A very nice woodland wander today around the Wrekin, it would appear to be optimum weather for fungi. #Fungi

Sunset this evening from Lilleshall Hill, #Shropshire #sunset #Photography

An anonymous post box (no royal cypher) spotted in Shrewsbury #PostboxSaturday

The 15th century font at St Mary’s church, Shrewsbury for #FontsOnFriday

A mosaic of the Wrekin, created by The Arts Society Wrekin in 2018 to mark the Gold Anniversary of The Arts Society that was established in 1968 by Patricia Fay as the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies (NADFAS) The mosiac is mounted in Weston Park, Staffs

A bit o’Shropshire for #europeandayoflanguages

A new Telford based OS Benchmarks walk, this one based through & around Wellington. Many thanks to the Wellington Walkers are Welcome group who gave me the opportunity to lead people around the route on Monday as part of the September Walking Festival rowleyanth.wordpress.com/2025/09/12/w...

A fabulous warm glow at sunrise this morning atop the Wrekin. A definite chill on the strong breeze but still a warm trek to the top. #Wrekin #Shropshire #Sunrise #Photography

I made the most of a sleepless night and headed up the Wrekin for sunrise. A lovely brisk morning with the moon glowing as I walked up and some lovely golden light as the sun rose up. The difficult part was heading back down knowing work was waiting.

Moody! I prefer the label atmospheric 😉 #Sunset #Wrekin #Shropshire #Photography

A visit to my favourite tree at sunset this evening, it had been a while since I was on the Wrekin for sunset and although the clouds quickly obscured the sun, it was good to be back. #Wrekin #Shropshire #Photography

Sunrise over the compass stone this morning on Glastonbury Tor.

Atop the Wrekin on a warm, late summer Friday afternoon #Wrekin #Shropshire

Stunningly clear views in all directions from atop the Wrekin this afternoon. #Wrekin #Shropshire

A bruised looking sky at sunset yesterday looking out across Telford from Snedshill. #Telford #Shropshire #Photography

One of the last few hot air balloons to take off from Telford balloon fiesta this weekend, seen here with the Wrekin in the distance not long before sunset. #photography #Telford #Shropshire

Alongside the river Severn looking at the world’s first bridge made of iron, cast in the iron works of Coalbrookdale and erected 1779. #photography #Ironbridge #Shropshire

Some of the hot air balloons which flew over my garden this morning from the Telford balloon fiesta. #Telford #Shropshire #TelfordBalloonFiesta

As today is marked as #WorldPhotographyDay2025 I thought I would share a selection. My favourites are always subject to my mood at the time, right now I’d like a holiday so that may have influenced some of these pictures. Details in the alt txt.

After work bimble up the Wrekin and a visit to a very low reservoir. #Wrekin #Shropshire #photography

Warm wander on the Wrekin Wednesday afternoon. A hot ascent with a welcome breeze at the top. A visit to my favourite tree, fabulous views and some lovely colours. #Wrekin #Shropshire #photography

It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

A brilliant glow on the rising moon #photography

An outpouring of love for Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham today.

A new blog - this one about the latest round of Church Crawling and medieval Scratch Dials (simple sundials) on the Grade-I Listed St Peter's Church in Norbury, Staffs. rowleyanth.wordpress.com/2025/07/17/s... #churchcrawling #scratchdials

A very warm Saturday walk up to Rodney’s Pillar, stunning views and a very welcome breeze atop the top. It would appear that everyone else was trying to keep cool as I didn’t meet another soul until I was nearly back at the car park.

A bit of creativity at Mitchel’s Fold Stone Circle, I took an ornamental angel to capture at sunset and wasn’t disappointed. Feels good when you see a vision come to fruition. #Photography

Friday sunset on Lilleshall hill #Shropshire #Photography

I was on the Wrekin this morning for the Solstice Sunrise - here the rising sun is seen looking over the summit's Trig Pillar's Spider

A sunset wander around Mitchell’s Fold Stone Circle. #Shropshire #photography www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places...

Wednesday evening at sunset on Lilleshall Hill. #Shropshire #Photography

Monday evening wander on Caer Caradoc. I didn’t see a soul on the hill, a nice change from the ever popular Wrekin. #Shropshire #Photography

PA474 Avro Lancaster over Cosford today on its 80th Birthday which also happens to be my Dad’s birthday 🎂 although the Lancaster is slightly older than my Dad #Cosford #Shropshire #BBMF

The baptismal tub font at St. Mary's Church in Bucknell, crafted from Wrekin quartzite, displays a fascinating blend of styles. Its unique face carving is considered early Norman in origin, while other carvings, including the interlacing patterns, are believed to be Saxon. #History #Shropshire

A beautiful evening on Corndon hill, Powys for sunset. #Photography

I managed to get down to Sutton Wood and the abundance of wild garlic whilst we had bright sunshine at the weekend. The canopy was so lush that not much sunlight could break through but the serenity of the area was just perfect. #Shropshire #Photography

The other iron bridge, Coalport Bridge built 1818. Captured this morning from the banks of the river Severn, was lovely to sit a while although I felt a little envious of those in the Wood Bridge pub garden and the many canoeists and kayakers gliding along before me. #Shropshire

Is it just Pareidolia or is it a face hidden in the Iron Bridge.

Near perfect reflections on the surface of the Shropshire Union Canal at Norbury junction this afternoon. Reflected is the grade II listed canal bridge complete with one of, if not the shortest telegraph poles in the UK. #photography

Remember #VEDay80

On #VEDay80 a story of seven men from across Britain and (then) Empire; six of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice, still lying together in an unmarked grave in Berlin One of those six was my nan's younger brother, Reuben Martin of Old Park, Telford, Shrops rowleyanth.wordpress.com/2024/01/27/i...

Watching tv and the #VEDay80 flypast got me looking back at my video of the #BBMF, Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire flying over the worlds 1st Iron Bridge #Shropshire in May 2023. A fantastic sight and great sound.

Friday sunset viewed from Lilleshall hill #Shropshire #Photography

Wild garlic, love it or hate it 🤔 personally I love it and it makes for some fabulous scenery. #landscape #Photography #Shropshire

I was out stalking the Wrekin Friday afternoon. 1st pic - The Wrekin beyond the 7m-high basilica wall at Wroxeter (Viroconium) the largest piece of free-standing Roman wall in the country. 2nd I took a wrong turn, down green lanes not suited to my car 🤦🏻‍♀️ but found a nice spot 🤣

I will be your keeper, you possess the key Forget me not, forget me not, 'cause you belong to me, yeah I will be your shadow when you walk away Forget me not, forget me not I will follow you until your dyin' day……..

Took a trip to Lilleshall Abbey for a mooch after work this afternoon. Founded in about 1148, this Augustinian abbey became a private residence after the Reformation, and was severely damanged during the Civil War during a Parliamentarian siege. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places...
