Earlier in the year I entered a landscape photography competition sponsored by Giottos which was themed “Dusk to Dawn”. To my surprise, I got an email late one Friday afternoon announcing that I was one of the five competition winners. This was the image with which I won: As part of the prize I got to choose […]
This past week I got sent to Hong Kong on a work assignment. Being my first trip there, I was very excited. I bought a guidebook and did a fair bit of research on what to see during my limited time there. As I had work during the day, it would mean I only had […]
During autumn, one of the best places to visit is the Winkworth Arboretum. It was created by Dr Fox over 60 years ago in what he termed “painting with trees”. With over a thousand different species of trees and shrubs, you are guaranteed to see a spectacular color. Here are some photos from a walk in Winkworth over […]
Having two dogs means that on the weekends we need to take them for a walk. Either that or we dont have a house left standing – you can ask our “less than a month old” rug about that. I am not complaining, we do enjoy the walks very much as it gets us out […]
On Saturday, Debbie spent the day baking a cake for Geraldine’s birthday party on Sunday. Before it left the house, I made sure I got a few photo’s of it to record how great it looked. Needless to say, it tasted just as good and hardly anyone said no to seconds. Plus being so big, […]

On the 7th of July I made my way to RAF Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo. Waking up in the morning I realised I was in for a relatively wet day. Yes, another wet weekend. Fortunately by the time I arrived at RAF Fairford, the rain had stopped but everything was still pretty […]
On Saturday I headed down to Brighton to take part in a photo walk organised by Glyn Dewis. I was very much looking forward to the walk, not only to capture what Brighton has to offer but also to meet various people who I regularly converse with on Twitter. A big thanks to Glyn for […]
On Sunday we headed out to Cowdray Park Polo Club to watch the quarters finals of the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cub. As we got there it was in the middle of a downpour, fortunately a few minutes later it stopped and turned out to be a great afternoon. There were two fixtures on the cards […]
Recently I was in Amsterdam on a work assignment. I took the opportunity to explore the city centre, and more precisely the area around Centraal Station. Being my first visit to Amsterdam, there was definitely a lot to see and the city did not disappoint. What made it even better, was that it was the […]
