Unusual composition to this sunset at Higger in The Peaks, almost a diagonal split but I like it as one side is soft with warm light and pastel shades and the other solid dependable grit that takes centuries to change. Topped off with a sunburst to add a focal interest, I think it works. Tho… Continue reading Rainbow Sunset on Higger

As the title suggest I thought what the hell it’s Christmas I’ll lay my soul open bare and let you into one of my secrets from a past life. I used to be fairly decent on guitar and played in several rock bands, never I must say with any degree of success, probably cos we… Continue reading OK so I played guitar as well!
Ancient Fort
Another black and white conversion detailing winter in The Peaks, Carl Wark is allegedly an iron age fort and is unlike any other found in the north of England. Standing there you certainly get the feel of a timeless landscape and very little signs of modern man’s interference and destruction. The wind blows freezing across… Continue reading Ancient Fort

Weather forecast isn’t very nice for today… Continue reading Winter Tree
