Bluebell Fields

The Bluebell Park

Spring is my most favourite time of year.  Growing up in the countryside you're acutely aware of it.  The birds start to sing, the hedgerows come to life and trees start to leaf.  Days become longer and you feel happy to be alive. One of the most beautiful sights in England are the bluebell fields … Continue reading The Bluebell Park

One Evening a Month …

I don't really do New Year resolutions, but this year one of the thoughts I had was that I'd try to continue with the latter half of past year and ensure I upload at least one post a month.  Today is the 31st January so I'm already cutting it fine! The other "resolution" is to learn … Continue reading One Evening a Month …

I love photography.  As you may have been able to tell from the few posts I've put up so far, my direction has always been primarily concentrated toward landscapes.  For a long time though, I've been enviously following lots of talented portrait photographers on platforms such as Flickr and Instagram longing to do similar work myself … Continue reading Nikita Crombie

A Dartmoor Autumn

Lots of local photographers seem to start rushing around and gathering their Autumn images as early as the end of September.  For me, this is somewhat early - I much prefer the rich colours of fall as we head into November with the crisp mornings and fresh air beginning to hint toward the icy and bleak grip of … Continue reading A Dartmoor Autumn

The Costa Rica Chronicles

Well, there's a fancy title if I ever saw one and it's one designed to have caught your attention, but I'm afraid I need to come clean.  I was only there for a 2 week holiday, and so the Chronicles as such, don't exist. Way back in November 2002 I hopped on a plane with … Continue reading The Costa Rica Chronicles

Boardmasters

Even though I live in the South West I've not once been to Boardmasters in Newquay, the annual surfing, music and skateboarding festival.  Pretty surprising when you realise how much I love these things! So, this year I headed down on the Saturday to soak up a bit of the atmosphere and watch as much … Continue reading Boardmasters

Westminster Bridge

London

It's been a long time since I last wrote a post for this. I seem to be quite good at starting things but never keeping them moving forwards. I suppose for the past year that although I've taken photos, I haven't really edited up sets or considered words to go with them. Just the odd, … Continue reading London

Wat Pho - The Reclining Buddha

Bangkok Adventures …

November 2007.   That was the start of my year long adventure.  In hindsight it wasn't as adventurous as many other travelers, yet to me it was a step into the unknown. A group of 10 of us met at Heathrow with our final destination being Australia for a years working holiday. I'd wanted to do this for … Continue reading Bangkok Adventures …

The New Year … and Middle Earth.

Well, New Year has come and gone. The truth is, I hate this time of year. Christmas and New Year are the only highlights, and New Year itself is always rather underwhelming. This time 5 years ago I was in the middle of an adventure overseas (lots of posts about that will follow in due … Continue reading The New Year … and Middle Earth.

The Beginning

Well, here's the first entry on my blog and I think we'll keep it short and simple until I begin to work out how things work! It was my friends birthday at the end of November. Not a significant birthday this year other than it unfortunately falls upon the anniversary of a close friend who … Continue reading The Beginning
