Thunder and Lightning! From July 2021. I've always wanted to capture Lightning. So was a bit surprised to find this image in my back catalogue of lighting over Harringworth Viaduct taken in July 2021 #Lightning #Rutland #stormhour

Another grey February day so here's a sunrise and sunset shot from this day in 2021. The sunrise was particularly impressive and complimented by a dusting of snow across the fields. Taken from the top of Galley Hill near the lost village of Snelston in Rutland. #Rutland #sunrise #sunset #photohour

The forecast doesn't look great for tomorrow's full #SnowMoon so here's some I took in February 2021 at Rutland Water looking towards NormantonChurch from a bit over a mile away. It was pretty much ideal conditions that year with a totally clear sky and calm water. #MoonHour #moonrise #stormhour

Minimal Normanton Church under some cold and crisp blue sky that's sadly missing at the moment! #RutlandWater #Rutland #stormhour #minimal

A familiar tree at the Eyebrook reservoir and a low point of view to show some details in the frosty grass. #frosty #lonetree #sunrise #stormhour

Bit of #naturalframing for @landscapehead.com Taken in July 2023 at #RutlandWater #landscape

Theme of the weekend: Natural Framing 🖼️ In landscape photography, elements like tree branches, leaves, rock formations, or architectural structures can be used to create a "frame" around the main subject. This technique adds depth, draws the viewer’s eye to the focal point, and enhances immersion.

Another one from yesterday's frosty sunrise at the Eyebrook reservoir. #sunrise #cold #frosty #stormhour

The same trees at Sunrise in yesterday's photo but somewhat closer! Coincidently, it's the same sun as well! #Sunrise #orange #Rutland #Leicestershire #stormhour

3 photos of the sun rising on the way to work this morning. Looking out over the Eyebrook reservoir, I'm standing in Leicestershire looking into Rutland (while i can) with Northamptonshire in the distance. #sunrise #Leicestershire #Rutland #Northamptonshire #photohour

Beautiful sunset this evening near the Eyebrook reservoir on the border of Rutland and Leicestershire. If you look carefully, you can see the crescent moon and Venus (just!) #sunset #lonetree #crescentmoon #Venus #stormhour #Rutland

Thinking ahead to spring and hopefully more scenes like this! #blue #light #photohour #BlueSkyArtShow #rutland #photography

Cold and Gold at Rutland Water a couple of years ago. Although it looks like snow on the hill it's actually a build up of frost over several cold days. #Rutland #winter #throwback
