There's no way I was going to pass up the chance to make the most of the sunshine we had on Saturday, so I was out of the house first thing. Forty minutes later and I was making my way along the ridge of the Lawley on what was a dark and decidedly cold walk. #Shropshire

A brief pause in the rain as winter sunshine picks out the medieval ruins of Wenlock Priory. This was once the site of an abbey which was home to St Milburga, an Anglo-Saxon princess who became the patron saint of #Shropshire.

Some of the most enjoyable moments when I'm out photographing #Shropshire are when it’s just me, the summit of a hill, a setting sun, and the quiet sounds of the countryside. Here you have all of those, looking out from Hill End above Cardington, with Willstone Hill and...

Sunshine picks out a carpet of snowdrops in the churchyard at Acton Scott. The Long Mynd is stretching across the horizon beyond the yew trees, with Ragleth on the right. I saw a horse in the field opposite and, after half an hour, he finally moved into view and I got my shot. #Shropshire

The rooftops of Little Wenlock peek above the morning mist in this ethereal view from the summit of the Wrekin. It’s the hope of coming across scenes like this that means I carry all my lenses with me whenever I go out, because I never want to miss a photo opportunity.

Here’s a splash of colour to brighten up a dull day - a rainbow in the sky above Ludlow Castle. I took this picture last November but have only just got around to editing all my files. No prizes for guessing where I was standing! #Shropshire

What an amazing sight - thousands of starlings swooping and diving in unison above the nature reserve at Whixall Moss. The birds made an incredible whooshing sound as they wheeled through the sky at sunset before settling down to roost for the night.

Listening to the weather forecast is part of the job for landscape photographers. Things don’t always go to plan, however, and the promise of early morning mist can come to nothing. It has happened to me many times, but this was one of those mornings when I was in luck. This is Bridgnorth seen...

Have you ever tried jogging down a muddy path while carrying a heavy camera bag? That was me after spending sunrise on Caer Caradoc, near Church Stretton. As I headed back down the hill I spotted some sheep in a field and realised they were being herded into a lane. I started to run...

How I love a misty #Shropshire landscape, with its eerie white silence transporting you into a world of your own. I was standing on the ramparts of Nordy Bank hill fort on Brown Clee for this shot, watching as an ethereal scene unfolded beneath me.

Early morning on the summit of Caradoc, on a day when it was so cold that the water in this pool had turned to ice. This is the view looking towards the Lawley, with the unmistakeable shape of the Wrekin standing out on the horizon. Shrewsbury and Haughmond Hill are on the horizon to the left,

A silent wave of white creeps up the west side of the Long Mynd, above the hamlet of Asterton. A couple of minutes later and this view was completely hidden from sight, lost beneath the early morning mist. A magical start to the day. #Shropshire

Over the hills and far away - with a sprinkling of snow on the distant slopes. I was standing on the summit of Titterstone Clee for this shot, looking out across the Corvedale towards the Stretton Hills. From the left are Hope Bowdler Hill, Willstone Hill and Caer Caradoc, with Wenlock Edge seen...

Brrr! - the past few days have been great for taking pictures in the snow, but it’s a relief that the cold spell has eased its icy grip. I took this picture along the frozen Llangollen Canal at Ellesmere Wharf on a morning when even my thickest socks were failing to keep my feet warm. #Shropshire

Standing guard through the centuries - here's another view of Mitchell’s Fold stone circle, taken shortly after a blizzard swept across the landscape. This Bronze Age site stands on Stapeley Hill, with the Stiperstones seen stretching away in the distance. It is said to be named after... #Shropshire

A path into history - here is Whittington Castle, near Oswestry, sparkling in the sunshine after overnight snow. I usually photograph the castle in summer with swans on the moat, but this was the first time I have captured it in snow - another shot ticked off my to-do list! #Shropshire

Sunshine and snow at Ellesmere - with a burst of colour from hawthorn berries framing narrowboats on the Llangollen Canal. I have given the image greater depth by focus-stacking 21 shots, which ensures everything is in focus. The editing is time-consuming but I enjoy the challenge! #Shropshire

Stark and otherworldly - sunset at Mitchell’s Fold, the Bronze Age stone circle on Stapeley Hill. I got this shot at the tail end of a blizzard, when the sky took on a golden glow that made a spectacular contrast with the snow-covered landscape. It was every bit as cold as it looks. #Shropshire

A magical scene in the Corvedale as the curtain rises on a brand new year. I was on Brown Clee for this shot and in the distance are, from left, the Long Mynd, Hope Bowdler and Caradoc. Hilltops stood out like islands, then silently disappeared as they were swallowed up in the mist. #Shropshire.

1/10 The new year is just around the corner, so here's a look back at our top 10 favourite pictures of 2025. Here is the Harvest Moon rising over Titterstone Clee. The sky was a vivid blend of pink and purple, contrasting with the cool tones of the radar dome below. #Shropshire

🎄 It's Day 23 of our #Shropshire advent calendar and here is a covering of snow on Brown Clee, the highest hill in the county. This is the view from above the village of Shipton, with St James' Church nestled between the trees. ☃️

🎄 Day 22 of our #Shropshire advent calendar takes us to Bitterley, near Ludlow, with the tower of St Mary's Church standing out against the snowy slopes of Titterstone Clee. The sky on that day was a glorious bright blue, with a solitary bird wheeling overhead in the winter sunshine. 🎅
