I'm reposting this shot for #Sharemondays2026. It shows a lone tree (a hawthorn I think) being lit by the sun, and standing out against a backdrop of shaded conifers. #LakeDistrict #Grizedale #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

I'm reposting this image for #Sharemondays2026 this week. It shows the Mont Blanc range in the European Alps, taken from the air on a flight back to the UK from Italy. #photography #landscape #mountains #MontBlanc #Alps #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

I was treated to some amazing views of the Mont Blanc Massif yesterday, on a flight back from Naples. Glad I had my camera with me. #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #mountains #alps #MontBlanc #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

After much deliberation, my choice for #Sharemondays2026 this week is this shot by @dammo.bsky.social It wasn't an easy decision, but I kept coming back to this one. It has a real sense of mystery and I couldn't help but be reminded of some of Edward Hopper's work. Congratulations. Over to you.

Lots of fantastic and fascinating images for this week's #Sharemondays2026. It was a tough job but these 4 images most caught my eye & are on my shortlist. Congrats to @circa35mm.bsky.social @dammo.bsky.social @stonesphotographs.bsky.social and @ledarville.bsky.social I'll announce my winner later.

Whilst it's chucking it down now and blowing a gale, earlier in the week there was mist hanging low and it was incredibly still and silent in the forest. #mist #fog #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Damp and dreary in Grizedale Forest, but very atmospheric nonetheless. #Hawkshead #mist #fog ##GrizedaleForest #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin
