New Year – and here’s to another great year of photography!

Riding into the night

Taken at the Christmas Market in Leeds.

The Enchanted Garden

As with previous years, Brodsworth Hall in South Yorkshire is running its Enchanted Garden event. After the sun sets the house and restored Victorian gardens are expertly illuminated to become a place of wonder and enchantment.
This year they changed the route around the gardens which I personally thought was good. The route seemed a little [...]

The Stag

I drove up to Fountains Abbey this morning as I thought there might be some good Autumnal shots. Unfortunately it still seems a little early and the trees are only just beginning to turn. However whilst I was there I spotted this lone Stag in a field at the back of the property and it [...]

Apart from the fact the roads could barely be called roads for most of the time (think dirt [...]

Hilltop Monastery

Another shot from my recent trip. We passed this monastery on the way to see another so I don’t know what it’s called. However it was perfectly located on the top of the hill with the mountains behind.

Little Buddha

Well I’m back from my Northern India/Himalaya adventure. It may be a while before my photos start appearing as I have 575 to go through and process! However I thought I’d give you a sneak peek with this one as it sums up a lot of the trip which was in and around the Buddhist [...]
