Here’s a scene I love to capture, an ancient beech alongside a path - shown during winter and autumn. The trees trunk and branches gnarled and full of character. The colour differences are both beautiful and fascinating - I love watching our woodlands change.

A kererū, or New Zealand wood pigeon, which in Māori tradition are messengers between the physical and spiritual worlds. #BirdOfTheDay #tricolour #NewZealand #Photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Hirtshals, West Coast of Denmark. I remember the dogs sitting quietly while I took this - maybe they appreciate a good sunset as much as we do.. #TidesOutTuesday #Denmark #Photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Buachaille Etive Mòr is quite possibly the most photographed mountain in Scotland and for good reason, what a beaut!

A new photo from the Empty Quarter desert. The sun rises through a dusty horizon over the dunes. Memorable moment alone in the desert. Was nice surprise cause that’s only after climbing the dunes before sunrise that I saw the beautiful atmosphere at the horizon. #photography #nature #art #explore

Harrier Hawk on the move.. I was lucky enough to be invited along to a 'hidden' spot where these birds regularly feed. Fantastic to see them.. #FlyDay #Photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky
