Another view of the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy in September just before a storm rolled in. Really liked the light that day with the sunlight highlighting the foreground and the darkness of the approaching storm.

There is a feeling of belonging and stillness walking through an old established woodland. Lichens and moss hung from every available branch and water dripped from the leaves after a rain shower.

The Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire, is a disused slate quarry. Even though it was mid-morning, the light was spectacular with a rain storm coming in off the sea providing an imposing backdrop to the colour of the sea with the sun highlighting the cliffs and ruined quarry buildings.

Ffynone Waterfall. According to folklore is the gateway to Annwfn (The Otherworld) and the meeting place of King Pwyll and King Arawn where they swap places for a year to right a wrong. It is a very enchanting place.

Having missed the lunar eclipse of the Harvest Moon on the 7th September because of the weather, I ventured out the following evening to capture the moonrise above the Teifi valley.

Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) returning with a Sandeel. Sandeels are a vital food for many seabirds including the Arctic Tern, Kittiwake as well as the Puffin. The ban on Sandeel Fishing in UK waters should help ensure healthy stock of this food source.

Late evening visit to Holwell Reserves near Melton Mowbray. The sun setting through the trees, birds singing. From a former ironstone quarry to a peaceful landscape, it's amazing how nature can reclaim a landscape given the time.

Dippers are the UK’s only songbirds that swim underwater, walking along stream beds in search of food. Fledglings bob eagerly at the river's edge. Fluff-ball shadows of their parents, they'll be fed for around 2 weeks before they learn to brave the current.

The Cutty Sark, built in the 1860s to carry tea from India to Great Britain. She was one of the last of the Tea Clippers and the fastest. She is now a museum in Greenwich, London. Shot on my mobile phone.
